It was chilly with a little snow here in the mitten this morning, beautiful day for a walk in the sunshine!
City scape of a blue metal bridge over a river with tall mirrored building in the background. In the foreground there is a series of cement steps with white railing, and a maple tree that has lost most of its leaves. The leaves on the tree and on the ground around the tree are bright orange and yellow. The ground also has a dusting of fresh white snow. It is a sunny day without out any clouds in the sky.

I use the SpaceWeatherLive app to follow geomagnetic storms and Aurora alerts. Also the Aurora Alerts app. There are many others but both of these have been helpful.

Finishing this book while holding an open house at a condo listing. Overcast day so it’s slow. I’ve been boxing up books to share with my brother and came across this one that I hadn’t read. A Golden Retriever is a main character, and it’s in my bookcase, why haven’t I read this? 😄
Photograph of book cover for a book by Dean Koontz titled Devoted. Author’s name is in gold across top of book, with title underneath in white. There is a silhouette of a large tree, the ground and a Golden Retriever standing sideways. The background beyond the tree is bright orange and gold.

Way to go everyone who showed up and stood up today. Great turnout all over the country, and from what I’ve read several places around the world. When is the next one?

My favorite time of day, sunrise. Picture taken this morning as the sky turned from orange and yellow to a soft pink.
Photograph of the sunrise this morning. A large maple tree without any leaves, because it is still winter here, takes up most of the frame. The maple tree and tops of neighboring trees are silhouetted against the sky that is turning orange, yellow and pink. Sky is darker closer to horizon in orange and yellow and softens to pink as you move away from the horizon. It looks and feels peaceful and quiet.

This paragraph sticks out to me. Didn’t attorney’s for the DOJ recently claim Musk had no decision making authority and he is strictly an advisor. Then why would he be meeting with members of Congress to introduce legislation? Why would he be introducing legislation?

I’m not finding days for the NY special election yet, or candidates.
Notice on internet regarding special election to fill Elise Stefanik’s congressional seat. An election date has not been set.

Wish I could edit my previous comment. Here is part of current IRS Form 4868, used to file an extension. Guess I’m a rule follower 😂, who is averse to paying interest or penalties, and paid estimated taxes when filing an extension in the past as recommended by a CPA friend. Payment not required!

#LakeMichigan
The shore curves to the left to the tip of a peninsula.
Photograph of a Lake Michigan beach on a summer day. The photo is taken from standing near edge of the water, where water meets the sand, looking up the shoreline towards a tip of a peninsula. The day is windy, the blue water is choppy and waves are breaking out in the lake as well as onto the shore. The sand is wet along the shore and there are lines in the sand where the water has been. The sky is mostly cloudy, but bright white clouds, and there is some blue sky peaking through. The shoreline curves to the left towards the peninsula, and there are dunes mostly covered in trees on the right hand side.

#JanuArty Day 28 #Flat
#BlueskyPhotographers
#Photographers
Using for flat because of how smooth the water is. I’m standing on a dam that crosses this river, most of the year the water moves fairly swiftly here, but in the winter you can catch it when it is perfectly flat.
Photograph across a river of trees and buildings of a downtown. It’s not a large city so buildings are smaller, more like a small town you would find in the countryside. The River is as smooth as glass, with small areas of ice. It’s a cloudy, overcast winter day and the clouds are reflected on the dark water. There is some snow on the ground around the buildings. The river shows a clear reflection of the trees, shrubs, and buildings that are on the opposite bank.

Sunsets are beautiful, but there is something about sunrises that I love more. Daybreak is a clean slate, a new day full of opportunity and adventure. It’s quiet, peaceful, and hopeful.
Photograph of a colorful sunrise. The foreground is a huge majestic maple tree that almost fills the entire frame. Beyond the tree there are snow covered rooftops of neighboring homes and many smaller dark, silhouetted trees on the horizon. The sky is bright with pinks, purples, oranges and yellows. The color is more intense oranges and yellows near the horizon and slowly fades to purples and pinks near the top.

Well, Indiana isn’t wasting any time implementing Project 2025. Watch your state legislatures closely, this will all be in your own backyard soon. 🤬

I just checked my IG again, the accounts used by the Biden administration have been archived. The accounts for the current administration are new. They have also archived the White House gun violence policy account. Did not check other WH accounts.

#JanuArty Day 21 Happy

Always a happy dog! I took this photo 9 years ago of my dog Ozzy. Unfortunately I lost him a couple of years ago at 14 1/2. He was a bull in a china shop, always full steam ahead and truly always happy. Not the most technically correct photo, but it’s a favorite.
Photograph of a male Golden Retriever running towards me in the snow. Dog is medium gold in color and has large dark brown eyes. He has some snow on his muzzle, ears are flying out to the side, and he has a large happy grin on his face. There is a blurred cyclone style metal fence, and bottom of some dark green pine trees. Ozzy is running in deep, fresh snow. His long chest fur is flying around him as is the snow.
