Grandma's day in 1998: Up 7:30. Tea, etc. Drug Emporium, got some vitamins. Wrote Justine about Dr. Edell. To post office. Cold. Some TV. Frasier, Dharma & Gregg. Finished papers. thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2023/02/my-g...

Still smiling about this magazine full of great photographs printed by Photoworks in San Francisco. And not just because my photos are in it! thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2026/02/the-...

Commemorating firsts: first sunset wearing shorts, 2026.

Trees on fire. But in a good way.

What's beautiful but cold and never gets old unless you have to drive in it? ❄️ Snow! 🤍

Deer I saw today probably thinking: "What are you doing on our trail, and why are you out in the rain, silly human?!"

Best Valentine's gift yet? A litter grabber! ❤️ #litterpicker #litterpicking youtube.com/shorts/t-DtJ...

I didn’t see many movies in January, but those I did watch packed a surprisingly satisfying punch, as all three featured women defying the control of others to carve new paths for their lives. thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2026/02/movi...

Best medicine after you lose your dog? A big dose of other people's dogs!

Today in 1999: To Sears, looked for pants. Also Mervyn’s. No luck. To Kmart for lunch and looked for pants. To Trader Joe’s, got carrots. Mail: Check for $8.07 from Medicare? Again TV Guide wrong. Law & Order, bed early. More of grandma's days here: thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2024/02/my-g...

The benches of Mendocino County: This piece of art was made with salvaged wood, and is extra wide so that the eight siblings of the woman it honors could all sit there togther. www.ukiahdailyjournal.com/2026/01/28/n...

Look who's blooming! 😍 #FlowerReport

Three cool things about Navarro Point: 1. It is never crowded. 2. It makes me feel like I've flown to Ireland. 3. It has the coolest memorial bench. youtu.be/ZN7fY3-UzIg

"I want to be her," I said of the woman in her 80s I saw swimming in Big River. "You can!" another woman in her 60s declared immediately. That was super cool. thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2026/01/the-...

When I am in my 60s, 70s and even 80s, I want to be like these women: Swimming in the wild together! #lifeafter50 youtu.be/oq-MNsz5LZc?...

These Mendocino County woman started swimming in the river because Covid closed public pools. Nearly six years later, they still swim together every day.

Today's super cool find: Shooting star!

"Song Sung Blue" made me blue, because much like Jackman’s Lightning refusing to start concerts with the fan favorite “Sweet Caroline,” this movie didn’t give the audience what it wanted: to sing some fun songs with some fun, good-looking people. thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2026/01/movi...

Love is ... accepting your wife's litter-picking compulsion! More December litter picks here: youtube.com/shorts/OHQJr... #litterpicking #litterpicker

My favorite movie I saw in December was also my favorite Christmas present this year, since it gifted me 90-plus minutes of hanging out with three of my favorite people: Jack Black, Paul Rudd, and a beloved family member. thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2026/01/movi...

So excited to find some wildflowers this week: Bright pink Hound's Tongue blooming strong on Jan. 2! #FlowerReport #wildflowers

The best thing I did in 2025 was also the craziest: Driving several hours just to see a big wooden troll. thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2025/12/that...

What do Elle Fanning as C-3PO and Joaquin Phoenix battling a penis monster have in common? They were both in movies I saw in November. thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2025/12/movi...

Look at all these mushrooms I found in the forest! Happy #fungifriday More fungi friends here: youtube.com/shorts/YFlhs...

Bumpersticker that made me smile today: "I'd rather be slowly consumed by moss."

Leaves and pink sky.

California poppy blooming on the last day of November, 2025. #FlowerReport

“NOAA Research costs every American citizen less than a cup of coffee a year, with large returns on this small investment," writes @weatherwest.bsky.social And I'd happily pay even more for the National Weather Service's Forecast Discussion! thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...

Mushroom we met today. 🍄 While I was filming, a young guy rode by on an electric skateboard and asked what we found. "Just a cool mushroom," I said. "I love mushrooms!" he said. #mushrooms #MushroomMonday

The litter I picked up this week was soggy! 🌧️ #litterpicking #litterpicker
