FOWC with Fandango — Ambition I was never ambitious enough for the current world. I worked hard and well, but I never sought to be a boss. Every time the idea popped into my brain, that little niggling idea that "bosses get paid better" (which isn't necessarily true in every profession, by the way), I shuddered. … Continue reading AMBITION AND THE LACK THEREOF – Marilyn Armstrong

The Most Dangerous Image
What is sporting about killing a giraffe? It isn’t sporting unless the animal has a weapon and knows how to use it. I can understand hunting to survive, but not trophy hunting.
It’s time for The Nest’s newest Wednesday feature Random Image Inspiration, where some picture someone uploaded to that giant common photo album known as the internet will help inspire today’s post. If you want to see how I’ll be choosing that image, you can feel free to check out the rules I outlined in RII’s debut last week (I know you won’t click on the link, but Sparky’s rules of blogging demand that I insert as many gratuitous links to past posts as possible).

More of the Last Cactus Flower - FOTD – 1/9/2019 Usually, I show all my pictures at once. This time, I realized I could save some and show them over a few days. Unique concept, I know. I also can't wait until a birthday or Christmas and always give presents ahead of time. No patience.
