This is CogDogBlogged: "Roll Your Own Mastodon Starter Kits" It looks like there is a crowd rush to jump from The Platform I will Only Ever Call Twitter to Bluesky. Huge numbers.

This is the view from the shoulder of southbound Arizona Highway 87. Technically, I think this is Slate Creek Pass, a climb both north and south on 87 as it wraps around Mt Ord. I used to call it "Half Pay" because it seemed halfway between Phoenix and Payson-- Half Way to Payson. Can I have my own personal geography? Those that have been here a while while remember not so fondly the older one lane version of the highway that snaked the other way past Sunflower (the old road is now closed in the middle, no shortcuts), and the fun it was getting stuck behind a lumbering hay truck or bloated Winnebago. And those older than me will tell you of the non-paved version of the Beeline, when one lane was the whole stretch. Sp yes, it is gloomy, not Postcard-ific Arizona. There is a story. Back home in Strawberry, I had the mixed pleasure of seeing 5 or 6 inches of snow from the first real winter storm. Seeing snow is always fun, but I was worried as tomorrow I am scheduled to fly out of Phoenix in the morning, and with my little car, I was concerned about getting down icy highways in the morning, especially as I figured I needed to leave at 7:30am, and the plow only came out today after 8. And the forecast suggested there was a window this afternoon when it would be more rain, so I decided to come down a day early to make sure I could get to the airport in the morning. So I lapsed on getting pretty fluffy snow pictures back home. As it turned out the roads were perfectly clear. The Arizons traffic map indicated icy roads north and south of Pine, but everything was just wet. The highway plows must have been going strong. So it was just a gray, dense, moody sky drive down to "The Valley" (like there are no others, eh?). Wednesday and Thursday are supposed to bring some bigger storms, sadly I will miss the big piles of snow. But winter is just off the starting line, and I expect more!
