The sun just as it was setting behind the roof lines of the houses across the street from us a few days ago.

Thanksgiving about 5 p. m. Me, standing under the pergola over our patio, reflected in the top of the Weber kettle. There is half a turkey breast in there. It will be ready for Thanksgiving dinner in about 50 minutes. Photo experiments do not always work.

Posting in honor of today’s honoree. 402 still pictures and 31 videos of wild turkeys. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

From a fantastic classic car show held in San Jose, CA the first Sunday after Labor Day each year. Hundreds of beauties!

We bought a new countertop appliance a few days ago. I read the manual. It was clearly written by a non-native English speaker but was understandable. Except for the sentence that said "This devise must be earthed." It took me a while to realize it had to be "grounded."

These are papaws ( or, pawpaws, paw paws, or paw-paws, among many regional names) a fruit that mostly grows in the eastern United States and southern Ontario, Canada. I took this picture at Andy’s Orchard store in Morgan Hill, CA this afternoon.

Another spectacular sky when I went out to get the newspaper this morning. Taken just after 6 a. m. in San Jose, CA. A camera phone picture since I did not think these "rose tipped fingers of dawn" would last long enough for me to grab the camera.

The sky from the end of my driveway in San Jose, CA this morning. East on the left. West on the right.

Three books I have read every few years for many decades.
--To Kill a Mockingbird
--Slaughterhouse-Five, or, The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death
--The Great Gatsby

If I had to be stranded on a desert island I would take Mockingbird and Gatsby plus The Essential Rumi.

The sky about 6:45 this morning. To the east at left. To the west at right. No rain for us so far but as much as 10 inches about an hour north of us.
