There's been 168 since then, in (given a somewhat "normal" lifespan) a collection of maybe 1000 that you'll be blessed to have the opportunity to see in a lifetime. Always felt like that was a very humbling thought. Treasure each one, as well as all the "stuff" that comes in between them :)

Also very useful in "self education" activities, as I'm trying to do with Physics 2...
Some of it's pretty weird, at least for my current needs - you can generate an audio response, and it creates it in the form of a podcast, or a movie, and at least in my limited experience, it's almost comical. But, I imagine there are useful applications for this. @leahwrenn.bsky.social
#NotebookLM . With 30+ years of many thousands of personal R&D documents, it's impossible to search and find what I'm looking for. Google has a very interesting app, NotebookLM, that facilitates querying (memory jogging) these docs in subsets. Some may find this very useful
In 1976, I loved working as student laborer for NPS at Fire Island, pounding cores, as part of project to show that the barrier islands were "eroding landward." I'm assuming your strip of the Cape is doing the same thing? Geologists are so danged cool :)
It's always humbled the hell out of me that no matter what we've done on our planet, Earth has rotated in this way every damned day, providing an opportunity for a fresh start. And it dates back so far before us, so far before life itself. It just keeps happening.
When you have no power, paint?
New #OceanDevotion oil painting underway...
Always been impressed with her objective pragmatism.
I love the Marconi station! I was an active shortwave radio listener in the early 1970s and I remember the thrill when my Dad took us out there once.
That's great!
Reminds me of your interactions with Condi Rice a year or so ago. Seems like a respectful pattern :)
I know little of Allard, but I love that you are able to find connection outside of political positions. I barely know you, but you got my respect on this one. Seems like the only sane way forward in times like this.
It was rough going further up!
It's a right purty day for hiking in Denali National Park.
Right fine day for University of Alaska ski trails. I always feel extremely fortunate for the many miles of these.
Right fine day for thinking of the Hawaii 5 0 theme song at Pupukea Beach.
Right purty Sunday morning for 3.4 mile run/walk (more like shuffle in Sorels) in #Fairbanks #Alaskasky (Disclaimer: Chena Pump bank thermometer reads about 7F colder than actual under these conditions).
#Fairbanks #Alaskasky can be a right purty place to live when it's 40 below zero. This was taken at 13:30.
I tell you what, these -35F to -40F days just around the solstice are some of my favorite times of the year for walks. These were taken at 2:15pm, half an hour before sunset (after 11 am sunrise), in #Fairbanks #Alaskasky There's a magic in it all.
Missing my canine soulmate, Kenai, or "Keeny Bopper," gone now for over two years, but continues to inspire my life. This was at Chena Lake in May 2017.
Wow, I've watched a lot of geology documentaries, but this one has some wonderful animations on the evolution of the Rocky Mountains, and help to understand so much of the detail you see when you roam those parts. Highly recommend if you're interested -- youtube.com/watch?v=TGnDsZwAtRY
I'm still rooting for subzero before it starts going back up, but I'm not very optimistic.
Was just looking at one of my all-time favorite videos. Up at Eagle Summit (north of Fairbanks) in 2014 with my canine soulmate, Kenai, just doing "the life thang." #Alaskasky
It was a right fine day for trail running north of University of Alaska Fairbanks campus. Well, actually, it would have been a right finer day with some snow cover. #Alaskasky
It was a right fine autumn Sunday morning for the Chena Ridge / Chena Pump loop above the Tanana (and Chena) River in #Fairbanks #Alaskasky. On peaceful old fart Sunday mornings like this, I like to contrast with Sunday Morning Coming Down of decades ago --

Back around 1982 I remember buying at a local Great Falls, MT bookstore the definitive, seminal work on driving etiquette, "How to Drive Like a Selfish Bastard." It specifically said on this topic, "Don't use turn signals, it's nobody's business where you're going."
Maybe there's a broader and less categorised set of "basic responses" than the quartet your present? :)
It was a right fine early autumn afternoon up on Chena Ridge, east of #Fairbanks #Alaska. In the bike-less picture, University of Alaska Fairbanks is the set of buildings on the left.
Am I missing something? Adding your proposed edits seems essentially like definitively casting a possibility as a sure outcome. You know what they say about making predictions, especially about the future :)
I thought ADN piece was well done, but of course more local detail than expected in NYT
