I'm unlikely to ever again catch, bridle, and saddle a horse (but, depending on the horse, probably could, in a pinch).

I love my little iPhone (used abroad as a backup) but the camera is crap compared to my Samsung s25.

Oh, me, too, for this one

What instruments we have agree
The day of his death was a dark cold day.
(Auden in memory of WB Yeats)

Seems like the opening to a pleasant soft porn/erotica short film ;)

It's turning out to be a reliable source of talking for my husband and me! And perhaps will be, with those of the adult kids who are watching, over Christmas.

I used to have a shorter but similar list of versions of Hallelujah. John Cale's is still my favorite.

Once we drove from Austin through OKC, went through Topeka, maybe Des Moines, stayed the night in Madison, skirted Columbus, through Indianapolis and on to our ultimate destination of probably DC. Only sort of on purpose.

Couldn't find a better ending to this or middle or whichever ;)

Red, white and green bursts of fireworks

Fireworks from down near the mosque, Chania, prior to lighting the Christmas tree:

May his memory be a blessing; I'm pretty sure it will be.

The only way I like them is roasted to a crispy, almost black state, then drizzled with honey. The air fryer works great for this.

Skies were blue this morning in Chania, Crete, too

You are correct, I conflated the two.

Exactly! He's played That Guy so many times. I seem to recall that he was sexy and competent in Deep Space 9, though, right?

I'm 73, and I have a clear mental image of the sign which said "colored", and which pointed to around back of the gas station, outside. Somewhere west of San Antonio.

Absolutely stunning sunsets

Golden lights of buildings reflected in the still water of the harbor

Evening in the old Port, Chania, as seen from Έλλη

Bravo! Or probaby, in Greek, μπράβο

Orange and purple sunrise clouds over a dark hillside

Dark pink sunrise over a dark hill with city lights

Two from Chania this morning- same view a few minutes apart

Cocktail and beer on a table with the lights of Old Town Chania across the way.

End of the season (for us, and only 2 nights left for them) at Galileo, our favorite bar/restaurant in the Old Harbor. Our friend Manolis in the dark distance.

There seems to be a little shower, off to the left, towards the end of the clip :)

Heat wave yesterday with an annoying, hot, dry wind which this morning has changed to a cool and quite strong wind. Sunny, though. Not supposed to get into the 80s for the next few days (26ish).

Spike and Dru!

We did this, too, in Greece! Couldn’t find a way to watch for free, but got the Dodgers radio call on ESPN radio starting in around the 14th inning and wow!

(American ex-pat in Greece, whispers: what a great game it was, too!)
