I have not been feeling well these past few days. Cold & runny nose have prevented me from running. Instead, enjoy a scene of snow falling in front of my house. #running #snow

From my comics collection, Wonder Woman 139. Starting a new direction for the title, Erik Luke, Yannick Paquette & Bob McLeod start off with a simple story with wonder woman just taking down some standard bad guys. #comics

From my comics collection, Robin 14 by Chuck Dixon, Tom Grummett & Ray Krysing. Concluding a 4 part crossover with the other batbooks, our duo have to fight hard against villains intent on destroying the city. #comics

From my comics collection, Fantastic Four 207, guest starring Spider-Man by @xmmarv.bsky.social, Sal Buscema & Joe Sinnott. It's more of a SM issue than a FF issue as it picks up from ASM 193. It's always a treat to see these 2 characters teaming up. #comics

The Robots of Dawn by Isaac Asimov. I liked it well enough, but the conversations are long, like I mean if I talked that long, my voice would be croaking for days. The other negative is Daneel. He's a background character. Elijah does well despite the incredible pressure he's under. #booksky

Star Trek The Next Generation Season 2. It's much better than season 1. There are some classic episodes in there, but still some clunkers. So, it's a better series, but not yet an excellent one. Of note in the bluray set is the extended version of "Measure of a Man" with good extra scenes. #startrek

In 2000, these ads were appearing in the backs of DC Comics issues: The Lobo & Gotham Girls webisodes. I remember these being fun. The Lobot eps were crazy violent, but that fit with Lobo. The GG eps were girl power & worked really well. #comics

This afternoon's run was a bit longer than I expected. I ran some of the side trails & ended up doing 0.5km more than I usually do. Felt good though. Maybe I am ready to do more. I'll try again in a couple of days & see how it goes. Met up with 1 runner, waved hello. #running

From my comics collection, JLA 50-54 by @markwaid.bsky.social @bryanhitch.bsky.social (and other pencillers on 50) Paul Neary (and other inkers on 50). To rebuild trust, Superman & Batman decide to reveal their secret identities to the entire team. #comics

This afternoon's run was a bit hard. We got some snow early this morning. Crews did not clean up the park, so the trails were just walked on. That made them lumpy. The weather was pretty good. It was warm enough that I ran with a headband. Met up with 1 runner, waved hello. #running

This morning's run went really well. Temperatures were minus 5°, no wind & strong sun. I felt good during the entire run. I decided to stop at a different location for my stretch break. Not sure if that was good or bad yet. I will try it again another day. #running

Idiot nazi kid doesn't understand that he's now ruined it for all of his evil nazi brethren. Since it's now demonstrated that these pro-ice nazi signs result in punches, the schools will now be empowered to ban these signs to prevent violence. Nazi morons are such morons.

How did crazy "event" comics mess up comics in the early 90's? I present Deathmate. Things were already getting bad, but the ad below promised this was going to be the hottest "event" ever. Instead, it turned into the biggest mess & heralded the start of the comics collapse of the 90's. #comics

From my comics collection, the Venom Lethal Protector limited series. Spinning out (get it?) out of Spider-Man, Venom is finally given his own mini-series by David Michelinie, Mark Bagley, Ron Lim, Sam DeLarosa & Al Milgrom. #comics #venom

This afternoon's run went better than I expected. It was snowing, but it was not a wet snow, so stayed drier than I expected. Only my feet ended up damp due to the trials being a bit snow covered & not yet groomed. #running

Just picked this up from @thecomichunter.bsky.social . This is a reprint of the 1981 Treasury Edition of the 2nd Superman/Spider-man special. In this issue, our heroes take on Doctor Doom & the Parasite with a number of special guest starts along for the ride. #comics

The late afternoon runs are starting to get better. The sun is now setting at 5:35PM, 1 hour later than mid-december. The run itself went well. I tried a route with different side trails. They were lumpy & I was a bit tired at the end. Met up with 1 runner, waved hello. #running

From my comics collection, the 1992 Annuals for Captain America, Thor, Fantastic Four & Avengers. The main story has the team dealing with Kang's machinations. Also included are short stories & pinups like Kang's history, top 10 villains, technology profiles. #comics

This morning's run was good. Even though it was minus 8°, I dressed lightly as it was sunny with no wind. Glad I did. All trails continue to be snow covered & dry. That makes good footing. Met up with 1 cross country skier & 6 runners, waved hello. #running

Saw chickadees & woodpeckers while walking in Irishtown Nature Park today. #bird

While taking a walk in the woods today, I took a photo of this Chickadee picking up a seed. #bird

From my comics collection, Avengers 236 & 237 by Roger Stern, Al Milgrom & Joe Sinnott. One of the many times that Marvel teased Spider-Man joining the Avengers (spoilers, not this time), this 2 parter sees them taking on a number of SM villains. #comics

I'm noticing a lot of people are using the Chat GPT photo to animation feature to turn their faces into animated versions. They do understand though, that Open AI (the owners of Chapt GPT) are probably keeping the actual photos in their database, right? #chatgpt #openai

This afternoon's run started off a bit odd. My left leg below my knee was feeling tired. During my stretch break, I noticed my sneaker was a bit loose. Re-tied that up. Leg was then much better. Met up with 1 runner, waved hello. Then met up with a loose dog, wasn't happy with the owners. #running

From my comics collection, X-Force 25 (a X-Men 30th anniversary issue) by @fabiannicieza.bsky.social , Greg Capullo & 7 inkers. In this issue, Cable returns to the team, locates his base Graymalkin & takes on Magneto. #comics

