I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

It was an extrajudicial execution. Anyone who defends this is defending a police state.

I caught a #meteor in my timelapse from Crestone, Colorado USA on December 8, 2025 at 1:14am MST. The waning gibbous moon nicely illuminates the foreground here.

The Cold Moon was a very cold sight here, temperature around 5°F as it crawled up Crestone Peak. The fresh snow is glistening most beautifully in the moonlight tonight. (1/2)

Someone needs to set up a camera so we'll know when Pete Hegseth orders this plaque removed from West Point.

Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like — but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Just after dark I spotted a hiker above treeline, below Columbia Point. This time of year that's not a great place to be and I was concerned enough to phone it in. Based on the hiker's lights during the descent it does appear they made it down safely.

Last night's #timelapse features two ionosphere holes (aka SpaceX Aurora) visible to the south. The first at 9:40pm 11/14, second at 1:18am 11/15. Also something burning (?) near Medano Pass (left of center). I've never recorded light up there.
