The new 'Gordie Howe' international bridge spanning the Detroit River between Detroit (USA) and Windsor (Canada) opened today. A Model T was one of the first vehicles to cross the bridge. How Appropriate! #GordieHoweBridge

First ice flow of the season. I'm not ready for winter.

Here we go again. These shootings happen because Congress has decided every crazy SOB in the United States has the right to own a gun. Gun background checks are a joke, they obviously don't stop the mentally ill people from purchasing a weapon.

If you live anywhere near Denver CO and you are interested in Astronomy, I highly recommend you visit the Chamberlin Observatory, run by the Denver Astronomical Society. When I lived in Denver I went several times a year. You will love the view... I guarantee it! www.denverastro.org/who-we-are/c...

I saw the Canadian Snowbirds in 1993 at the Denver International Airport Grand-Opening Air show. They were every bit as talented and dedicated as America's Thunderbird's and Blue Angels. Very precise in their maneuvers. My pic was taken with film, so it looks a little grainy enlarged.

Today I saw a Fawn wading through the water. Two years ago I saw an adult Deer in these same waters (circled, pic 2). Maybe it's a family trait, because it's the only time I've seen deer wading in a Lagoon. (Sorry about the quality of the images, they were off in the distance)

The nice thing about Red Rocks is, the acoustics are incredible and even the last seat has a good view.

The way things are going, it's just a matter of time.
The Trump White House has been converted to a Hotel, Casino, Golf Course. The White House entrance pillars have been 'gold' plated and there is a giant chandelier hanging at the entrance to the building.

Trees can often be destroyed by lightning strikes. When lightning hits a tree, it usually travels just below the tree's bark where there is a layer of sap and water. This layer becomes instantly heated and expands causing the bark to be blasted off the tree and sometimes splitting the wood.
A large tree is split down-the-middle due to lightning from a short summer storm near Fairplay, Colorado (2001). A ranchers rustic property fence is in the foreground with Rocky Mountains snow-topped peaks in the background.

Trump wants to privatize the Post Office. For the last three months shipments have been INTENTIONALLY REDIRECTED, delaying shipments to give the impression that the Post office is dysfunctional I live 8 miles from Detroit, why go to Chicago? This order will take 3-4 days minimum to travel 8 miles

Squirrel's have known about this solution for years. As far as I can tell, the only drawback is, crossing the street may become dangerous for you. 😁
