This kinda explains it. Don't get me started on the loss of skilled NWS employees.

GenX here… Unless you grew that lettuce, don’t eat it. Cake is much safer. Follow me for food safety advice. 😉

It's the 3 or 4 layers

Howdy skeeps! So much goodness surrounds me - what a fabulous weekend it's been. Great to chat with most (but sadly not all!) at the Skeep-up yesterday. I'm so glad to know you all, and now you're no longer my imaginary internet friends. "On the Internet nobody knows you're a dog" link in alt txt.

Woke to the sound of rain pitter pats on the skylights. Oh. Ok. It's gentle. I'll take it. Snowing by family near Denver. I'd take that, too. To answer Katy's question: no, no snow on the peak. webcams.sandiapeak.com/images/cams/... Almost time for coffee and breakfast. Wooo!

Doesn't this suck you in?

This year I played with felt.

Ok folks, here's some of the crafting/gifts I've been working on. There are multiple of each. Yes, your third grader could make these. I'm not very artistic this way, but my family will love it or lump it!

Krampus in Old Town

Hey y'all! It was early, but I got to meet speck! Balloons and brews works for me. Lots of dogs if you want to make a furry friend. Balloons flew kinda our way. Have a good day. Share a smile. Sing a song.

Balloons as seen from steel bender this morning

I'll be lining up for when they open

Sometimes a rainbow appears.

Gah! Ok, he's a screenshot:

PBS for the win. Empathy, benevolence, learning.

Got this from a friend.

Rain in the 505 on Star Wars Day.

We got SNOW! A January-decent amount of it. Of course it's wet and heavy and now melting at the touch of sunshine, but it was glorious.

I do love our zoo! SQUEEEEE! Baby orangutan!!!! I blame the 80s cartoon "Shirt Tales" for my love of orangutans - Bogey was his name and he stole my heart.

For the visual learners... This is how contagious measles is - one sick person will get 18 others sick. If you thought COVID was bad, that was only 7. Measles can also cause blindness, deafness - ESPECIALLY in babies and young children (those who have no agency to choose vax). Wear a mask.

Katherine Graham has been spinning in her grave. Proud of hubs for finally getting fed up enough that we unsubscribed from the Washington Post.

Ok, #booksky, this was a struggle.

#saltingthevibes Masked up to see a Rodin and breaking the mold in a Harley shirt. Art is for everyone.
