Earlier this year, my camera image card failed. Luckily, I have a techy dad who loves a problem. He got my photos back including this shot from our whale watch earlier in the year.

Did the archives visit help me? Not entirely sure, but I did get to see some truly unhinged letters to Louise Day Hicks about bussing in Boston.

We went further north to Tromso, Norway in February and it was very similar in terms of daylight to Boston in December. This photo was taken around noon time one day. We also got to see the lights and it was amazing

A little mad at past me for not saving the whole death certificate. #Genealogy #GeorgeTheBedMan

Oh I know. But there are too many houses higher than us or poorly placed for sky viewing. That is why we went to Norway this year lol

This was my favorite place in Eastie

One of the largest collection of photos of Black Boston club women I've ever seen. Including Rosa Brown and Melnea Cass. 🗃️

Went to a comedy show and a concert broke out during it! And a PowerPoint. @jordanklepper.bsky.social would make a great contestant at a PowerPoint party

This is one of the reasons why we wash our hands every time we pick up the trail camera.

But would you pick Click or Clack?

Really rude of the Cambridge Public Library to not let me read this article.

Some of the better signs and costumes I saw yesterday at Boston's protest. We do love a John Adams sign around here.

Someone abandoned this great sign next to me so I took it. Great day, but I'm fried now

Saw our local feral cat today when I came home and got greeted with face rubs and chatter. Wish I knew more about him so I could pat him. He tried to break into the house after using my door mat as a claw mat

It is actually really easy to wish the US Navy a happy birthday with a photo of one of their own ships. Look, even a non military person like me can do it!

One of the best stones in the cemetery down the street from my workplace

Some about the school, some about the railroad stocks, some about books. I can't remember if this was part of it or not...

I really wish this person would sell me this glass...it is from my great-grandfather's shop on Hanover Street.

I just got to have a kiss from a visiting goat and got to pat another three others. Working at a place where we do all ages programming has its advantages sometimes.

Horrible photo of a fast moving animal. Thoughts on who this was? Possibly a coyote, fox, cat, something else?

Moved wicked fast on the trail camera, this is all the camera was able to get
