I'm not one to gloat. But when Karma strikes right before our eyes, I have to share it.
Nancy Lacore
A vice admiral, she previously served as the 16th chief of Navy Reserve from 2024 to 2025 and the 93rd commandant of Naval District Washington from 2022 to 2024. She also served as the director of the Maritime Partnership Program, U.S. Naval Forces Europe/Africa/U.S. 6th Fleet, with additional duties as vice commander of U.S. 6th Fleet in Naples, Italy.
Then
And Now
Nancy won election to the U.S. House of Representatives to represent SouthCarolina's 1st Congressional District.
Flipping it from republican to democratic control.
“Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified secretary that this nation has seen," Lacore said in a Sunday interview with CBS News's "Face the Nation."
"He has caused significant damage to us as a country and put us at risk and really damaged the readiness of our entire military force,"
To all that have worked and are still working to make us safe.
It's actually Monday evening. Mr. M. and I had to drive to Coos Bay to do a bit of grocery shopping. When we returned home we stopped at Fred Meyers to fill the car with gas. OMG!!!! Gas is $4.53 a gallon. That's a 60 cent decrease for my town. The gas is higher in Coos Bay. Plus we had 40 cents a gallon off. Yay!!!!! We will see how long it lasts but for today I'm happy with this.
Our garbage is picked up on Tuesdays. Last Tuesday I noticed this long before the pick up.
Yes, the bear is back on our street.
He/she removed two bags and carried them into the neighbors yard. We cleaned it all up. What a hassle. Since I get up first around here. I will haul the can out to the curb tomorrow morning. The bear can have some one else's garbage.
A few meals from this week.
Meatballs with boiled red potatoes and green beans.
One night I had 2 cheese grilled sandwhich
with tomato soup. Not fancy but it was good.
One night I roasted a whole chicken. Here it is resting.
and the meal. Now that I look at the photo this is a colorless meal. But it tasted so good.
I used some of the left over chicken to make chicken fajita burritos. Homemade beans and some rice. I didn't have time to make Mexican rice.
One day I made kidney friend blueberry muffins for Mr. M. He really liked them.
I was going to show a different kind of monster today, but decided to go with the fun monsters. Yes, I'm talking about the real life, truly horrendous monsters that have the next few months to do some real evil in this country and in the world. The "thing" and his butt buddies have already begun.
But like I wrote above let's go with fun monsters.
SITAR is about ANYTHING art. Your art, someone else's art, writing, photography,
the art of cooking, the art of sewing and textiles. Sharing historical
art, street art, a story about art. Do you have a question or need help
with art? Write a blog post and link it up here. We will all try to help
with it. My only rule is that if someone asks for critique it must be done with generosity and consideration. This is a place of learning, encouragement and inspiration.
Street art or murals are some of the most outstanding and creative pieces of art free to the public. It's true for Eugene, Oregon too.
Since 2022 there are more than 40 murals installed by various artists from around the world. The murals focus on giving visibility to cultural heritages and bringing vitality to Eugene during the pandemic.
Here is the time line. Before the pandemic 2016-2019
was the peak period of creation. Because the original goal was to reach 20 murals ahead of the world athletics championships, the city moved quickly. By the summer of 2019, the project had already outpaced its baseline goal, installing more than 20 major artworks
2020–2022 the pandemic slowed international artist travel significantly, forcing municipal art events—like the city's annual Visual Arts Week—to adjust to remote and socially distanced formats. However, final localized work and finishing touches continued through 2021 and 2022 to coincide with the delayed World Athletics Championships. The city has three programs that have created murals. Community Murals, The Urban Canvas Program and the 20x21 Mural Project.
You
know, ANY type of face, nature, the face of a flower, photography,
drawings, paintings, AI. There just needs to be a face in your blog post, a
link back to my blog and please use the image below.
Thank you.
Oh I have been so busy with stuff. LOL
Other than fog we have been having very nice weather. Cold at night but the days are sunny.
I'm in the processes of making clay bells for another special order so today's faces are not mine.
Hope you enjoy.
And this is my youngest grandson and his lovely fiance.
He is in the Air force and going to University to become an MD. I'm so proud of him.
