No rain on my side of the T Basin, but the hummingbirds are still around. Talked with local friends this week, bad health news in their families, but heard that the Ollies chain has hired a son to be a manager at an unknown location. Job market is brutal these days, so good to hear that

New Mexico got its first snow of the year! At Red River at the northern most part of the state. So maybe Autumn is actually almost here, at last.

I have not read any of Politico before they were recommended today. So obviously I can't make a personal pitch for them; but I would guess they and the two cable - internet stations are getting massive new viewers today.

Thrift store find. A real record album of four 78s issued in 1944. Still in print as a CD. He played with Jimmie Rodgers and Bing Crosby and was influential in spreading the steel guitar

I actually had a job where, among other things, I helped people come up with short term goals and ways to achieve them. And one important thing is to realize that goals must be flexable. Because Life has a way of not living up to expectations

25 years ago, I was at staffing starting 8:30 AM EDT and the boss comes in, asking if we knew anything. We didn't,and had no TV nor radio. The internet was new enough that I was the only one to know how to go online. Online didn't know anything either. This is the biggest thing, no one knew anything

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

Slowly making it through The Iliad. It is of course, a long war poem; with multitudes of what one expects from war. What I didn't expect was the naming of those who die, with the names of their father and many times comments about them, both Greek and Trojan. A real humanization of battle.

I’m always happy for an excuse to bring out one of my few good Belted Kingfisher photos. It’s #KingfisherQuest for #BirdOfTheDay! I was able to sneak around like a spy in an action movie to get this shot from behind a pile of lumber. #birds 🌿

So for the next two years, every Federal building, military base, airports, bodies of water, and even holidays just need to be renamed Trump. To lessen confusion, we can number them if necessary. So next week, we can all say "Happy Trump Day 7." Why not - we're heading that way anyway.

The purple sage in my back yard had a visitor (seen and photo taken by someone at the neighbor's) I came out a few minutes later, and the fox jumped on the wall and ran down the wall to the steps down to the alley, missing me as I went down those steps. Smart fox.

Currently asked to name a favorite film from a specific pivotal year in ones life. Then I would have said Silent Running a SF Ecology film, with Bruce Dern. Theme was saving earth soil and plants for a future planet. And it had cute robots. I now say 1776, as I need a lot more singing and dancing.

If you think photographing birds in flight is difficult, you want to try moths!😅 This is a wonderful Hummingbird Hawkmoth, photographed yesterday from my bedroom window, just as it banked around to change direction!😀😍 Just look at that proboscis 🦋 (The moth looks a bit like a fish doesn't it!)😁
