This butterfly sat on my finger for a while yesterday for my bit of serenity and just enough time to use my other hand and pull out my phone to take some photos.

Yes! Good people in local politics is key to fixing this country. We know a state senator in VT who might have some helpful advice about running for office. DM me if you are interested in connecting with her.

Hopefully a little rain tonight. There is some bird poop stuck on my windshield that I’d like to wash off before leaving for Sacramento tomorrow morning.

A couple more photos from Greenland. It wasn’t all icebergs (as much as I love them). Arctic fox and an arctic hare (I just call them bunnies).

I still have ~6000 images from Greenland to sort through. At least they are downloaded from my camera memory cards. Here are a couple of iphone photos for now.

Some good news from space, as the NASA-ISRO NISAR mission publishes its first synthetic aperture radar images of Earth. This spacecraft has a heckin' big antenna (a dish 12 meters across) for bouncing L- and S-band (25- and 10-cm) radio waves off the surface www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-is...
