Whether someone is peering at you from upstairs or around the corner.
Or there is a surveillance camera.
Or someone is recording you on their smartphone.
You are never really alone.
And even IF, and that's a big if, that no one person is watching.
Remember that G-d above still sees everything! ;-)

The fat drips and the meat is smoking and juicy hot.
Is it the animal in us or do we just know good food when we see it?
Schwarma or a BBQ, you can taste it!
And it hits the spot right on like nothing else can. ;-)

Meat On A Spit
It had Chucky perched spread-eagle over the front crash bumper.
Imagine looking in your rearview mirror and seeing this barreling down on you.
Chucky rules the road and he's coming for you.
It's too late to run and hide.
He's gonna get you!
Consider yourself dead meat and it's not even Friday the 13th. ;-)

Chucky Rules The Road
Clearly, from the President on down to each and every one of us, we can be certain that none of us is perfect. However, G-d put us here, precisely, to have the opportunity to repair our imperfections. In this earthly world, our soul is tested, and we thereby have the opportunity to come out stronger and better because of it. The challenges in this world provide the "purification by fire" that our souls need to elevate themselves from past mistakes or imperfections. In essence, G-d in his ultimate benevolence — of love, kindness, and giving — bestows on us, His children, the chance to learn and grow and to realize our potential!

Swinging on the swing.
Arms around the other.
There's love between these two.
It's fun to swing together.
Caring and sharing.
Two is always better than one! ;-)

We love it when you stick you nose in our business...
Gee, I sure hope this isn't referring to a manure business. LOL
In short, be careful into what stink you stick you nose in or know when to mind your own business! ;-)

No stinging, please!
Go ahead and pollinate the beautiful flowers.
Then go back to the hive and make us some delicious, sweet honey.

Beautiful blue color and love the inlaid design over it.
Middle eastern style and it's a standout!
There is mystery, eloquence, and even some unapologetic sexiness to it. ;-)

Limit Politicians to 2 Terms:
One in Office.
One in Prison.
Now this doesn't speak very well of our leadership.
What about the one's that have decades in office, and the time is used for their own selfish purposes and not for the people?
Where power and money is the purpose rather than advancing social well-being.
Where personal and party agendas are the playbill rather than doing what is right, plain and simple.
Where scoring points against your adversary or completely taking them down is the strategy rather than reaching out and working hand-in-hand to achieve our nation's greatness.
We have fallen a long way from what I would imagine the founding fathers had in mind for this great democracy.
Perhaps, the biggest problem is that we have stopped even trying. ;-)

Not so subtle though, right?
Man, what a pair of choppers!
I'm brushing. Believe me.
Don't have to show me twice! ;-)

The brilliance of capturing the essence while leaving out the extraneous.
A person is clearly there even though it's just his face.
What is hidden is also revealed.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Yet, I don't miss him, because he's right there.
It looks like he's about to say something! ;-)

Like a newspaper, it's black and white and "read" or actually rode all over.
How much time do you give a bike like this before it gets stolen on the streets downtown?
D.C. seems to be getting even worse than before, now with Coronavirus and the riots.
Doesn't feel safe, and it's in definite need of an urban makeover from all the horrible poverty and homelessness. ;-)

You don't have to be crazy to work here, we'll train you.
Some places they hire the crazies and other they train them to be crazy.
Perhaps, it's a bad culture or some bad applies, but either way they can turn good, caring employees into some more crazies to add to the office's bunch of bananas.
Fortunate is s/he who works in a normal, good workplace and can do "a decent day's work for a decent day's pay." ;-)

My good friend got one and recommended it!
Went to the store today and tried them out.
I was really amazed, especially since I have some significant back pain that I am dealing with.
I am hoping, G-d willing, for some pain relief and some extra Zzz sleep! ;-)

And upon all of Israel

Perfect for enhancing the Shabbat and holidays!
The sunflowers provide warmth and happiness for the honor of these special and spiritual days!
May Hashem in His abundant mercy grant us a full healing and peace to welcome the Shabbat and to celebrate this weekend a joyous Shmini Atzeret and Simchat Torah.
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach! ;-)

Yet it's, perhaps, not as bad as your typical horrible migraine.
Actually, the pressure of a vise-like feeling may actually provide some sort of sick relief.
Migraine headaches can be so incredibly debilitating.
This guy looks like he needs to close the lights and lay down before his head pops!
Consider taking some medication as per your doctor, ice packs also helpful, close your eyes, and say a prayer. ;-)

