A male Downy Woodpecker perches on a snowy branch. Males tend to forage more on small branches and plant stems, while females are more often found foraging on larger branches and tree trunks. This is due to the males chasing off the females from the better food spots

For Darren Hightower, the South Shore building holds difficult memories but also reminds him of how he advocated for himself and his neighbors. Now, he just needs to find a new place to live.

A new investigation revealed that school districts and local governments are reportedly overpaying for supplies because of Amazon contracts that bind them to dynamic pricing.
Rather than allow for competitive bidding, the deals “covertly raise prices and inflate costs for governments.”

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

One of many Cambridge street watercolours I did 30-40 years ago. Working on the spot uniquely preserves memories and feelings. The shop signs at that time in Green St were extravagantly beautiful and the passers by were sketched in quickly. Still have this one.

I did 6+ decades in the PNW, including many years as a contractor, living in raingear for months at a time. While I'll always love Washington, I've been in Santa Barbara for 645 days now and I'm not mad about this forecast. I'm such a lucky guy!
