I don't think I've told anyone here this yet, but here's my recent big accomplishment. This photo I shot in Tucson, AZ was just licensed to be in an upcoming National Geographic book. Doesn't feel like a big deal, but I know that it is. Doesn't seem real.

Packing up the house tonight. We've lived here for almost 10 years, and #Seattle has become uninhabitable in the last two years. Moving our life and business to where homelessness and drugs are still illegal. Tired of armed neighborhood guard duty when I need to get some sleep.

That was fun. Someone shot up our home an hour ago and my neighbors car that was parked next to mine. There were a bunch of 9mm shell casings on the ground about 15-20 feet from where my youngest son was doing his online schoolwork. If that's not a sign, I don't know what is.

@ErinElmore When I lived in Seattle, I was openly scoffed at for holding doors open for women by the women I was holding the door open for. As a Southerner, it feels deeply wrong, rude and unmanly not to do this.

@SaveYourSons Never eat a food that has a TV commercial. That's been my motto for two decades. Also, only buy from the perimeter of the grocery store: meats, veggies, dairy. The worst stuff is in the shelves in the middle.

Yesterday my boy and I watched the classic 1983 film, "Fire and Ice". I normally can't stand watching TV or movies, but I made an exception for this one, mainly because Frank Frazetta and Ralph Bakshi were involved. Still amazing! Very aesthetically pleasing.

@FoxNews Here's what I think. All the real females should show up to the event, stand at the starting line, and when it comes time to compete, refuse. Hell, even take a knee. Let the dude compete in the race, swim, etc all alone while the rest of the athletes actively not participate.
