Day 163 ~ Getting Sick Again
Dominic started feeling poorly and subsequently had another PFAPA Syndrome cycle… sore throat, cough, congestion, low-grade fever, and tummy pain. My sister wants all of us to get tested for CVID, which she got diagnosed with last year. It took a while, but our family doctor found an immunologist who can test and treat this disorder, so now I need to make appointments for all of us. I hate seeing my sweet boy ill… I could see it coming on in his eyes here.
Within several hours of my taking this photo and barring any mechanical problems, this CTA 151 bus drove past my condo building in Edgewater.

Wolfgang likes to push his "girlfriend" through the uprights of the deck railing. Then he watches her hit the ground below, and cries until one of us fetches her.

This is an experiment with extreme macro.
A 300mm zoom lens with an inverted 28mm prime mounted in front gives a field of view around 2 mm wide on the APS-C sized sensor (300/28 =10.7:1 magnification, or over 10 times closer than a normal macro lens).
The setup is slightly disappointing because the depth of field is extremely narrow, making focusing very hard, even at small apertures. This is f13.
Rough focus manually on the zoom, tuned with a focusing rail on the tripod.
Oh, and the subject is connectors on a computer chip. They look like silver strands of hair to the naked eye.
Cousins' 4 TD passes lead Skins past eliminated Bills 35-25
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) As Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder paced nearby, 20 or so of his team's players gathered in the trainer's area off the locker room Sunday, delighted by their own just-completed victory and waiting to find out exactly how big a deal it was.
Left tackle Trent Williams and other Redskins watched the closing seconds of their NFC East rival New York Giants' loss on TV, letting loose a loud celebration - raised arms, fist pumps, yells of ''Yes!'' - at the end. After last-place finishes in six of the last seven years, Washington is closing in on clinching a playoff berth.
Inspiring a soundtrack of ''You like that!'' chants in the stands, Kirk Cousins equaled his career high with four touchdown passes and ran 13 yards for another score, helping the Redskins win consecutive games for the first time in more than a year and stay atop the division standings by beating the Buffalo Bills 35-25.
''We had a lot on our hands. Everybody said we couldn't win back-to-back games,'' said receiver DeSean Jackson, who turned a short throw from Cousins into a 77-yard TD. ''So this was the first time in a long time we were able to get accomplished what we wanted to get accomplished.''
The Redskins (7-7) can secure a spot in the postseason by winning next Saturday night at the Philadelphia Eagles,
''We still have a dogfight in front of us. And we can't walk before we crawl, put it like that,'' Williams said. ''We've got to focus on the Eagles.''
The Bills (6-8) are now assured of missing the playoffs for the 16th year in a row, the longest active drought in the NFL.
''Did it go according to plan? No, not this year,'' said Rex Ryan, in his first season as Buffalo's coach.
Said defensive end Mario Williams: ''Of course there's going to be changes. That's obvious. You just wait and see if your number is called, that's all.''
Making Ryan's defense look inept, and aided by a key fourth-down encroachment penalty, the Redskins scored TDs on each of their first three possessions of a game for the first time since September 1999, grabbing a 21-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
Even when Washington made a potentially bad mistake of its own - rookie returner Jamison Crowder fumbled a punt near midfield - Buffalo couldn't take advantage. The Bills drove all the way to Washington's 1, but running back LeSean McCoy got stuffed twice, before Tyrod Taylor overthrew Sammy Watkins by a ton in the end zone on fourth down.
''That was a huge stop,'' Redskins coach Jay Gruden said.
After Buffalo made it 28-17 with a two-play, 85-yard drive - capped by the first of Taylor's two TD passes to Watkins - the Redskins responded with a 13-play, 80-yard drive. That ended with Cousins' 5-yard TD toss to Pierre Garcon early in the fourth quarter.
Fans repeatedly responded to touchdowns with full-throated serenades of ''You like that!'' - a reference to what Cousins screamed as he trotted to the locker room after a comeback victory earlier this season.
''I had to turn my headsets up a little bit,'' Gruden said. ''I couldn't hear play calls and all that stuff.''
Cousins hit tight end Jordan Reed for a pair of scores in the first half. Jackson spun away from defensive back Corey Graham for his long score in the third quarter.
''I never thought he was Jerry Rice,'' Ryan said about Jackson. ''But I guess I was wrong.''
Cousins completed his first nine passes and finished 22 for 28 for 319 yards and no interceptions. It was his sixth 300-yard passing day of the season, a franchise record. He equaled another club mark, set way back in 1967 by Hall of Famer Sonny Jurgensen, by starting the season with at least one TD throw in 14 straight games.
''He's definitely gotten better,'' Trent Williams said. ''We had faith in him the whole time. But he continues to grow and he's playing lights-out.''

The incredible Mr. Sardonicus made a fabulously awesome book with his amazing animal portraits.
I got myself one for the holidays, because I deserve one, dammit!
Don't you think you deserve one too?
HELL YES you do!!
Sapelo Island is not open to general tourist traffic. You have to be a resident or a marine researcher to get on the island. Or, you have to have some sort of connection to the residents. Someone to sponsor you in. Kathy, clever fox, somehow found a man on the island named Caesar who was willing to loan us two rusty old granny bikes for the day. He came and met us at the ferry. He gave us our bikes, took our cash, and handed over a tiny hand-drawn map of the island that had been photocopied a thousand times, thus granting us access to the whole island for the day. "You can't really get lost on Sapelo," he said. "If you feel like you're lost, just keep on going, and eventually you'll wind up back here."

During a spot of gardening this ladybird made an appearance climbing up to the top of a pile of dandelions, taking flight for a second, crashing, then repeating the process. It didn't seem to be flying well and was maybe getting it's skills back after hibernation.
