T Stands For From The Archives

I want to begin today by explaining what is going on in my world right now.  First, I am NOT political.  This is an art and sewing blog, not a political one.  However, sometimes I can't sit quietly while others are speaking up.  Some of you who live in the states may have heard that the mayor in my city had death threats against him because he initiated a mandate that everyone over the age of five must wear a mask in public.  This threat was apparently as serious as the one taken to abduct and murder Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the democratic governor of Michigan.

A man who planned to kidnap and kill Wichita's mayor Brandon Whipple because he was upset with the city's mask ordinance was charged Tuesday with three counts of criminal threat.  Apparently this was a well thought out plan that now has Whipple's home under surveillance.  Whipple and his family have also been provided protection.

Although the city of Wichita requires masks, the county (which includes small towns outside Wichita) does not require masks.  The county officials voted to NOT require masks, but suggest they should be used.  I assure you, I live in the city and am glad I have Mayor Whipple looking out for my welfare. 

I never go outside, even to check my mail unless I'm wearing a mask and disposable gloves.  Call me paranoid if you will, but don't call me dead.  I plan to be here on November 4, because if I were to die before the 3rd, my vote wouldn't count.  And I certainly plan for my vote to count, even if we are not a swing state.  Now let's join the T Tuesday archives.

This archived post goes back so far, I don't even remember where we were.

Wherever it was, I was the designated driver, because Sally was drinking a beer.   Upon closer inspection, I believe we were at Merle's, a restaurant we frequent when Sally wants a beer. 

Sally had some kind of salad.  She normally gets either chicken or tuna salad and a pickle.  I'm not sure what I had, except everything 

was swimming in the dressing from the pasta salad I ordered.  I'm sure my poor memory and possibly soggy food is why these photos were archived.

Now it's your turn to share your T entry this week.  The rules are extremely simple.  Your drink related post may be anything from a photo of a glass, cup, or mug, to an actual drink.  You may choose to share a sketch or a digital, hybrid, or traditional page in your scrapbook, art journal, or altered book.  Maybe you'd prefer to share a tag, or wow us with your photography.  You might choose a postcard, decorated card, or magazine image.  You might even draw an image on a used tea bag.  Or perhaps you prefer to review a place you visited, a movie, or book.  It makes no difference as long as it's drink related.  And don't forget that the more unique and outside the box it is, the better we like it.  Please tie it back here, and please link only to your T post, not your entire blog.  When you link, Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit.   Bleubeard would also like to remind you that your photos may be taken any time, even months or years ago, if you choose.



Before I forget, I want to remind everyone to be digging up your Second on the 2nd posts.  Please remember, the only requirement is it must have been published previously on your blog.  Also don't forget that Art Every Day Month, or AEDM starts on the first, too.  Hope to see a few of you join me.
