Here are the photos I've "done something with", so far, from Dad and my trip to Lord Howe Island recently. If I were after attention (which I'm not, really) today, right now, would not be a good time to post this 😂. Oh, well 🤷‍♂️ flickr.com/photos/mfunnell/a…

I hadn’t posted any photos of Lord Howe Island Woodhens from my recent trip. I love ‘em — and they’re now ubiquitous in remote and well- travelled parts of the island both 🥰 Here’s one with two chicks (taken by the guest laundry at my lodgings) 😍

Trump's tendency to lash out after losing has some observers nervous

Trump's tendency to lash out after losing has some observers nervous

The midterms may change the obeisance that has been paid to Trump and an administration that has become increasingly dangerous in its reckless disregard for its impact on the rest of the world.

Just got a scam call. She was like "I'm from PayPal. Someone bought $900 worth of Bitcoin at 7am this morning on your account." And I was just like "Yeah that was me. I like to make my suspicious transactions before breakfast". And she just couldn't get off the phone fast enough.

I didn’t post much here while I was away on Lord Howe Island (a long stay, which is a long story) but here are a few photos I took that I liked, starting with a Masked Booby..
