Broadcast will probably be snuggling on this fluffy winter blanket all day while I bike to work in 11 degrees Farenheit / -11 degrees Celcius. This is not my favorite biking temperature, I have to say.

Broadcast actually shares her birthday with Satomi Matsuzaki of Deerhoof, who also loves cats so I waited until Caturday to celebrate with Broadcast. Don't worry, though, she has gotten lots of treats both today and on her birthday, which was Purrsday!
Broadcast turned 9.

For more than a century, beginning in 1855, the North Point Lighthouse stood tall, overlooking the water and beaming out its light to protect and guide ships and watercraft. Keepers and their families lived and worked at the North Point Light Station, ensuring that the bright light was broadcast through fair weather and foul. It symbolizes a time in our history when waterways were the highways between cities. Lighthouses facilitated water travel and commerce on Lake Michigan, throughout the Great Lakes and beyond.
It has recently been restored to its early 20th century charm through the determined efforts of a group of committed volunteers.

Earlier this week, Broadcast turned 8 years old but, as she was very busy in her second grade class learning about adverbs at the time, we had to wait to celebrate her birthday on Caturday.

Auf dem Mauerweg, dem früheren Todesstreifen zwischen Westberlin und der umliegenden DDR kann man heute über hunderte Meter in Kirschblüten schwelgen: Zwischen Lichterfelde-Süd und Teltow stehen in der TV-Asahi-Kirschblütenallee etwa 1100 Bäume.
Die Aktion geht auf den japanischen TV-Sender TV Asahi zurück. Er rief 1990 zu einer großen Spendenaktion in Japan auf, bei der rund 20.000 Japaner umgerechnet rund eine Million Euro spendeten.
Im November 1990 begann man entlang des ehemaligen Mauerstreifens die ersten von rund 10.000 Bäumen zu pflanzen, ab April 1995 dann die TV-Asahi-Kirschblütenallee auf dem Mauerweg. Das seither Ende April gefeierte Hanami (Kirschblütenfest) wurde in diesem Jahr abgesagt.
On the Wall Trail, the former death strip between West Berlin and the surrounding GDR, you can today indulge in cherry blossoms for hundreds of meters: Between Lichterfelde-South and Teltow are around 1100 trees in the TV Asahi Cherry Blossom Avenue.
The action goes back to the Japanese TV broadcaster TV Asahi. In 1990 he called for a large fundraiser in Japan, in which around 20,000 Japanese donated the equivalent of around one million euros.
In November 1990, the first of around 10,000 trees were planted along the former wall strip, and from April 1995 the TV-Asahi cherry blossom avenue on the Wall Path. The Hanami (cherry blossom festival), which has been celebrated since the end of April, was canceled this year.

A visit to Ugchelen FM DAB+ Radio Broadcast Tower near Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. The tower has a height of 142 meter.
Radioweg 3
7348 BG, Radio Kootwijk (Gemeente Apeldoorn)
Rijksmonument ID: 46517
The former radio station “Radio Kootwijk” is situated in the heart of the “Veluwe” centred in a wonderful natural reserve area. It is a unique establishment that is highly valued for its typical blend of scenery with cultural-historical and industrial-historical characteristics.
Radio transmitting station Kootwijk was the most important connection between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies during the Interbellum. The station was occupied by the Wehrmacht on 11 May 1940. The German occupier used radio broadcasting station Kootwijk for different purposes:
- First, to keep in touch with the U-boats in the Atlantic Ocean.
- Secondly, for propaganda broadcasts to Great Britain and the
neutral countries.
- And finally as a jammer for broadcasts from Radio Oranje and BBC.
On 6 and 7 April 1945 the Germans blew up the masts and destroyed the radio equipment.
Broadcast turned 11 today! I don't know if cats understand that it is their birthday even when we talk to them about it but I do think she understands she's receiving a lot of extra special Caturday treats!
Broadcast is named after one of my favorite bands of all time:

Back in the 1930's,radios like this decaying beauty were the TV sets of the era. News,weather, sports, and entertainment were broadcast over a limited bandwidth and kept people informed and entertained. Direct feedback and "likes" were a little slow but anyone that could afford one of these weren't complaining....
Happy throwback Tuesday all!
A guy listens intently to latest news broadcast on his transistor radio while relaxing at the porch of his house by the highway at a village in Subic, Zambales, Philippines.
Giant whispering and coughing from
Vast Sunday-full and organ-frowned-on spaces
Precede a sudden scuttle on the drum,
‘The Queen’, and huge resettling. Then begins
A snivelling of the violins:
I think of your face among all those faces,
Beautiful and devout before
Cascades of monumental slithering,
One of your gloves unnoticed on the floor
Beside those new, slightly-outmoded shoes.
Here it goes quickly dark. I lose
All but the outline of the still and withering
Leaves on half-emptied trees. Behind
The glowing wavebands, rabid storms of chording
By being distant overpower my mind
All the more shamelessly, their cut-off shout
Leaving me desperate to pick out
Your hands, tiny in all that air, applauding.
Philip Larkin - Broadcast (1960)
Broadcast is as naughty as she is beautiful so that's fun. She turned 5 years old today.

During high-speed travel, especially near the speed of light, everything in the universe would seem to lie in the same place, unseparated and undifferentiated, directly ahead. This bizarre wrinkle comes from the effect of aberration. When we drive through a snowstorm, the flakes seem to come from in front of us, while the rear window hardly gets hit at all. The same thing happens with light. Our planet’s eighteen-miles-per-second motion around the sun causes stars to shift position by several seconds of arc from their actual locations. As we increase our velocity, this effect grows ever more dramatic until at just below lightspeed, the entire contents of the cosmos appear to hover in a single blindingly bright ball, dead ahead.

As this Bull Elk approached, he began to bugle and broadcast his presence to his rivals. I was fortunate to be there in that time and in that moment.

Happy Caturday from Broadcast. Named after the very special British band whose lead singer, Trish Keenan experienced an untimely death when she was only in her early 40s. Trish wrote to me before she died and told me how much she liked the photos I had taken of her, which really meant a lot to me.
