This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

And he made Janet run all that defence for a while, before the horrors of ICE cranked way up. When the belligerence to Canada was on going. Now he still does this.
Celebrities, meh, but this one was forced on us like some Canadian monarch. Boo him. Laugh at him. Forget him.

Trump went golfing with Wayne Gretzky today. That's FOX host Brett Baier on the right. Trump posted this on his Truth Social account.

It really has been interesting the last while to see Doug Ford's outbursts. The true Ford. From "get a job" to "audit orgs that might support left wing causes". The authoritarian belligerent bully that had no staff to muzzle him in City Hall days is still there. Does Ontario see? Do they care?

After almost three decades, Canada has lost its measles elimination status.
That means in 2025, this extremely contagious disease spread consistently in our country for the first time since 1998.
This was preventable, which makes it embarrassing -- in more ways than you might realize:

In Mexico, I asked Lewis Hamilton about what pet ownership taught him about himself. A simple question... but one with a LOT of baggage in the #F1 paddock.

Alan Arnett Mcleod was a hero.
While seriously wounded, he stood on the wing of his burning plane and flew it back to Allied territory. After he crash-landed, he carried his injured observer to safety while under heavy fire.
This is his amazing story.

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.
