Jacob’s Ladder
Decorating the Temple
One last sleep with this naked arm. Super excited to celebrate one year of By Her Hand Tattoos with my first piece.

Them Unworthies
I’m focusing on these things today.
I lost my temper with my younger son last night. I yelled and it was scary. Yes, he is pushing me, but I am better than this tantrum behaviour would reveal.
I have an amazing family and many people who love me. That’s not a mistake, but I work to reflect all the love that I receive.
Know Your Master
Biden and Trump agreed with Fauci on initial response, lockdowns, rushing the “vaccines,” and printing money. Trump didn’t fire Fauci. Biden didn’t fire Fauci and went on to sell the same policies and medical interventions. Trump and Biden are both running on the “effectiveness” of so-called vaccines (i.e., therapeutics).
From outside of the two-party mentality, there is no distinction. Entrenched bureaucrats are running the show.
Time to Buy a Gun
Delaware’s governor is about to sign into law permit requirements for purchase of any gun. Besides being unconstitutional and a tax against the vulnerable, similar laws in Maryland have not worked.
From the Washington Post:
However in Maryland, the annual number of murders over the past decade have exceeded the total in 2013, when the state’s permit law was passed. (2014 is the sole year that is an exception.)
This will be a costly program that does no good and will likely be struck down as unconstitutional.
Legislative analysts estimate that the permitting system will cost taxpayers about $3 million in initial implementation costs, and about $5 million annually thereafter, even after elimination of a proposed training voucher program for low-income people.
The Palestinians Are Fucked
The “choice” that will be presented in November is false. Biden and Trump are of one mind when it comes to the slaughter of Palestinian children.
It’s time to consider an alternative to your “I Voted” selfie.
A Quiet Work
While Kristen toils on a big project at By Her Hand Tattoos, I am on the road, running errands and quietly keeping an eye on the phone and email.
Big thanks to Corbit Calloway Memorial Library for providing a cute place for me to sit.
Between duties, I’m thoroughly enjoying Kafka’s Letter to the Father.
Feed Her Fire
This week, Kristen received an assignment that was close to my heart.
The Story of Ferdinand was one of my sons’ favorite books. A new client brought us two of the illustrations to recreate. Kristen’s accuracy in honoring the original drawings is stunning.
Still Trying
It was a long day, mostly on the road. I didn’t want to train. When I did get to the mat, I was tired and distracted.
I did it any way, drills and four messy matches.
Jiu-jitsu continues to be my hardest physical challenge.
