At least that pic had painted bare breasts. Some of the old missionary days pictures they had to wear white bras. Looked really inconguous.

Or those red cock rags the pommie settlers bought from the chinese to cover up their shame. Red cock rags have become traditional now!

I still remember the famous cartoon from 'New Yorker' magazine, of the two African native women standing together, talking, and one is saying to the other;
"Quick Harriet, take off your blouse. Here comes National Geographic!"

This is what me and poohbear get today:

The North Carolina department of environmental and natural resources
in Raleigh NC has issued a code red air quality action day for fine
particulates...in effect until 6 am EDT Wednesday. Smoke from a
wildfire in Pender County will spread into the area and persist
through Wednesday morning.

High of 96F with a 50% chance of storms midday.

A lovely gentle rainshower. We haven't had rain in a while now and this is nice. I sat out under the awning and drank my coffee and watched it. Very soothing.

Why have you people suddenly begun posting photos of my inlaws? My wife is not going to be happy.

Yecchh! I was only outside briefly yesterday at noon, but had a hacking cough for the rest of the night from that smoke - it smells & tastes really toxic!

Looks like I'll be staying inside today too!

Bring sweet Stella and I'll be sure to answer the door.

Rain seems to be gone, btw. Getting hot again.

Overcast, low 70's at the moment.

A little rain this morning. Wish it would be nice and slow and do that for days and days.

On the Solstice (and a couple of other Druidic important dates,) they all used to go down to a small clearing along the nearby lake, make a bonfire, and dance naked around it, chanting prayers to heal Mother Earth. I thought this was a pretty noble thing to do, so didn't mind sitting and watching.

Today I get treated to a loooong day of rain.

Yeah, we had that this morning while I was working out in the back yard. They lifted the alert a few hours ago. I thought it was overdone chicken.
