Three good things:
Authoritarian Serbian leader Aleksandar Vučić ousted.

Just returned home to Arizona after a three-week road trip and was welcomed with this scene about a mile from the house. The big skies and vistas of the American southwest really get into your blood after living here for a while.

It’s a rainy night in Tehachapi. and these two rascals are getting a little stir crazy in the motor home. They both love this chair (which is also my favorite) and for a moment I thought they were going to snuggle up together on it, which would have been a first. The love fest didn’t last long, however. Fortunately the little guy left before it came to blows. We’ll be home in a couple days and I think it can’t come too soon for these two.
