"Fire Breathing Chimera Wig on Dazed Puppet" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

Today's random word that popped into my head for no reason: VERDANT
According to an online version of The American Heritage Dictionary, here's what that word means/suggests:
"Green with vegetation; covered with green growth.
Green in hue.
Lacking experience or sophistication; naive."
Why do words just ARRIVE in a person's brain, particularly a FOOLISH brain? What's the connection between today's drive and the word "verdant?" I saw some new growth on some of the trees I passed on the drive to taking the granddaughter to school... Also, I lack experience and sophistication... All I know is that I don't know nothin'...

I hope you enjoyed today's POINTLESS WISDOM episode. Maybe I'll do it again some day!

I VOTED!!!! This particular ballot, here in the lower reaches of Washington State, only had ONE issue on it: SCHOOL FUNDING. If you're going to vote for ANYTHING, it should be EDUCATING KIDS, so they don't grow up not knowing how to live their lives... Vote or be destroyed!

In other news, I wash my hands so often that my knuckles look like I've been preparing for a boxing career by punching telephone poles... Bloody knuckles because of water and soap... FREAKY!

Another song, just because!

"Casual Chat" [Audio!!!] by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Audio recorded in a free app on my phone. Image is liner pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color zeroing...] Get to know who I THINK I am. Can you tell when I'm lying in this audio clip??? (I can't!) The phrase, "Let's Go to the Window!" comes from the fun YoooTooob channel, "Jillian and Addie!" (I watch it with my granddaughter, sometimes...) https://www.youtube.com/@BabyteethMore
Have fun!!! (OR BE DESTROYED!!!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Too Happy Demon Egg" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, brush pen, and paint pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] "Art is subjective, if that wasn't obvious," said the Demon Egg. And that's how he earned his M.A.! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Beast of Weirdness Flats" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing, digital collage, layers, and the spirit of PLAN 9 - or so they say!] For some reason, this weird digital artwork seems to be silent, but I think there's a freaky, implied narrator (from another dimension) who keeps talking over the art... Odd... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

There is a strange entity waiting for us to mature. ("Ripen," some might say!) Space monsters and abstract wiggles...

"Radical Reading Circle" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, gel pen, and brush pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color tweaking...] They are SUBVERSIVE!!! What makes them so subversive? They read BOOKS! Just step back, STEP BACK!!!, slowly, and they probably won't hurt you... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