This afternoon's run was a welcome change due to the warmer temperatures at zero degrees. I was dressed lightly, but had to take off my gloves at one point. During the 2nd half of my run, I encountered about 50 crows all cawing loudly (see the 2nd post for the video). #running

Borrowed @kurtbusiek.bsky.social Astro City volume 1 from the public library. I liked it very much. I'm definitely interested in more, but this is the only volume that the library has. I might pay a visit to my local comic shop. #comics

From my comics collection, Detective Comics 682 by Chuck Dixon, Graham Nolan & Scott Hanna. Continuing a 4 part story running through the Batman Titles. #comics

Today's run was paradoxically not as cold as yesterday at minus 5°, but colder because there was no sun. Winter is so weird. I tried a 7km circuit that I had done before via the side trails. It went well. The trails are hard packed, so there's good footing. #running

Today's run was a bit fun, not just because of the slightly warmer temperatures at minus 7°. I met a photographer who pointed out a Pileated Woodpecker high above. One minute later, I saw a Hairy Woodpecker at my eye level, 2 meters away. Cool #running

From my comics collection, The Doctor Fate mini-series from late 2003 early 2004. Featuring the Hector Hall incarnation of the character, it sees him go up against an old enemy of Nabu called Kurse. Written by Christopher Golden. Art by Don Kramer & Prentice Rollins. All covers by Paul Rivoche.

Today's run was a bit cooler. Temperature started at minus 8° & ended at minus 10°. The trails are good. Even the side trails have had enough traffic on it, though they are rough, I have to run a bit slower. Towards the end, I was getting cold, so finished just in time. #running

From my comics collection, Showcase 94 #12. Containing 3 stories for Oracle (Barbara Gordon), Ballistic, and Triumph. I bought it because I thought that this new character Triumph had potential. Unfortunately, bad writing & DC indifference turned him into a bad character. #comics

After many days of intense cold, it was nice to get a slight break & get back on the trails for a run. After yesterday's snowfall, the side trails for Mapleton Park are not all clear, so I was running in 20 cm deep snow. Aside from that, the main trails were excellent. Good run. #running

Finished reading Marvel Team Up Omnibus Volume 1. Most have Spider-Man as the lead character, but some feature the Human Torch instead. I liked a lot of the stories. A few, especially the supernatural ones, don't feel right for SM. Bring on Volume 2. #comics #spiderman

From my comics collection, The Transformers War & Peace mini series from Dreamwave, this is the 2nd mini series that they did. Written by Brad Mick with art by Pat Lee (grrr...) and Rob Armstrong, the story gets a bit more complex & I was looking forward to more. #comics #transformers

One Punch Man ワンパンマン Season 3. Oof, I am not blaming the director nor the animators for this lacklustre season. The blame lies 100% on the producers for the very low budget allocation that really hurts the action scenes. There are a few funny moments, but I found a lot of jokes fell flat. #anime

Kind of cut this afternoon's run short. While the temperature was only minus 6°, the strong cold wind just cut through the forest. It was hard to stay warm. The run itself went well. The trails are well groomed: it's a good surface to run on. Took a twilight photo of the moon. #running #moon

I think that my daughter likes @goraina.bsky.social . These are all French language translations, but it shows that good comics are for everyone. #comics

From my comics collection, Fantastic Four Annual 17. Tying all the way back to FF #2 & the Kree Skrull War in Avengers 89-97, John Byrne somehow writes & draws a story that could have been the worst idea ever, but somehow executes it well enough. #comics

From my comics collection, JLA Secret Files & Origins #2. Featuring a lead story by Christopher Priest, Yanick Paquette & Mark Lipka, this leads into the new lineup for JLA 16. The rest is a tour of the watchtower & profile pages of new members & 1 villain. I also have a sticker sheet. #comics

Some more photos of this evening's Tuesday January 20 2026 spectacular auroras, this time with my SLR camera. I'm a bit out of focus and the camera lens is a bit dirty. It was so cold with high winds that it was hard setting up the camera properly. #auroras

This evening's Tuesday January 20 2026 spectacular auroras north of my city. We observed 3 activity pulses with some calmer periods. #auroras

This afternoon's run was a bit cold. while it was only minus 5°, there already was a very strong wind. While the forest blocked most of it, it still felt cold. Wanting to stay inside the park, I did various side trails that kept me insulated from most of the wind. #running

From my comics collection, a 1992 summer crossover using the 3 Spiderman annuals & New Warriors annual by David Michelinie, @fabiannicieza.bsky.social, Scott McDaniel, Brendan Peterson & Keith Williams. Spidey & the Warriors fight a lot of bad guys fronted by an initially mysterious villain. #comics

While taking a short drive this afternoon, my wife & I stopped to take photos of the forest covered by freshly fallen snow. #snow

This afternoon's run was a shorter run. Last night's snow made the trails a bit less icy, so I could run at a good clip for most of it. It was also quite buy, I was zigzagging a lot. A run or walk in the forest after a snowfall is so great. It's great scenery. #running

A good run this morning. Temperatures are back below freezing at minus 5°. That has hardened up & dried the trails leaving my sneakers less muddy. The side trails are icy, so had to be careful there. #running

Picked up Superman vs The Amazing Spiderman from @thecomichunter.bsky.social . This is a reprint of the 1976 DC & Marvel Crossover treasury special. It's huge & beautiful. The most pleasant surprise: it's not printed on magazine glossy paper, but on newspaper. I love it. #comics #superman #spiderman

Today's run was on foggy trails. We had a lot of rain this morning. With temperatures at plus 6°, that created foggy conditions. On the more positive side, since it was warm, I could dress lightly. The trails themselves were wet in some areas. My feet did get wet a bit. #running
