The Knight Shamans were the glue that bonded the tribe. A thousand years later they were a forbidden myth from the distant past. In the beginning, the Knight Shaman was Mystic, prophet, and wise man. Before it all there was the boy becoming a man becoming a legend. www.amazon.com/First-Knight...

There are some great reviews and comments on this new release and it's a novella well worth reading! The second book is in final edits right now and will be available soon! www.amazon.com/First-Knight...

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

I knew, first hand, people who died of Covid cussing their medical staff out because the staff wouldn't tell them the truth about what they had. The level of dumb in our country is beyond recoverable. I hope Canada gets to absorb the pieces when we fall. They're nice enough, maybe folks can survive.

Yesterday I rode the Max from the SE 'burbs. Took a walk along downtown Broadway just looking at the sights. Found a new diner that I just have to call out. You really should be aware of Grits-n-Gravy at 215 SW 6th Ave. Went in on a whim and will be going back often! Pics are of a bank building.

Just put in an order for the draft review of my next release. 3 months between them. Now if I could make put out full length novels instead of novellas on that time frame, I'd be keeping up with all the big time authors! Check out Book One of the new series here: mybook.to/1stKnightShm...

Been having issues getting my daily walks in recently. So, you get a snowscape as seen from my bedroom window instead of all the other options. LOL.

Drove up Mount Hood Highway today to get some snow pics and a walk in the snow. Here's the Zig Zag River as found off of Road 24 after a nice walk along untrammeled and fresh snow. Original pic on left. PowerPoint alteration to a painting on right.

Mt. Hood in clouds. Taken from Powell Butte Park in Portland. Altered to painting style in PowerPoint by Randy Collins (that's me in my real name format).

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Hiked Powell Butte again yesterday. The mountain had pulled a blanket of clouds around his shoulders and left just his icy peak looking out to watch what the day unfolded. Mount Hood over Powell Butte visitor's center.

I just put up a new 4 out of 5 review of The First Knight Shaman on my Patreon page on the Free section. Stop by to see other free posts as well as support this starving author for as little as $1 a month! I need you! Where all my OOMF's at? www.patreon.com/c/RRoderickR...

Someone saw this DEI thing coming a long time ago.

Can't get a more accurate take than this:

How rich am I? I used both eggs called for in the recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies. Didn't scrimp a bit. Now, THAT's rich!

Sources. Some things that are really ugly were fully expected. And they happened. Other things are being blamed on the imbecile-in-chief that haven't happened ... yet. Let's remember how to use a search engine to see if the latest rumor might be a lie; or a ruse; or a foreign-power intrigue.

There is zero evidence that Trump, or his administration, fired FAA employees. I hate this monster as much as any other actual human person, but, let's be honest in our efforts to dethrone him. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

On today's trip I found a new park to explore. Altamont Park, right in the middle of Blue Nose Central on a hill in Happy Valley, Portland. Lots of swastikars parked in front of the homes up in nose bleed area.

My walk today was in the Pearl District in downtown Portland. It's odd it can be so peaceful and alluring when Pee Trump is wanting to turn it into a wasteland with his jackbooted thugs. First image is the pic. 2nd is my rework in PowerPoint.

I'll be at this event this weekend. I'll have some amazing canvases on display and there are over 50 other vendors hoping for a good turn out as well. Stop by and give us a look! moonbazaars.com/fmb-main/

Yesterday's walk. Up Powell Butte again. A very nice hike, but I found out on Sunday that there aren't enough parking spaces for a sunny weekend day. Drove around the lot several times before giving it up. Very nice yesterday though! Mount Hood in 2nd Pic.

Day before yesterday's walk. I LOVE this house right across the street from Lents Park.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Mourning the death of a nation today. The next time ANTIFA needs to do a world war, it'll be us who are rightly targeted in order to restore democracy.

Visited Blue Lake Park just off Marine Dr in Gresham, Or yesterday. There were some residents who let me know that I wasn't meeting food supply expectations. Last time I had that criticism was when some 18YO w/pimples "Supervisor" in a call center told me I didn't have high enough customer ratings.

The loss of Starship 7 hits conflicting buttons in my soul. Musk, the idiot rich man who buys other people's ideas and ruins them, showed just how spectacular a fail can be. (JUBILANT) And, mankind's current hope to continue its missions into space just took a huge leap backward. (SAD)

From my walk earlier this week. This beauty of a home was elevated above the cloud line as I climbed the south hills of downtown. Done in an artist's paintbrush style here, it's a gorgeous house overlooking downtown at the Portland State University campus area shown in the 2nd picture.

The best we can hope for is "Sudden Russian Death Syndrome" to thin them out so they lose control.

My walk in Portland today. Today I got off the train at PSU and walked the city itself. The stairs up from I-405 into the clouds were a stairway of Hell. I walked from bottom to top in about a half hour. I'm sore tired this evening! The base the bldgs in Pcture 2 is the level I started at.

What will be your reason for not watching the inauguration? Mine: "I have absolutely no interest in watching a vulgar, incompetent, lying buffoon being celebrated."
