This one has been on YouTube for about a decade, and it’s really entertaining. Even more so if you like old movies.

Tonight’s Times Square Midnight Moment is titled “Milk Galaxy” and was created by Colette Copeland. The 3-min. video is synched on nearly all the big video screens in the Square and it’s an amazing spectacle to behold.

Today is the final day for MTV’s music video channels. I remember very well the day MTV came to cable TV and enjoyed many, many of the music videos they aired. Here’s the one I liked best of all:

“If DERANGED PRESIDENTS and their Late Night RAGE TWEETS are almost 100% Negative to DEMOCRATIC NORMS, shouldn’t their very valuable TIME IN OFFICE be terminated? I say, YES!”

There, fixed it for you, Donald.
President Farquaad needs to get ahold of himself and read that pesky document he swore an oath to defend.

I’ve mentioned previously that Darlene Love’s “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” is my all-time forever favorite Christmas song. This one is my second-favorite.

At historic Ford’s Theatre this evening for a musical adaptation of A Christmas Carol. Before the show, visited the Theatre’s museum which is compact but worth seeing.

Taurus and Trees. iPhone photo with the Nocturne app. The Pleiades star cluster is peeking through some branches of the tall Tulip Poplars down in the gully beyond the back yard.

Really sad to read that Joe Ely had died. Loved his music. Here’s one of my favorites, one of the most subtle protest songs you’ll ever listen to.

The 33rd installment of my personal time capsule comes out at the end of a year that desperately needs a reset, and it’s filled with essays related to year’s end. I hope you’ll find some things both interesting and entertaining to read in it.

My Nocturne photo for this evening. 11:30pm approx. iPhone camera pointed at zenith.

Wispy clouds moving in, portending a winter storm with snow tomorrow night. Makes for an interesting photo.

So I was pulling up to the gas station pump when my all time forever favorite Christmas song came on the radio. I sat there in the car until it ended, and then got out to do the refueling. Folks, you do not *ever* interrupt Darlene Love when she’s singing that song!

The opening item on tonight’s ABC World News was a report by Will Reeve. He really, really looks like his late father Christopher.

The latest from Pistol Pete Hegseth. Kinda thinking that Paulette Bourgeois and Brenda Clark, the Canadian duo who created the Franklin the Turtle children’s book series, are more than a bit pissed off.

Recently discovered an iPhone astrophotography app named “Nocturne”. It converts the phone camera into a low end smart telescope. It takes multiple short exposures and stacks then to produce one relatively low noise image. And there are overlays to show what you’ve captured. Here’s tonight’s effort.

Weird Donald is at it again.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

I just listen to Darlene Love sing “Christmas(Baby Please Come Home)”. With that, I declare that it is now officially Christmas season.

Lost this little guy seven years ago this week. But he’s still alive up in my headspace.

It’s that time of year again. Autumn colors were really nice this year, but after that it was clean up the yard time. This year it resulted in 14 bags of leaves, and a long afternoon of doing that has pretty well beaten me down.

Tonight’s dinner: baked ziti and homemade bread. I’ve been busy this afternoon.
