Ummm…. It’s a little hard to explain. I’m an auto didactic, polymath and a spontaneous / compulsive reader. Plus a bit of… . . everything. 🍻🎈💙📚🐝✈️🖼️

It’s warm and sunny in Georgia warm enough to ride my motorcycle with only a T-shirt and flip-flops. I miss traveling and going places with the snow in the winter.

I didn’t know it was possible to experience, seasonal depression because of its warm and sunny … . . 😎

A view from the house where I grew up on January 24, 2022. (No filter or photoshop)

Sunset near Omega, WI as seen through smoke from a forest fire. Zero filter, zero FX.

This book had a very large influence on the way I write code. Every chapter was fascinating, but the one discussing African drum language really opened my eyes to a lot of unexpected possibilities. The audio sample on Kindle shares a little bit of this info.

So… most of my favorite books tend to be long. This one is very short but intense.

Identify as Wolf Larson… . .

Just a sample of my photography taken with an iPhone. (Not an add)

Maybe one day I’ll have a real camera with interchangeable lenses again and can pursue one of my hobbies … . .

The photograph is not especially beautiful, but this tower was very interesting… and a little bit scary lol.

It’s a double stack antenna, I believe the bottom was a TV slot antenna and the top was just a dummy pole with nothing on it Iol.

Almost time for me to go to sleep. Just looking at old photos and reminiscing about the life I used to live.

I’m gonna try to do the 20 book challenge but it’s kind of hard choosing after reading approximately 10,000 books. I’m starting with a brand new one I just saw today.

20 day challenge

They say curiosity killed the cat… . . But one day in Texas curiosity killed this buzzard.

Funny story if anyone wants to hear it … well a little funny, but mostly sad.

Sunset over the Gulf of Mexico while climbing down from a 1600’ (500m) broadcast tower.

I’m not really sure what to post. I have “old man phone problems”. I don’t get to travel much anymore. Sometimes I just look at old photos and remember the life I used to live.

Supercell thunderstorm with a giant wind farm. All the lights are GPS synced. I had a long way to drive that night, but I just had to pull over and watch it. It was magical. I wish I had better video.

This is one of the most unusual cloud formations I’ve seen. I’ve lived outside most of my life and I’m fascinated by clouds and atmosphere.

One of my favorite books. It is very near a “perfect object”.

Can anyone guess where I took this photograph?
