The most inexpensive thing in New York City, is the Staten Island ferry. ⛴️
It costs absolutely nothing, and you see so much. Photo taken 2015.

About once a month I give groceries to my Church. They distribute it to the poor, in our community. Mostly I buy name brand cereals for $1.99. This week's find, Raisin Bran! Remember, furloughed people are coming up on a no pay week. Keep them in your thoughts, as you shop.

When I was in school for my Master's degree, some of my instructors said the same thing about my writing. I now feel vindicated. You go girl!

New — I was fortunate to speak in front of students and faculty at Grinnell College in Iowa tonight about the business of independent journalism, the current state of media under Trump 2.0, and billionaire control.

I published my full speech because I thought it might resonate beyond campus:

Truth, morality and independence in journalism under the second Trump regime

My full remarks to students and faculty at Grennell College.

It's #SkySunday!

A sunset on the Straights of Mackinac. Popcorn clouds and gentle waves, along a rocky shore.

The Story of Writing @sownow.bsky.social · 22d

On this day in 1970, the Public Broadcasting Service or PBS was launched in the United States. It essentially replaced National Educational Television.
#History #OTD

PBS is different from commercial broadcasting because it receives funding, not from advertising, but from viewers who support individual stations. Those stations pay PBS to run its programs. Any entity – from individuals to private foundations to corporations – can give money to PBS. But all proposed funding for programming is subject to a set of standards that ensure the program is free of influence from the funding source. PBS got a boost in ratings when it began broadcasting the court hearings on the widening political scandal of Watergate in 1973.

Things I did this year, because I was worried I might not be able to do them next year.
I traveled across the entire US twice on Amtrak.
I visited Yosemite National Park.
Thanks to all the Government workers, who helped us along the way.
It has been a busy year.

#SkySunday. The pool at the Grand Hotel, Mackinac Island, Michigan. Photo taken 2025.

From the balcony of the Grand Hotel, you can see the pool through the fencing, and a wild sky above.

After spending a week with my son, I have lots of cat posts. Here is my favorite of Taro. She is such a cute cat.

I am still on the East Coast (at least timewise). Spent Saturday touring Mackinac Island. These lovely houses reminded me of the queen houses in San Francisco. Each painted a different color.

A boardwalk in the lower area, the street next to it, with 4 houses (each a different color), and a blue sky above it all.

I finally visited Mackinac Island yesterday. Bucket list item checked off. It was choppy waters, and some rain passed us by, but look at the dramatic clouds. Photo taken 2025.

We got a little rain, overnight.

Angelle Lemarche @angellelemarche.bsky.social · Sep 18

I brought my flags in. There will be no rain.

Long Island is my home, and though I no longer live there, I enjoy the flatness of the land, which I do not have in Los Angeles. Happy sunrise, from Garden City, NY.

Bridalveil Falls In Yosemite, was not the most flowing of the falls we saw on our visit, but the sky made the photo.
