Brittle star vs. Squid! Ophiuroids only appear dainty & harmless. Another cool moment from #OkeanosExplorer #MarineLife youtu.be/oHN4sWAuBVc?...

This looks awesome. Daughter printed menus in Italian.

I have the new Thomas Pynchon novel. It was to have been a Christmas present for Sean. I’ve never read any TP, but Sean was a big fan. Perhaps I’ll figure out why! It’s only 293 pages; I’m just going to dive in and give it a go.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Whooping cough is PREVENTABLE with vaccines—but under RFK Jr.’s anti-vax and quack science directives, the Trump admin is turning back the clock on critical public health progress. Our children and families deserve so much better.

Bit by bit, PG&E restores power in San Francisco everywhere except my house. I’ve decided my retribution for a freezer of thawed meat will be feeding chicken thighs to the coyotes in Golden Gate Park. #SanFrancisco #PGE #CoyoteTimeYall

Messing around downtown a week before Christmas.

Might have to put this on the bucket list! www.singletracks.com/mtb-trails/t...

Had to share neighbor Jim Collun's early morning photo of Redwood Trail Giants in Henry Cowell State Park. It is a special place to be when the crowds are gone. #trees #nature #landscapephotography #photography

Watch to the end. Mother Nature is not messing around

Lovely hike today. The amber leaves on either side of this connecting trail add some colour to the snowy landscape 😊

My December yard work was supervised by this frog.

AI curious, I asked gpt-5 to show me a number tree diagram of the surreal numbers out to the omega birthday. Wrong - but I had to laugh 😆 #math

Right now, the future we’re building—where trails create new connections for people to safely walk, bike and be active outside—is under attack. Help us stand up for trails: RailsToTrails.org/GivingTuesday. #GivingTuesday 🎤 Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb, at RTC’s TrailNation Summit

Grateful for The People of the Library. Librarians and their staff are a necessary part of every community. They are true heroes. And Libby is a lifesaver for anyone who is not able to physically get to a library, and for materials not necessarily available at their local library. Thanks so much!

Look who visited us again late this afternoon! #BarredOwl 🪶

The crabapple tree makes its own ornaments and the cat does what he does.

Murmuration of Sandpipers this afternoon next to San Francisco Bay Trail. Brief appearance by a Cormorant who comes up for air, sees all the sandpipers and sinks back into the Bay. #birds #nature #eastcoastkin

It’s true! If you feel earthquake shaking or receive an earthquake alert, dive under a desk! Or as we like to say - drop, cover, and hold on.

from somewhere along Hwy 3 in the Trinity Mountains of California, here's a #scenic #scenery #mountain & #creek pic for #MountainMonday #nature #EastCoastKin

Sunday morning walk by the river and pumpkin field. We saw hundreds of ducks across the sky, a young eagle in a tree along the Tolt, a kingfisher on a telephone wire, two flickers in a tree, these noisy cowbirds.

Here’s momma & baby Mountain Goat from Glacier National Park for #stunday. Momma just wanted a nap, but baby was not about that life. This was the first time I’d ever seen a mountain goat. One constant in all these national park trips - I had no idea about the diversity of wildlife in this country

Today I was blessed with many newt sightings.

Ending NOAA’s partnership with the Alaska Earthquake Center means fewer seismic stations and slower, less accurate tsunami warnings for Alaska, Hawaiʻi, and the West Coast.

Today in Qualicum Beach (sound on)

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1889: Journalist Nellie Bly sets off on a trip around the world alone, attempting to beat the “record” set in Jules Verne’s fictional book, “Around the World in 80 Days.” She ultimately completed the journey in just 72 days, six hours and 11 minutes. /1

Light this morning. #morninglight #NewMexico #BlueSkyNature

Mathematicians recently built a “unified theory” of stalagmites, those dramatic spires that dot every subterranean landscape. 🧵

When Mom no longer intends to feed you anymore. Kayak Point and Port Susan, Puget Sound. Folk tending crab traps today from their kayaks, paddle boards and inflatables.

I will not let people forget that the same Republicans who did everything in their power to make tax breaks for billionaires PERMANENT refused to even negotiate ONE YEAR of health care tax credits for working families.

What everyone should understand is that Donald Trump could just pay SNAP benefits so people don't go hungry. He's choosing not to. He is choosing to appeal to SCOTUS. He is choosing cruelty.

Dark October walk this morning.

Just streamed the documentary "From Rails To Trails" on @pbs.org and WOW is it an amazing slice of American history and transportation advocacy. Highly recommend. @railstotrails.org work is such an embodiment of how good things don't just happen -- we have to organize & fight for them. Check it out

Its getting a little chilly but there's still a few days left in paddling season in the Green Mountains...just don't fall in! Hope you have a great day. #VT365 #Kayak #Canoe