Dreamy, drifting into the sky.
Flying away with a birds-eye view.
Looking near and far across the landscape.
To the sunrise and the sunset.
Calm, coasting, and carried by the wind.
Fire breathing into the balloon.
Up, up, and away.
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon! ;-)

This was in a woman's clothing/fashion store in the local mall.
There is something really screwed up with people's thinking and our culture.
Even if this lady likes to pet the dog, this is horrible messaging!
We need a serious reset on how to treat women and show them proper respect! ;-)

It’s so important to develop mastery over the whole life sequence: think nice thoughts, speak kind words, do good deeds, and develop positive habits. This is one of the secrets to life itself.
Life is often in the hands of our tongue–one stupid word and it can mean your head, and one smart thing and it can be, with G-d’s help, your ride to the stars!

Last Night with "Sleepy Joe" hit rock bottom!
From BOTH candidates, the lack of coherent answers, coupled with constant interruptions, yelling, put downs, and name-calling was so completely discouraging and disgusting.
Came away feeling like we were at a Mixed Martial Arts tournament rather a Presidential Debate for the United States of America.
What has happened to our great nation?
We are becoming the laughing stock to the entire world.
If we can't conduct ourselves with dignity, courtesy, respect, and integrity towards each other, how can we lead this country, let alone the world?
May G-d help us to find our footing again, to unite around the noble principles and values of freedom, diversity, equality, democracy, capitalism, and human rights for which this country was founded, and change the awful political sinkhole of divisiveness, strife, and sheer indecency that we are caught in. ;-)

I'm surprised they don't make more locks like this with interesting doodads for the base of the lock.
Aside from all sort of faces, you could have places and things.
A lock that looks like Groucho Marx, a Turtle, the Eiffel Tower, or a Heart.
Why not (as long as it keeps things safe)? ;-)

Instead of worrying about accumulating earthly and material treasures: money, houses, cars, exotic travel, and more, we would be well advised to pay attention to our Heavenly treasure that we should be accumulating. Whether tomorrow, when our judgement will be sealed on Yom Kippur or when we, G-d forbid, die and are called for an accounting before our Maker, we should have plenty in the spiritual bank to speak well for us.

Have you been?
They don't even say the words "to Hawaii".
Like Hawaii is just one of those places where you're supposed to read people's minds.
Have you been?
Umm, let me think a moment.
And before you even get a chance to respond further, the other person goes:
Oh, well let me tell you about the time we were in Hawaii and...
Of course, nothing much ever really seems to come after that except something about the wonderful beaches!
Like there aren't nice, exotic beaches anywhere else.
Frankly, it's a little remote anyway, no?
The other thing about Hawaii, of course, is if one of the volcanos starts smoking its angry stack!
Better start playing that little guitar Hula dancer! ;-)

And I got two BIG eyes!
I see you and you're all very cute people.
It's Friday, and I want to wish you all a Shabbat Shalom!
May you have a restful and peaceful Shabbat.
And as we head into Yom Kippur on Monday, may we all be sealed in the Book of Life for a great year ahead for 5781!

For two thousand years, the Jewish people exiled from their land, widely dispersed, and inhumanly persecuted among the nations developed passivity and learned helplessness. They eagerly awaited, year after year, G-d’s salvation and redemption. As a tiny minority attempting to hold firm to their religious beliefs amongst the world’s powerful majorities, the Jews found themselves a convenient scapegoat, suffering landlessness and joblessness, taxation to the point of near-starvation, conscription of their Jewish children for military service of 25-years, forced conversion on pain of torture and death, horrible violent pogroms that sparred no one, and expulsions from country after country. During these times, the Jewish people learned passivity in the hope of not inflaming the hate and anger of the goyim that would make things “even worse!”

As we approach Rosh Hashanah, we know that everything is in the hands of G-d, including life and death, but there is no question that President Trump has been an instrument of the Almighty in delivering genuine and consistent support—recognition, annexation, aid, sanctioning our enemies, fighting BDS, anti-Semitism, and biased resolutions, and the advancement of peace—to Israel and for the Jewish people.
Thank You President Trump For Supporting Israel
