This was the deep red-orange sunset through a scratched up plane window the night I flew home after saying a final goodbye to a friend of my heart, one of the best people I have ever known.

Here's my forecast of where the Trump tariff war will end up: He'll negotiate outcomes that are basically identical to the very low (and often zero) tariffs we already have. And declare that he's managed to negotiate low tariffs. Perhaps a political win, but definitely no economic gain.

Ok, I’m on board with the all caps for this one. Smdh.

First snow clinging to tree branches against a white-blue sky.

Fiery sunset sky in Jasper, 2023.

Sky whether you look up or down.

Just a bit of sky. From a day that was better than today.

I cannot like this post because doom.

Last bit of a sunset, through a pocked/dirty plane window.

I’m more of a follower than a poster but I might sometimes post a sky.

So true. One of the times I laughed the hardest in my life was when I saw David Sedaris. Another of the times I laughed the hardest in my life was when I read his masterful Holidays on Ice. ‘Tis almost the season to reread that one again…
