Pearl the Wonder Weim

We rescued Pearl 10 years ago. Truth be told, she rescued @jenniduncan and me from a deep funk. Pearly Girl crossed over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday afternoon. She loved us and loved our people. She kept me company every day and made sure she spent time with both of us in our chairs in the evenings.

Pearl loved a car ride or to travel and spend the night in a hotel room. I think her fav thing besides eating was to snuggle one of us. She was a “velcro” dog for sure. We think her first few years of life were tough. Hopefully, the last 10 were everything she needed. Goodnight Pearly Girl…


Loved hearing @honza_galla from @azubrecumbents tell us about his cycle touring adventures for the past nearly 30 years. Sounded very cool, except for all the flat tires!

The Authoritaian Creep panel with @josie_chooselove @agnes_callamard.emc64 @misanharriman and @dfdubz was thoughtful and kind of sad, but they all brought us in with their optimism for the future.

Already apparent to me, it is clear that almost all the problems in the world today are the result of middle-aged/older, str8 white males. Too much hubris, and not nearly enough thoughtfulness, learning, empathy. I am this demo so I get to say it!

I’m too tried to edit and post the 100 or more murals and street art photos I’ve taken this week. @sxswlondon started today. Amazing stories of creativity, human suffering and empathy and some real super world citizens who give people hope.

Sweltering heat, no AC in the hotel, fans blowing hot air and they are “super generous” with their ice cubes🤣 … Also, overheard the breakfast staff discussing if they should buy their own AC for the workplace. Do better @fourpoints!

Thanks to @giulia_blocal_riva , @street_art_city_guides and @giannotti_paolo for the stop at @gods.ownjunkyard ! This had been on my “wanna visit list” for a couple of years. Next time I visit, I’ll make an afternoon of it hanging out there!

Things That Make You Go Hmm… They sure didn’t want anyone to steal their car! Seemed like a nice area. Look closely and you will see their steering wheel is locked up too.
