Why do right-wingers hate Kamala and Michelle so much?
While I believe Joe Biden is going to be an outstanding president, I’m actually more excited about Kamala Harris as America’s first woman vice president. She was the candidate I wanted and donated to at the very beginning of the primaries. As someone who has traveled the world and speaks at colleges about how people […]
The logger dog
Marty’s photo of the day #3424: Dogs are masters of routines. Nellie is just a year old, but she has every routine down, including that we go for a walk at five o’clock each night (her ability to tell time is uncanny). Our walks are generally around the perimeter of the land Deb and I […]
Lost in Spain
Marty’s photo of the day #3423: When Americans visit Spain, the vast majority stick to the touristy areas. When Deb and I went to Spain as part of the travels for my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, we made it a point to go to out-of-the-way places, where tourists don’t […]
A normal White House
Marty’s photo of the day #3422: When I took this photo, President Obama lived here. No one was hate-tweeting on the toilet, no one was being tear-gassed, and the White House was not surrounded by a non-scalable fence. The next few months are going to be like none we’ve ever seen before, but on January […]
A big kitty nap
Marty’s photo of the day #3421: For everyone who has been losing sleep this week, here’s a nice kitty, enjoying a nap. (Jaguar, photographed in Belize)
What I saw last night
Marty’s photo of the day #3420: I couldn’t sleep last night, so I decided to be productive and take a picture of the inside of my eyelid. Considering that I stared at my eyelid the entire time I was in bed, it was obviously a captivating sight. And it pretty much stayed the same whether […]
Come on America!
Marty’s photo of the day #3419: Today, we have a message from Martyman: “Come on America! You know what you have to do! And don’t forget to do the same to all the Republican senators who blindly supported the fascist turd.”
Send in your 2021 Obamacare application in now!
My wife and I love Obamacare (ACA). For self-employed people like us, it’s really the only way to go. Because Republicans are determined to take Obamacare away from millions (in a pandemic!) and are using a Supreme Court hearing later this month to do so, I didn’t waste any time and completed my application for […]
White-faced capuchin
Marty’s photo of the day #3418: White-faced capuchins aren’t the most beautiful monkeys in the world, but being able to spend any time with any monkey in the wild is a privilege. Photographed in Costa Rica.
The Giant Murder Moth of Borneo
Marty’s photo of the day #3417: This is the Giant Murder Moth of Borneo. These huge venomous moths are resistant to all known pesticides and have been known to kill and devour small children. They also frequently attack adult humans as they sleep—laying eggs in their victim’s ears and using their long proboscis to suck […]
Trump is worse than a venomous snake bite
Marty’s photo of the day #3416: For Halloween, I searched my photos to come up with something scary to post. I really don’t find any animals all that scary, but this cottonmouth I photographed in the Everglades was as close as I could get. In truth, right now the only thing that scares me is […]

One more before moving on
Marty’s photo of the day #3412: I don’t remember if I made this photo in northern Arizona or southern Utah, but it’s one final scenic shot from my “Don’t Get COVID-19 and Die Tour” before I move on to another subject.
The Don’t Get COVID-19 and Die Tour concludes with a near disaster
Marty’s photo of the day #3411: Yesterday, I made it home from my six-day, “Don’t Get COVID-19 and Die Tour”—but barely. If you’ve been following my posts, you know that I drove a rental van for the tour, because in addition to performing Around the World in 90 Minutes at Eastern Arizona College, I also […]
On the road again!
Marty’s photo of the day #3410: Today is day #6 of my 2,600-mile “Don’t Get COVID-19 and Die Tour.” The snowstorm has passed, and now I’m going to attempt to make it the last 150 miles (from Dillon, MT to Victor, MT). Well, actually, that’s now 225 miles, because I checked the webcam at the […]
Stopped by a blizzard
I just added an extra day to my “Don’t Get COVID-19 and Die Tour.” If you saw my post this morning, you know I was attempting to drive from Price, Utah to home in Victor, Montana today. My wife and some Facebook friends in Montana all warned me not to try it, because of the […]
Picnicking under windmills
Marty’s photo(s) of the day #3409: Today is day #5 of my 2,600-mile roundtrip “Don’t Get COVID-19 and Die Tour.” I hope to reach home tonight, but that all depends on the snowstorm. My rental van has typical rental car tires, and the back is loaded with my late mother’s belongings. An accident with all […]
