Currently, my favorite species of shorebird is the Short-billed Dowitcher. I've gone out in the past trying to find these guys, but failed. The one time I go out for Black-bellied Plovers and Whimbrel, these guys fly in and completely take up my day and time, but I certainly can't complain. Short-billed Dowitcher, Bethel Beach, VA 9/7/25

The current Parish Church in the beautiful Tyrolean valley of Neustift was consecrated to St. George in 1780. From the outside, the church, a Rococo building in the village centre, looks very simple. The interior is, however, is quite magnificent and furnished with frescoes by renowned masters. The beautiful graveyard contains the grave of the “Glacier Parson” and co-founder of the Alpine Association, Franz Senn.
The church was built from plans by the clergyman and church designer Franz de Paula Penz, whose buildings can be found all over Tyrol.
Though the temperature of 10º Celsius is not really low compared to snowing countries, it is still called "cold current" in Taiwan. I stayed at home and avoid being outdoor in such a cold and rainy day.
攝氏十度對很多下雪的國家而言，實在不算是冷，但是對台灣而言，就已經是「寒流」等級。
當然，我這怕冷的，完全避免出門，在家翻舊庫存。

... coffee every morning with Max Lucado is my current therapy du jour. That's Lucado with a long "A" and I found that out listening to some of Max's Upwords on his website:
I've resisted the impulse to go to Max's website, highlight and copy some of his best stories and paste them here for you to read. If you want to read Max Lucado, do it the right way. Go buy one of his books or go check one out at your library. You owe it to yourself to take him seriously.
Day before yesterday I had a big grin at one of Max's stories. He tells of going to the church gym to play basketball. The players are made up of a diverse age and size variety, Max calls the "flat bellies" and the "fat bellies."
The flat bellies are agile and admired for their precision moves. They score a high percentage of baskets as the morning workout progresses. They are however, very tolerant and respectful of the fat bellies.
the fat bellies are very respectful of the flat bellies and admire their precision moves, their high basket scores and their youth and vitality.
The flat bellies respect the fat bellies because the fat bellies have the keys to the gymnasium in their pockets.
We all need to go through life remembering who has the keys to the gymnasium in their pocket.
I'd heard this story before, probably in one of Sherry's sermons (she's been reading Max Lucado for years).
Two battleships have been in stormy seas for days on manuevers off the Pacific Coast. In the early morning hours, still stormy with visibility at near zero, the intercom crackles "forward lookout to bridge, there's a light dead ahead." Because of the weather, the Captain has remained on the bridge and responds, "Forward lookout, this is the Captain, keep observing the light and tell me if it moves starboard or port or remains steady. If it remains steady it means we are on collision course."
A little while later the forward lookout reports the light is remaining steady. The captain sends a signalman out who flashes the message. "Light off point bow, change your course twenty degrees." From the light there comes the signal, "You change your course twenty degrees." The captain has the signalman send, "I am the Captain of this vessel and I command you to change your course by twenty degrees." The response comes, "I am a Yeoman 2nd Class and I instruct you to change your course twenty degrees."
Enraged, the Captain has this message sent, "This is a United States Battleship, change your course twenty degrees." From the light comes the response, "This is a lighthouse, change your course twenty degrees."
I don't need to finish this story. But the question that begs being answered is, "How much of our time do we spend demanding that lighthouses change their courses?"
I got Karen's beautiful red sunset shortly after I'd finished my "Coffee with Max" session and this thought came to mind.
An unusually percentage of males have a visual abnormality known in laymen's terms as "red-green color blindness."
During World War II, one of the sad things was the number of qualified young men who wanted to be aircraft pilots, but were color-blind. As I recall, they became bombardiers or navigators or maybe gunners. They can't be policemen. They will live and die and never know what the color "red" looks like.
I've tried to image how you could describe with words the color "red" to someone, to lessen their loss. I haven't even come up with a vague outline.
The question we all need to ask is, "What are our color-blind spots, our blind spots? What are the things we will never be able to fathom because of a flaw in one of the five senses?" If we know ourselves, our strengths (like the keys to the gym in our pocket) and our weaknesses (like color-blindness) and accept them, we'll be better able to deal with life.
Week 4/52: Water
I took this one the day after election day, 2020, so posting it the morning before the inauguration makes some sense to me. Hard to know where we'll go, but it's definitely somewhere.
On an editing note, I wanted to try to make this one look more like a painting. My first go at it!
Currently @ C88
The Corrie bathroom collection features a modern pedestal sink and a tub finished in a luxe marble stone, complimented with rich wood tones. (Toilet and paper holder not shown).
Finished now. Not altogether satisfying, and not one of his best. But it had a lot of the touches that Pynchon readers expect (sentences with lists that give you whiplash... "wait for it" Dad jokes, ambiguity and feelings of dislocation).
Glad I read it, not sure what else I would have read instead.
Been at this Pulitzer Prize winner for a few weeks, and it's incredibly rewarding. Long, detailed, and packed in a tiny font, but very rewarding. A lot of it (so far, 20-25% in) is focused on the compromises and processes of amendments - - reminding us that the Founding Fathers were not a monolithic group, and that they represented only a subset of the American population (no women, no slaves, no Native Americans, and only property holders). Here and there Lepore reminds us of the absences of these voices and the efforts to limit amendments, even as delegates to state constitution conventions may have sought to make it easier for future generations to amend. But again, I'm not very far in.
UPDATE, one third in. I'm now up to about 1861, and it seems like this book isn't about the Constitution itself but about the intersection of the history of the United States and the Constitution... that is, its scope is broader than I expected and more than I wanted. I really wanted greater focus on all the com[promises etc that got us to the original constitution and how it got us to the point where California and Wyonimg have the same number of Senators and how nothing can be done about it. I'm looking at my body clock and doubting I have time for all of the rest of this book, as good as I'm sure it is.

Lumsdale Falls, Matlock
Several shoots of unculled and unprocessed images have been dormant on my hard drive since our Japan holiday so I thought I'd spend the day tidying up my directories and give you all a break from my recent offerings, although I've not finished with Japan yet.
A day out at Lumsdale Falls late October with fellow togs Eddie and Pat in search of flowing water and a chance to have a paddle in our wellies. If you've seen the recent humiliation I've suffered at the hands of Eddie... this is payback time. All puns gratefully received
This is very good. Ressa is a journalist who was born in the Philippines, raised in the US, and returned to the Philippines to start a news outlet which soon became the target of the leading politicians. She and her outlet fought back and endured, and this endurance and the actions she took are the heart of the story. But it's also about the Internet and social networking, and how FB -- which helped her outlet succeed -- was eventually turned against her. I highly recommend this one.
