Sky was on one last night

I juuuust missed the peak of the orange, but it was still pretty good.

Getting closer

Spring training has started and in his first at bat of the preseason, Juan Soto hit a home run.

I love watching baseball anyway, but having the Mets spend money and improve the roster has me eagerly awaiting Opening Day.

From the always odd and occasionally stressful Crisis Acting IG account.

More snow? More snow.

We got whacked with some more winter weather this week. Roads were a mess getting home last night, but at least our street looks peaceful.

Frosty

Yesterday’s snow turned into a great deal of ice overnight.

Limbs down all along the street, too.

Not awesome.

Annual Spider Game

I used to be a good ol’ season ticket holder to University of Richmond basketball. It was a great deal of fun, but I rotated out of it. I still try to get a game or two each season, but it sure is hard to watch. It’s not an exciting offense and the energy in the room is terrible.

Inked

Man, I’ve been messing with fountain pens for a little while now and this is the first time I’ve had the inky fingers this bad.

It’s going to take a week to wear off. Yuck.

My Vanishing Point was acting up and I tried to hot swap the cartridge without getting up from the desk or doing any of the prep a smart person would do when changing inks. I also got a good bit of ink on my desk pad. I don’t think I’ll replace it yet, though.

It’s a trash app

A three-song Discover Weekly? Really?

This app is junk.

Winter clouds

We’re due to get some more weather in the next couple of days. I’ve got apps and I pay attention to the local weatherman, but sometimes the sky will tell you.

Last night

The moon, and Saturn, and some dusky clouds.
