I am an old retired fart. I really have better ways to spend my waning and few days left. Protest, organization and pushback is now a necessity. My friends, I ask you to step up from your comfort and be seen and heard. The time for you to be involved is now.

Was looking back through some old Instagram posts and came across this cloud formation I captured on 19 June 2019 in Boulder, CO while taking a work break. (Realized it was before I joined Bluesky.) It appears to be a type of Kelvin-Helmholtz wave. I hustled back to take a timelapse of it

The Statsraad Lehmkuhl at Broadway Pier. Originally German, this ship now sails under a Norwegian flag. Launched in 1914, it was given to Britain as war reparations in 1920. It was subsequently purchased by Norway and then captured by Nazi Germany in 1940. It is owned by a Norwegian foundation now.

Aurora color guide! What creates the different shades?

The bright reds are a sign of a particularly intense event

What are your Thanksgiving traditions? Perhaps it’s a recipe or a board game or an outing… or a fight with Aunt Betty.

Send a voice memo to coloradotoday@cpr.org and my colleagues at our daily podcast may share your ritual!
