Although you can't see it, Santa is actually on the sail of a boat, so he was using two forms of transportation in the full image that I found.

Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

This week's Our Midweek Muse theme was "Illustrate A Song".

Note: song title is I'm Good, but I focused on some of the lyrics within it (see below), which drove the title of my art piece (no pun intended).

Baby, I'ma have the best freakin' night of my life
And wherever it takes me, I'm down for the ride
Middle of the floor, that's where I'll be
No, I don't care no more, care no more
No, baby, nothing's gonna stop us tonight

"GM Bolt" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved

(Click on image to enlarge)

Back in 2008, General Motors (GM) was one of the companies deemed "too big to fail" by the US Government. Other companies weren't as fortunate to receive American Tax Payer money handed to them by our "representatives", to bail them out of their economic hardships.

-----

Anyone planning on attending the "Justice for J6" rally in Washington, DC on Saturday, September 18, 2021 is advised against driving a GM Bolt into the general area that day. Unnamed sources at the [redacted Government agency name] said LEOs may treat the occupants of the vehicle as terrorists attempting to bring a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) to the rally, due to the 50 feet safety radius that is now recommended, by the vehicle's manufacturer, GM, when parking the vehicle. Those same unnamed sources also said that Ford Pinto owners may be treated as "misinformation" spreaders if they don't leave past history in the past.

-----

My piece is a "cartoon" in the same vein as Charlie Hebdo cartoons. (Their "cartoon" offended me, but apparently some thought it was "funny" so, I too, can make cartoons that others might find offensive.) My satirical words in this post and my art piece are also free speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (Well, it used to be, prior to the ascension of the US Government Ministry of Truth dictating to Social Media Platforms which of their users need to be banned for "misinformation" as defined by the Government.)

Dog In Car Driver Seat - Photograph

I took these photographs in the local Connecticut area this past week.

This dog caught my eye, because it looked like he/she was sitting in the driver's seat of this vehicle, ready to use the steering wheel to go for a drive somewhere. The vehicle was parked and the dog was observing the nearby activity. But I must have been in his/her peripheral vision, because then he/she turned to look at me looking at him/her (with my camera). The dog's owner was actually seated in the vehicle, too, but from my initial angle, that wasn't apparent (but I assumed it had to be the case).

Wild red horses took me across the border, and I lived to tell the tale. I'll admit, I got scared when I saw some blue horses starting to move, but I guess I didn't cross their magic line. Their search is still fruitless. Oh where, oh where could it be?
