Frank Lloyd Wright aficionados, get excited: Wright Virtual Visits returns this Thursday, April 24, with a livestreaming look at the Planetarium & Polk County Science Building at Florida Southern College. We hope you'll join us! buff.ly/9sgiq92

#yosemite It's April 17th - trying to reserve gated entry for 6/7-9 and the system will only go to 5/31. So, does anyone know if it's "45 days in advance" or "2 mos. In advance" ??? I'll keep trying - might be "end user error" on my part

Finders Keepers - thrift store find. Vintage cast iron clown shaped coin bank - creep it real good! I love the eyes 👀

Go Blue!

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...
