A Swiss donkey and a black sheep

.

A fun and unusual night in Boudry, Switzerland, last month.


Every December this nice man takes his calm donkey around to all the Christmas events in the region.
The kids and the people love it.
I especially loved seeing a donkey again.


One farmer brought a young lamb, which I just HAD to hold.


The donkey led the way for a multi-cultural holiday procession through the cobblestoned medieval old town.

Dumpster Diving


I think we've had enough of the March and I don't have any new material. So it's time to go back into the archives for what I call dumpster diving.

There are a couple levels of meaning here. This is, in fact, a trash dumpster placed behind a store at Cherokee and Jefferson. Across an alley is a Family Dollar store, hence the lettering. This chain sells inexpensive food and general merchandise. Low income people shop there. You know, the poor. And we know how some of the rest of the world views them. (Think big blond comb-over and all his friends.) Maybe only my loose brain saw it but I ended up with an obscure social commentary.                

The Villages Charter Middle School - Mass Murder Attack Derailed


This is a photo taken several years ago of The Villages Charter Middle School. News reports this evening indicate two students from this school have been arrested for planning a massacre similar to the Columbine mass shooting of several years ago.

The teens are in custody and will be charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

The complete story can by found in the Orlando Sentinel newspaper.

Bilingual


Ok, anybody else disturbed that President Blondie wants to prohibit people from most Muslim countries from entering the US? If you agree go to my Facebook page and like this post. But, if you read the news closely, did you notice that there are two exceptions? If you are from Saudi Arabia of Afghanistan you can still pay us a visit. Huh?

These women carried bilingual signs in English and Arabic at the Women's March. The principles are the same in any language. I was glad to see them.        


Evening Glow


We've had some very pretty skies recently. It alternates between fog that covers everything all day to clear skies with lovely pinks and purples.
