My dad was a sergeant with the Connecticut National Guard, my mom was a public school teacher and I was 6. My dad arrested my mom off to his Guard Base that had been turned into a prison.

when at home I am still trying to get a single mouse and keyboard to "FLOW" across the different OS's, but Logi software is not working on my setup currently

A few pics from today's hike and a few rocks that may have fallen into a pocket somehow

I tried to push my cell phone as far as I could for some sky pics. Google Pixel 8 Pro 2 2x telephoto lens, 50MP internal camera set to 2x night mode on a MSM star tracker, zoomed, cropped and color corrected. Please click and zoom in on them if you have time to see better details.

It is in DeSoto State Park, just down the road from the house.

Got a nice hike in today, water is finally flowing again in places.
