Early reports of this year's Monarch migration are promising. We'll see what the winter counts are in Mexico for a more precise measure of populations. From a historical standpoint, it's difficult for me to get excited over incremental increases. In the scheme of things Monarchs have a very specific need for milkweed to persist and agriculture and human development have destroyed all but remnants of this resource. I'll keep planting milkweed, even though I know my efforts don't amount to much. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Thought I'd throw an extra shot up today.
They have the platform built that they will rest the last arch piece on and attach it. They actually spread the bridge to put the piece in place! Then it's pulled back together.
The last piece should be going up soon. The first side should be completed and open by late this year. At least that's the plan. It was supposed to be open last fall!
Nice in LARGE view. Can you see the workers up top?
reports are saying up a little over three feet in places . locally I think we are supposed to get in the neighborhood of a foot give or take some inches . Winter has finally caught up with us ! A vortex of arctic air is supposed to rush south during this as well dropping temps to below zero. It is supposed to stick around till well into February.

This picturesque abandoned Forester's Cabin lies in the rolling hills of Germany. This simple wood cabin is warping and leaking after years of neglect.
Hull 31 July 1988
Built in 1977 by Flekkefjord Slipp & Mfbk. A/S, Flekkefjord (yard no. 125) for Icelandic owners.
Sold in 1994 to Morstroyprom of Murmansk and renamed POISK 1. Last reported laid up at Murmansk since at least 2005.
Scanned from an original monochrome print.
Photo per request. This project is on a backburner for a while (again ;) ) . But it shall not be forgotten!
All mechanisms are working. The cabin will be one stud taller. I wonder if I'll be able to put some believable greebling to hide the gray motors. There's only one stud deep space! Also, haven't experimented much with the excavator arm; I hope it won't be too heavy for the delicate mechanism.
The Royal Blue Run 2021 took place over the summer solstice weekend in mid June and covered around 750 miles from Harlow in Essex, out to Southend, down to Southampton, along to Plymouth, then up through Truro, Newquay, Barnstaple and Taunton before finishing in Stroud in Gloucestershire!
With various Covid restrictions in place limiting numbers on coaches, the opportunity to take the White Bus centenary bus as additional capacity was too good to miss (thanks go to the White Bus directors).
On 19 December 2022, the bipartisan United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack voted unanimously, 9 - 0, to refer former President Donald tRump to the U.S. Department of Justice for prosecution on charges of:
☞ Obstruction of an official proceeding;

▶ After refusing to concede the 2020 U.S. presidential election and then perpetuating false claims of widespread voter fraud, then-President Donald Trump summoned a mob to the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The Committee received sworn testimony that Trump knew he did not win the election, identifying him as "the center of the first and only effort by any U.S. President to overturn an election and obstruct the peaceful transition of power".
▶ A terrible and sad moment in our history but also a critical one, reaffirming that no one in America is above the law, including (especially) the president. That is, of course, pending action by the Justice Department.

▶ Note the date of release on the cover to the report: "December 00, 2022." Obviously, the committee had sent the cover sheet to the Government Printing Office before the final report was completed.

Yesterday, Mt.Sandan at 1450m ,Kamifurano, Hokkaido.
Today, just below this point at 1300m an avalanche accident is reported, which caused severe injury to an old skier. I bypassed the point going up and down the south route. I am very surprised....

12th Recon Company, 6th May 1903, 12 Miles outside the Capital
[Start of report]
It's been hard country for two days now, swamps and ruins in places we haven't seen them. A good third of us have either been born here or spend several years here, but to walk through it makes us lose our feet.
Buildings aren't just toppled about, they're addresses none of us have seen or known before, made worse by profane marks that dot the walls. Some of the men swear they're nauseous by looking at them, but that could just be the shock of all this. I'm not putting that idea in their heads.
Nightfall is worse for the men. One of the recruits saw something in the night sky and told the others; never got a look at what he saw, but the stars began to move. Circling about, joining or batting into each other before skipping off, leaving it absolute night. Pulled the lad aside and warned him never to speak of that again.
Today was a tipping point for us. We'd heard some kind of commotion in a nearby square. I brought our photographer to the front with us to capture this, because nothing I could write would be believable. We saw people dancing about, clothed in torn rags, their skin marked with blotches of what looked like blackness, were it not for the occasional glimmer or bit of debris.
They shouted and groaned in a language none of us knew, chanting while their profane dance continued. Others joined their group, but I didn't dare risk out secrecy. Shapes I couldn't describe and voices clear from the jungle or the mountains joined in.
Note: I'm ordering absolute secrecy for our unit, even in the case of civilians. I don't know if this is some kind of plague or infection, but there is a wrongness to the people here. I won't lose a man to it.
[End of report]
Reports of further austerity measures have been denied by Downing Street.

My first attempt at a triptych. I don't think I will be doing very many of these....they are ALOT of work. Check it out on the larger scale to see all the juicy details!
Oh, the unparalleled agony of trying to write a book report on a novel that she neither enjoyed nor understood. At least it was fun using the antique typewriter.
This doll is Raspberry Sorbet, posing for the theme "Bloomsday" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I had never heard of Bloomsday before so I looked it up. It's an annual celebration of the life of James Joyce, on June 16th--the day his novel Ulysses (set in 1904) takes place. The protagonist is named Leopold Bloom, hence the name Bloomsday. I've never read Ulysses, but I found it for free on Amazon for Kindle, so I downloaded it and will try to find out what all the fuss is about, because I also found out that it is considered by many to be the greatest novel of the 20th century! The things I learn while photographing my dolls!
Numerically speaking the oldest artic in the First Aberdeen fleet, 10154 prepares to leave Caslte Street while operating a Bridges service 1 to Garthdee & RGU.
These B7LAs have been the main stay of the Bridges for over 13 years now, although their time may come to an end soon as new deckers due next year may oust them.
