Just to be clear, I think it’s a great thing, teaching all school children to learn Arabic numerals. We need to get them started young, so they can build on it for the rest of their lives. ;-)

Enjoying some bird viewing during a short hike at the big lagoon in Humboldt county #addBirder

My heart goes out to the families of the 64 people who lost their lives in the AA5342 midair last night. Aircraft crashes always hit me hard, with my Dad and I having been active in aviation for decades. Eerily reminiscent of PSA182. First fatal US airline crash in 16 years. So sad.

Chilly 27°F Saturday, heading down to 9° tonight. It snowed lightly most of the day. I enjoyed today’s snow from the comfort of the DC-3 cockpit, flying from Cold Bay, AK to Dutch Harbor. The kitties enjoyed their view of the deck, squirrels, and birds. Then I went out and shoveled off the driveway…

Quiet Monday, ending the day at -5°F. Nice to see the kitties cuddling up together, as they’re usually in different spots around the room.

With temperatures below 0°F in Littleton, CO, the birds have been especially active outside our kitchen window. #birds

Cold -3°F Sunday morning, with more snow from last night...
