It was a day before which I got a decent sleep. A day in which I exercised well. It was this kind of day. It was a day in which unusual and beautiful yellow birds (goldfinches, I think) appeared to brighten my yard. It was a day in which I got useful writing done. It was a day [...] The cranes pay me a visit by night, and I am duly grateful. So today one of my Twitter friends posted a link to what the Tweet called a Red Admiral Migration. Okay, if you know me (and if you don’t, it may be for the best, on the whole) you already know what I thought: an image popped instantly into my mind of Soviet-era Naval officers trudging across [...] With the advent of my birthday comes a bittersweet time for me. It means summer’s on the wane. On the one hand it means my favorite time of year is at hand: autumn.

Only a fool (and not this one) would state with any [...] - from Great Sky Demons; plus When Purse Dogs Attack! Great Sky Demon hunting near scene of today's attack Got a bit of a late start today; got to sleep about 1 AM, didn’t wake up to stay until almost 11. I’m still a bit drained and catching up. Anyway, I took myself off to VI, ate [...] No, seriously. The day is beautiful. It’s not about the band. Here in this stretch of the Rio Grande Valley, anyway, we’re enjoying a mild winter. A pleasant surprise, inasmuch as most of the rest of the country, and I guess the Northern Hemisphere, is getting slammed by savage cold and snowfall for the second year [...] |
