Dedicated to the one I love, my wife, family, friends, and those who are reading #CityImages - A daily dedication.

To be loved. It can be abstract. It can be the act of snuggling. Saying the words “I love you.” Or knowing they’re felt. It’s about showing up and comforting people. Or allowing them to help themselves.

But even when we have loving relationships, we can get so familiar with them that we forget to notice. Allow for some enchantment and fondness. Small still matters.

Meanwhile, Meta already appears to hold the rights to 'X.' It could make Twitter's rebrand complicated.

The film  "Barbie" claimed the top spot at the box office, becoming the biggest opening of the year. America, you must be kidding.

What’s wrong with these images? What’s pink, explosive, and has a combined run-time of 4 hours and 54 minutes? It’s none other than the Hollywood odd-couple cinematic event that has been sweeping the nation: Barbenheimer. But seriously folks!!!

It’s any person engaged in books, articles, stories, etc., especially as an occupation or profession; an author or a journalist.

The Six Traits of writing are Voice, Ideas, Presentation, Conventions, Organization, Word Choice, and Sentence Fluency

Why does a criminal, liar, and creep say climate change is a hoax, and COVID will disappear, He should get locked up for life.

Every one of us loses if we listen and believe a big fat old criminal, liar, and criminal who cares about himself and no one else.

Devious people are extremely dishonest, in a sick dangerous way, and can never be trusted. They are the real enemy of every one of us living on our planet.
