Art, riddles and new cups for old

Yesterday brought interesting packages I'd forgotten ordering. 

Here's a salute to the environment and to Black owned business. Bamboo tp, no trees felled to make it,  withdrawing my shopping from the white owned tree felling companies.

They're very well run, organized,  and shipped fast. So I'm giving them a shout out. 

It's not enough to boycott the white owned businesses abandoning DEIA. We need to look for business run by the people they're hurting, and build them up. This too is resistance.

And the vintage cups I ordered, matching my plates, arrived. Amazing packing

Second Joy on Etsy is the seller and I'm really pleased with them.  They're posing here with the plate to prove they're related.

This was a little indulgence,  since I rarely buy anything that's not a vital need.  I wonder if there's a teapot in this design out there..

Then to put everyone out of their riddle misery, the answer is:

The man referred to by the speaker is his son. 

After someone mentioned going online to find the answer I thought I'd see what was there. Wow! Heated debates, many weird conclusions, a lack of reading for comprehension, an insistence that it was about theology, it was hilarious. People get so serious.

I can explain if you want a roadmap. 

And accidental art down the street after a rainstorm

Simple people, swept up in the winds of change, one minute sitting chatting, the next struggling to survive the hurricane. Artist: M. Nature.

Happy day everyone, raining again today. The hammering you hear is Gary building a neighborhood ark.
