September 5, 2020. Weather report ‘nuff said.
Retirement. It’s bittersweet, for me.
Tomorrow, Monday, August 31, will be my last working day at my current job, which I have held for 12-2/3 years. That's the longest I have ever worked at any job in my entire working life. My original goal in life was to work forever, and never retire. Well, the Wuhan Coronavirus put an end …

For this week, bloggers pick one or more of the following words, to illustrate with their photos. The words are: Growing, Crowded, Tangled, Exuberant, and Comfortable.
