Today was a special day. As you can see, there's concrete in these photos. This is "The Jungle" as they say, full of apes, not squirrels, and this Jungle in particular, is downtown Statesville, NC.

Why Statesville, plaid-clad camera-person?
Because Statesville is the new location of my cousin's tattoo parlor, that just opened, and I got to photograph it!

It's called "The Parlor", go on, go there, he's awesome.

While those photos aren't public, Statesville very much is, so here's some photos I took yesterday of downtown.

As usual, my goal isn't as much to document where I am like I'm trying to prove it exists to a speculative audience, I just took a few shots while I was there.

And so, The Firekeeper was just out there, in Tanglewood, as he tends to be, taking photos of trees and plants and the like, walking about as he does...

This is a very manecured place. It's part golf course to keep the Tesla and Corvette drivers busy and off of the highways during the day, but if you walk out far enough, you can still find some rustic rather untouched wilderness, my kinda stuff.

I did end up walking out of the woods and finding Mallard lake right in front of me and beyond it, part of the golf course itself, but it was a pleasant surprise to walk out of the woods after half a mile of walking and "BEHOLD... LAKE".

Oh yeah and happy first post on the new instance. Holla back y'all, my ego needs it.

Some misc fun from the last two weeks.
Proper voyaging will be had this weekend.

We seek a 2nd audience with a certain Mountain. Here's hoping the cloud cover is advantageous.

SURPRISE!
Here's a DAISY WALLPAPER! ❁
Wasn't on your agenda today, was it, to stumble across a daisy wallpaper?
What a monument to nature, peace and the tenacity of the wildflower, and all that.

Were my server not... in America, I may have the upload speed to supply a higher resolution of this image, however, yeah, nah. 1080p is God's chosen resolution for speed and efficiency so that's where we're at.

The Round Table in Winston-Salem, NC; Discussion of Gun Laws

April 23, 2026 The round table is in a courtyard providing access to four spacious bungalows. In one of those lives my brother-in-law and his wife, whom we visit a few times a year. Weather permitting, we sit around the round table each day for cocktail hour and discuss affairs, current and past. The volume of the discourse escalates proportionally to the amount of alcohol we consume and the nature of the subject matter. The subject last night was a shooting at a local high school. Two […]
