But… my Dad passed away today. It was a mercy, really, because he’s been gone for over a week now. I think he’s grateful that he wasn’t a Biden voter, and wanted to make *darn* sure of that.
He died in Christ. For those of you who don’t follow the Christian faith, this simply means that we believe he is in heaven, and as Codex & I are also professing Christians, we’ll see him again.

So far I’m failing the daily challenge, but I’m winning at renewing my love of drawing for fun. See the original challenge at Cedar Sanderson’s blog (and do check out her books: like Lab Gremlins. It too, is made of win.)
So from Wednesday: Snapdragon (above), then Cat Accountants, which for some reason I wrote down as Owl Bits (??), Anteater (Nope), Trilobyte, Death, Beehive & Claymore.

Have you got a blog? A SocMedia account? Pass it on. Live free or die. ~ Codex.
In my 2019 book, The Social Media Upheaval, I warned that the Big Tech companies — especially social media giants like Facebook and Twitter — had grown into powerful monopolists, who were using their power over the national conversation to not only sell ads, but also to promote a political agenda. That was pretty obvious last year, but it was even more obvious last week, when Facebook and Twitter tried to black out the New York Post’s blockbuster report about emails found on a laptop abandoned by Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son Hunter.

From Cedar Sanderson’s blog comes a drawing challenge for InkTober with a delightful series of prompts. You can see the original at her blog.

Auntie Ione reminds you that the best thing you can do to prevent getting sick is to wash your filthy hands! Also, stop self-innoculating yourself with whatever is living & growing on every public surface (by all the people who do not wash up after using the toilet, or sneezing onto their hands) and then touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
