Pist had asked what I wanted to do on my birthday. I mused about Paris and the northwestern coast of France.

Bella Villa
Four years ago I pulled over to take a closer look at a building in Bella Villa. I'd driven past for years and was beguiled.
The buff color brick reminds me of the Art Deco buildings in Miami. It's a compelling home.
I noticed the owner on the lawn and stopped for a chat. She had told me she was putting it on the market shortly for 140K.
It had structural cracks :/
This is located in a small town called Bella Villa which is part of Lemay.
I'm going to post some more photos of the homes in this .... village? The houses are crazy. I kept seeing the same damned yellow arch house with little variation.
The area is 84 acres and has its own cops.
The owner told me this building used to be the town courthouse. The jail was in the basement.
Bella Villa is 83 acres, has its own police department, and a population of 815.

Daddy's House
We walked over to dropped something off and she decided she was staying. Coaxing failed. She turned her head.
I walked halfway down the street and called. Nada. I walked back up to her and she greeted me as if she hadn't seen me in decades.
I'm thinking she'll be with me for another 4 months.

Here's why
For the same reason the orange walks in northern ireland were spectacles of bigotry.
The ruling elite have their pride built into every institution of the society. In the case of america, it's white anglo-saxons.
You don't need to express your pride because you're not the victims of sytemic discrimination. Idiots.
Idiocy is underscored by saying "how come' instead of asking why.

GUILTY
Here's what we learned yesterday: A white cop can intentionally murder someone and not get life in prison.

Sick Day
The Vet kept talking about the tumor on my belly. I kept trying to go to her since she was saying my name!
My Mah'mm explained she calls me Bellie. I'm polite! If you say my name I will approach you as I've been instructed.
The Vet put a needle in my belly.
Maybe I don't like the Vet anymore I don't know.
The scale is a fun thing to ride but I hate the ride there.
I need some nap.

My uncanny and magical Talent
I needed a small vintage light bulb for the base of my Empoli glass lamp. Two days later I found one in the Wild. I love the spot of solder on it!
My thrift mojo never fails me.
Never.
