BirdBrain dropped by around noon with an armful of goodies which included a spinach quiche, many mango mousses and this flower vase which she handed to me as my award for her favorite line of stories, The K-Mart Chronicles. The vase design reminded her of (and, quite frankly if the flowers were cars… .) the […]

Peter’s pics from yesterday. Â Â
While Diane rested her back, I drove to Halibut Point in search of color. As I walked on the granite chunks and tried not to slide into either the ocean or the tide pools, I talked to Peter in Indiana who was traipsing along the Ohio River in sunny sixty degree weather. He enjoyed color, […]

A few months after Mrs rakkity & I moved to Colorado, we started thinking about installing solar panels. Might as well put that 385 days/year (or whatever it is) […]

Tomorrow before sunrise will, strictly speaking, be about 2 days post-conjunction, but it still should be a pretty sight. If you can’t get down low enough in the sky, you might catch the slim crescent moon drifting by orange Antares. Look to the east […]
Michael, On hearing that he is an 8th cousin of Dick Cheney, Barack Obama said, tongue in cheek, “Every family has a black sheep.” Lynne Cheney tells about the relationship. The details of the ancestry were written up in the Bowie Blade News: An interesting side note–the place where Obama’s and Cheney’s common ancestor, Mareen […]
