Last year, following the one freezing rain storm that we’d received, I went out and did the above shot because the conditions were right, and I suddenly thought, Hey – I should revisit that in these conditions, and so I took my mug out to the top of the same grill and did

Guten tag
I like this title, because if you try to pronounce it correctly, you’re mispronouncing it. Which is because it’s time (finally!) for the annual tag roundup! Tags are those little reference words at the bottom of the post to help you know what the content is and save you the trouble of actually reading the post, unless you have a poster of a certain nature, in which case they
At least I’m good at it
Why is it the holidays all come bunching up together? Isn’t someone smart enough to pick parts of the month or year lacking holidays, and fill in the gaps?
But I’m as much a slave to it as any other nature & wildlife, critical-thinking, 80s music blogger, and so we take the time to recognize that it’s Question The Value Of One’s Own Judgment Day, not
Ticking away
I’m sitting here reflecting on perspectives, somehow believing that something profound will be produced by it and yet not really finding anything that isn’t trite, and the reason for this is, this marks the end of the seventeenth year of the old blogoblob. Reaching the age of seventeen, personally I mean, seemed interminable, and now I’ve been posting for that
The technically challenged
Several days back I resolved to post the below image again today but, you know, didn’t bother to set it up ahead of time and schedule the post or anything. So now with just over two hours remaining I suddenly remember it, but at least I’m not late late.
Once again, Happy Holidays, Season’s Greetings, und so weiter.
Now I gotta get on tomorrow’s post…
Over to others
I’ve been busy as all-git-out recently, no time for much of anything else, especially blog-related, so I’m doing a quick hand-off to a couple of videos that fit well.
First off we have George Hrab, he of The Geologic Podcast over there on the sidebar or indeed right here, with, “I Don’t Believe in christmas,”
Pro tip 1
Is this going to be an ongoing thing? Don’t know yet. And bear in mind, when I say, “Pro,” I’m referring to myself here, who is decidedly not a professional, is not making any kind of scratch with this, and should not be referred to as an authority on anything…
That out of the way, here’s the tip:
If you’re planning on recording audio in your basement studio,
Estate Find XLVIII (IIL)
Sure, fine, this isn’t really in the spirit of the Estate Find posts, it doesn’t count much as a ‘find’ if I actively searched for it, and certainly wasn’t found here (“Oh, look what I just found in the mailbox!”) but need I remind you that it’s my blog that only I read anyway? Okay then.
But yes, I finally obtained something that I
Tastebuds are anxious
I don’t have to tell you that today is Harvest The First Of The Citrus From The Greenhouse Day, because I’m sure you’re already deeply involved in this yourself. We’ve been watching the lemons and the Key limes developing, wondering how many would be ready for the holiday – it wasn’t a huge haul, certainly not the bulk of what’s out there,
A question for the ages
We all know dreams can get pretty weird I know my strangest tend to come if I’m running a fever, or alternately if I took a dose of naproxen sodium (the drug behind Aleve) before retiring. Otherwise, most of my dreams now are fragmentary and generally very mundane, ordinary events that might occur during the day.
The other night was different, and one particular detail stands out to me. You
