THANK YOU.

I've struggled with reading PDF copies of Hugo nominated work on my Kindle when they don't provide an .epub. This is going to make my reading considerably more enjoyable.

Seven Storms in Nine Days Reflections on a storm chasing adventure.

I went on a nine-day storm-chasing trip with the College of DuPage meteorology program. I may have been bitten by the bug. Here's a little writeup about my experience.

Saw a tornado in western Nebraska today! While it was vortexing, I was too busy geeking out to get a photo, but I did snap this lighting from the same storm.

Beautiful storm chase in the west Texas panhandle yesterday. We saw a few tornadoes try to drop. They never got it done, but the clouds were beautiful and so are the mesa lands.

Stopped in Greensburg, KS at the memorial for the EF-5 that nearly destroyed the town in 2007.

On the way into town, we saw crumpled containers and overturned train cars from the EF-3 that just missed the town a few weeks ago.

It's maddening that after centuries of falsely claiming that women are too emotional to hold power, the two most powerful men in the US are definitively proving that claim wrong & some are still pushing misogyny by saying "The girls are fighting."
Give it up already. Men are fighting like always.

It's good to know that humans still have an edge somewhere.

"Fire football", a football game with flaming ball, can be found in various regions in Indonesia as a popular game during Ramadan or Islamic New Year.

It has various meanings: an entertainment, a symbol of perseverance and fortitude, and a tool unite the community. 1/2

Two young orange cats trying to meld into one another and become one single cat.

My life is good, but I don't think any human it better than these creamsicle cat brothers snuggling every morning in their favorite sunbeam.

Sun's out, buns out. I met quite a few furry critters on my hike at Edgewood Preserve this morning. Unfortunately they got scared as I walked by. It's difficult to exist near rabbits without scaring them.

The World As It Could Be When a work of fiction makes me think, I wouldn’t make this choice in this situation, but I understand why this character does, I always feel like I’ve experienced magic.

One of my favorite aspects of existence is how when you pay really close attention to almost anything, it unfurls out before you with complexity you never imagined.

My current fixation is tornadic supercells.
