That beats me. I caught this from Howells Arizona... you're not going to find it on a map. It's a ghost town one hundred and thirty five years dead.

What's even crazier is this is from our balcony in the mountains of central Arizona. This far , south , I was able to see it. This was a very long exposure about ten seconds.

Don't go looking for this place. It died in 1885. We've never heard of light pollution up here in these parts. Some of us still believe light pollution is just myth, much like Big Foot and the Epstein Files.

From the ghost town of Howells, Arizona, I bring you a sky like I've never before seen. I mean, look at all that light pollution from the north. I can't even see my stars tonight...
Yeah, we can see it even from here... if we just knew where here was.

A small raft of turkeys, a mere fraction of the usual gang, greets me as I step outside. They know who refill the bird feeder... and is sloppy about it.

I honestly cannot express how happy I am right now. Sweetie likes me... really likes me!
Cat person here. Dogs ignore me. Never had a dog actually cuddle (she got and stayed closer)
Why so happy?
Can you imagine how horrible it would be if HER dog didn't like me?
I'm in heaven!

The Tale will be titled "The Relics of Caleb Walsh". It follows a Tale previously published titled "The Journal of Caleb Walsh".
I have been experimenting with constrained writing. This will leave me 55 words and 2 phrases locked in specific locations I must write around.
It's pretty fun!

Cats ❤️ me.
There are 2 semi-feral cats who hang out nearby. Both let me pet them.
This chap I saw today while working in the orchard. I tried meowing, mewing, psspssspsssing and even some blert-blerts but apparently I am not the Pussy Whisperer I thought I was.
