The image captures a serene landscape at sunrise or sunset. The sky is a gradient of warm yellow and orange hues, creating a tranquil atmosphere. In the foreground, bare tree branches are silhouetted against the sky, adding depth to the scene. The midground features a collection of buildings, emitting thin plumes of smoke that rise gently into the air. These structures are surrounded by snow-covered ground and sparse forested areas. In the distance, the sun is partially hidden behind a series of layered clouds, casting a soft glow and accentuating the tranquil composition of the horizon.

I remember it being unpleasant & a lot less fudge-y.

I found a ‘dead’ person on Social Security in Seattle “Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

Today we said goodbye to Sam. 2009-2025
Sam delighted in fresh air from an open window & the small patch of sunlight that would slowly slide across the floor. He demanded scritches while eating. We absolutely loved him every. single. day. Our lives were made better by Sam sharing his with us.

Darkness is not the absence of light but the prelude to it. Every struggle is a step toward clarity. Trust the process; your illumination is near.

The worrying over the cost of eggs and gas should never be more than the cost of your civility and humanity…

Here's a little tip I learned some years ago. If you can take a photo of Orion, try to get the image out of focus like I did just now. You can really see why Betelguise (top left) is such a well known red giant star. #astronomy #astrophotography
