Happy Birthday David Bowie, born this day in 1947.
His 26th and final album "Blackstar" (★) was released on this day in 2016.
David Bowie would pass away just a couple of days later. Rest in Peace.

On the day after Epiphany, it is always a joy to see Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Christians - particularly in ancient lands in which Christianity has been present from the earliest centuries - celebrating Christmas. Here in Georgia, Syria, Iran, and Ethiopia.

Some folk went all out with holiday decorations & the aftermath has ended up next to my office in what look like body bags. This is not festive.

My fruit salad leaked all over my car, coat & tote bag getting to work today. It's 50°+ and a zombie bee found me. Weird.
