Here’s mine. Would you believe I went looking for 1 thing? Ah well. I made the whole circuit.

I wanted something tweed from a shop in Edinburgh so I bought this handbag because I couldn’t afford a coat.

Wow! I enjoyed them at the ball park. They were loud there, but I had no idea how loud.

I planned to come, but I’ve been hit with a bug of some kind. Channel my hands please. In the meantime here is a photo of me & some friends at the Kennedy Center on December 30, 2024. That lobby is magnificent.

It takes research to drive an EV some distance, but there are solutions. Of course, Trump 2 is making in harder by canceling support for sustainable energy programs. BTW, I recently returned from Iceland where charging stations are all over the place.

We couldn’t see the sun for the eclipse in Stykkishólmur Iceland, but the sky got totally dark, the seabirds went to ground, then a bright light in the west. The birds started squawking, & the people cheered. No diamond ring but a cool experience nonetheless.

I’m going to bed soon so I can be up bright & early for the eclipse. The forecast is terrible, so please send your good thoughts to the weather gods for the clouds to part in time. ☀️ Here’s a photo of a rainbow we saw this evening.
