I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Well - we're free from Microsoft!
After a series of update failures from MS, I've left the winslop ecosystem and moved all computers to fedora.
Everything just works - even the hardware that Windows had trouble recognizing ... just ... works! :)

Trying some different things for the #52frames_getlow challenge.
A kind figure skater let me photograph them at a local outdoor rink.
The buildings along King look good from below - but I decided this isn't the same as "Get Low".

Finally, here is my composite image of the #Geminids peak on 13/14 December 2025. It was by far my most successful observation of a #MeteorShower, with over 260 meteors within 5 hours - what a night! The image is a composite of 61 individual shots of 15s and contains 65 Geminids. #Astrophotography 🔭

Struggled a bit with #52frames_selfportrait.
I tried to do an silhouette like we did in school with the students. But, I couldn't manage the bokeh and keep a sharp outline in the space I was in. I settled for a tight crop, tried to go a bit abstract. #52frames #selfportrait #monochrome #photography

An unexpected visitor to our bird feeder during the ice storm!
Cooper's Hawk (and Mourning Dove)
(I guess the hawks have to eat too! However, I think there will be no traffic to our birdfeeders for the next several days...)
