About time Apple Music shows are available in Apple Podcasts. Now, imagine this, I can resume playing shows anytime & easily know what I’ve listened to 🙄 Mainly I listen to Strombo.

In Northern California’s Fall, our whole house fan really shines. We can bring in cooler air at night when there’s no wind. The modern models are not very loud! So our AC (heat pump) is off for the season now. That’s a bit earlier than usual as we often need a bit of cooling at night for sleep.

Got out to the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge this morning. The White Fronted Geese are here (along with many small migratory song birds)! #WhiteFrontedGoose Five Greater White Fronted Geese flying in a clear sky. They have bright white chests and tails. Their belly is striped with black. Their wings are gray. The photo is very soft or slightly blurry.

Covid 💉✅ Flu 💉✅

At KSFO, just outside BART, is a pretty great view of the west side of G terminal. It’s easy to miss coming and going. #AvGeek #KSFO #B777 #B787 #FujifilmUnited 787 (N45956) and United 777 (N796UA) parked at the KSFO G gates. and Air New Zealand 777 (ZK-DKN) is at stand in the far distance. It’s a clear day save the fog bank on the horizon to the northwest.

From the KSFO Terminal 2 Sky Terrace. I didn’t have my telephoto lens so I embraced the glass panes. Lufthansa 747-8 (D-ABYL) SFO-FRA #B748 #KSFO #AvGeek #Fujifilm

Covid booster and flu shots scheduled for next Friday! 🎉

We sometimes spoil our resident scrub jays with sunflower heads loaded with seeds. A juvenile Western Scrubjay looks down at a seed-filled sunflower head that’s on the ground. It is framed by a gravel pathway and some dry grass. Gray down is still on the bird’s back.

So long, Google Chrome. The last straw has come.

I finally deleted my Twitter account. Even having an inactive account felt icky. And really really awful and gross over the last couple of days.

Mastodon.
