One of the good things about a growing but modest cap collection is organizing/finding them is not that big a deal. 😂

A tale of two mornings from my yard. A beautiful sunrise yesterday and a snowy start to today (4", which was a bit more than the trace-to-1" predicted).

A7 I felt I learned quite a bit about women's contributions to the World War II effort while with @kristamuscarella.bsky.social at the Rosie the Riveter NHS this past July.

A4. Glad you said favorite and not best, because seeing a manatee was just not something I expected while in Big Cypress back in January. #ParkChat

I just renewed my "America the Beautiful" pass for 2026...well, it's good through November 2026.
My local NPS site still has some of this year's cards so I'm spared the ignominy of carrying one around with
/his/ face on it.
If I manage any NPS travel in Dec 2026, I'll pay out of pocket.

Happy Thanksgiving!! Enjoy this old throwback of me, I believe after being "thrown out" of the kitchen and asked to keep my grandmother company. 😂

These are the seven National Parks I haven't visited yet. 2025 was the first year since 2014 where I didn't get to a new one or two. Or four.
I hope to shorten this list a bit next year.

These are most--if not all--of my Randy Jones baseball cards. Growing up in New York, he was one of those players I wish I got to see more of.

Yes, it's #NationalHikingDay. Throwing it back to my June trip, which included this stop and hike at the Buffalo National River.

A4 Yes! Many of my trips to NYS Parks this time of year are for foliage. Glimmerglass on the left, and Green Lakes on the right. #ParkChat

A6 Ohh, cantankerous might be the right way to describe Lake Ontario on this day. Water temps were 80 deg, but you'd never know it from looking at it. #ParkChat

1977 and 1978 were the first two seasons where I took a break from buying packs of baseball cards. In 1979, I came to my senses, and these are my first Blue Jays and Mariners cards...

It works both ways, though, doesn't it? Sometimes you don't see them getting that picture, and you're the one in the shot. 😉

I spent a few hours at nearby Washington's Crossing SHS just off the Hudson. It could be close to 10 years since I was here. Nice day exploring inside and out on the grounds there.
