Better luck today! I voted early, in person. (Last week, the nice lady said,"Come back next week, when you can actually vote.") #Vote2026
An I Voted Today sticker, received along with my ballot this morning for early voting.

I considered flying it upside down, but decided, no matter how bad it seems in the moment, things will improve. I hope to live so long.

In honor of Veterans. Thank you! A bit breezy this morning, but the flurries seem to be remarkable only in their absence. Everyone should have the best day they can!

Happy early #Caturday! If you ever wondered how a cat (and I assume other mammals like #Dog) drink their water, here's a brief excerpt from a 6 minute video for your amusement, delight and edification. #Cat @CatsofBlueSky #digitalphoto #YearsAgo #NoOxfordComma

Happy #Caturday! What do you mean, you use this to watch TV? It's my heated bed to sleep on. (You should have seen the cat hair inside when it gave up the ghost and we had to replace it.) #Cat @CatsofBlueSky #digitalphoto #YearsAgo
A black and white cat sleeping soundly (well, with an eye peeking) atop a TV set-top box. This is from 2019. Luigi (bless her feline heart) has long since gone to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm for Felines. Photo taken on my iPhone. No post-processing save size reduction.

It's #Caturday isn't it? Luigi comes back from the deep archives to be remembered as an adventuring cat, who has great disdain for those who question her actions. Especially in a paper bag! I hope you're as happy as your circumstances allow.
From 2015, a grey, black and white cat peers (sneers, perhaps) out of a Macy's Christmas shopping bag lying on its side,

Happy #Caturday! Luigi in front of TV I didn't think the game was all that good (as I recall), but... Enjoy your day as well as you can. #Cat @CatsofBlueSky #digitalphoto #YearsAgo
Luigi, a black and white cat, apparently engrossed in the TV image of an on-going soccer game. Hard to say more; this is from 2015. Luigi (bless her feline heart) has long since gone to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm for Felines. Photo taken on my iPhone 4S. No post-processing save reduce size.

A photo from long ago (1961 or 2), for old airplane buffs (either fond of old airplanes or those as saw them when they were new) #analogphoto Orig shot on 35mm, image cropped and color adjusted and cleaned slightly. See the ALT text for more details. #photography
Two TWA Constellations at (I think) Philadelphia Airport in 1961 or 62. I was there as a Navy recruit going to San Diego RTC (1961) or flying to New York for an onward flight to Naples to report to duty assignment with NATO (1962)
Front one, just starting the outboard engine, is a Constellation, while behind it is a Super G Constellation.

From our visit in Oct 2018, three photos.
An informative sign announcing Fallingwater, provided by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, declaring Fallingwater a Commonwealth treasure.An artistic entry sign to Fallingwater, in Pennsylvania. An engraved rock standing vertically before an evergreen, with the engraving highlighted in gold.A view of Fallingwater out over Bear Run, a tributary of the Youghiogheny River on its way to the Monongahela River in Pennsylvania. The house was built by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1936-7. This is only the portion over the waterfall; it is a three-story building. Photo from Oct. 2018.

Observed on my walk last Friday. A lilac, I think. Enjoy and happy June to you. #walkbyphotography #bloomscroll #naturephotography #iphonephoto
A lilac bush (I think) in bloom late May, 2025. It is ten to twelve feet (3.3 to 4 meters) high and covered in light purple flowers six inches (15 cm) across.

Busy today. A spider came to watch as I flew the flag this morning. (He She It) had little to say. I'm grateful. See Alt Text. #MemorialDay #DumpTrump #ArachnidsofBlueSky #NaturePhotography #PhonePhotography
A spider (sorry, I'm not able to identify it beyond eight-legged) on the garage door frame, ignoring my attempts to fly the flag. Since there's nothing to give scale, from end of long leg to end of long leg is about 2 and a half inches (6 or 7 cm).

A pleasant #MemorialDay however you spend it. A little late getting it up, but the flag police were kind today. #DumpTrump #RememberWhyTheyDied #NoKings
A US Flag flying outside the garage of a grey house. A slight breeze ruffles the flag.
