Your moment of zen
A nighttime photograph of a long pedestrian bridge during a heavy snowfall. The scene is softly lit by a row of tall streetlamps, each with three glowing bulbs, casting warm yellow light through the falling snow. The lamps recede into the distance, creating a rhythmic line of light that fades into fog and darkness. The bridge walkway is covered in fresh snow, with faint footprints visible along the center path. On the right, a dark metal railing runs the length of the bridge, its top edge dusted with snow. The atmosphere feels quiet, cold, and contemplative, with limited visibility due to the dense snowfall and misty air.

Rob's #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #FavouriteOfTheMonth. I've got this heron standing in the Tolka River in #Dublin. He's looking quite a bit shorter than usual. I don't have many bird photos but this is my favourite this year/month so far.

A Gray Heron standing on a small weir in a river. He looks short for a heron as the water comes up almost to his body. There's also a decent reflection as the water was quite still.

With another blast of cold air expected Friday through Sunday (Jan. 30 - Feb. 1) across the southeast U.S., be sure to check in on those in your community who might need extra help weathering these temperatures. weather.gov/safety
Cold Impacts: Vulnerable Populations: Everyone is at risk from the dangers of extreme cold, but these groups are more vulnerable than most: newborns, the elderly, people with chronic illness, outdoor workers, and the unhoused. Age and certain conditions make the body less able to regulate temperature. Dress in loose layers and cover all exposed skin. Consume hot foods and warm drinks, but avoid caffeine and alcohol. Limit or avoid time outdoors. Check on family, friends and neighbors.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

The Buddha points beyond ‘is’ and ‘is not’, beyond ‘eternal’ and ‘annihilated‘, and ultimately beyond any view that divides experience into fixed categories.

Night night sleep tight.

Beginning Thursday, and for the first time in its 43-year history, Chicago’s Second City e.t.c. Stage is changing over its storied revue, which launched the careers of the likes of Keegan-Michael Key and Jack McBrayer, to an all-improv show titled “Improv Supernova.”
