Looking bleak today.

Hi stargzr .....  I love The Late Show ...... daughter downloads it so we can watch it on Saturday night.  I love the fact that Finland's president didn't back up his lies.  We know all politicians tell lies but Trump tells such blatant whoppers that can easily be debunked.

Ladies and gentlemen.........behold the words of our beloved president.  :(

There was also an article about him saying he'd pointed out in his book in 2000 that Osama Bin Laden was a bad man.  Turns out that was a lie.   He just can't tell the truth about anything.

I think I might adopt "oh my stars and garters!"   LOL!!!

Kinda leaves one speechless.  (too bad HE wasn't)  As my Grandma used to say, "oh my stars and garters" !!!

Hi stargzr ......  shows how much he cares.  I often think he has dementia or altzheimer disease ..... coupled with delusions of grandeur and a bunch of temper tantrums.  He must be paying Melania a fortune or  ...................  she knows where the bodies are buried.   :D

Why do they even let him out in public ??????

The whole Bay Area is unable to breathe good air.

Hi Stargzr ..... that's a good link.  All of the pictures can be enlarged.  I've just been studying what that container ship is transporting!

It's just so sad about the fires.  Awful.

Unbelievable.  Beautiful San Francisco and the Bay area covered in smoke.

So frightening for the people who live there.

It is horrible!  One would think the fire season to be over, but those Santa Ana winds are definitely present and causing havoc to So. Calif.

This is awful:

I wish I could send you some rain. It's so bad now that I can't even see the opposite hill.  I'm not complaining. I spent ages yesterday looking at the conditions in Texas. But of the 2 ..... fire or flood ..... I think fire is the worst. I hope they manage to get a bit of control over it but it seems that the fires must be merging into each other.
