Annular Eclipse 10_14_23

Posted on October 15, 2023 by Jabo

We watched the annular eclipse from our front yard and I got some shots but missed the ring, doh! We also recreated the photo we took at Moraine Park in Rocky Mt. National Park during the eclipse of 2017.

Fall photographic history of Aspen Vista

Posted on October 13, 2023 by Jabo

16 years of essentially the same shot on the Aspen Vista Trail in the Santa Fe National Forest above Santa Fe, New Mexico (except for 2005, when we discovered the side trail that led up to the view of the Rio Grande Valley and Tetilla Peak). I’ll post more photos from 2023 in a bit. We love Fall in New Mexico!

El Ranchos de Las Golondrinas 10_8_23

Posted on October 11, 2023 by Jabo

We went to the 51st Fall Harvest Festival at Las Golondrinas; a living history museum of the Spanish colonial settlers of New Mexico. Cottonwoods would normally be turning orange but it was still too warm. We had fun exploring all the buildings and learning from the docents who volunteer to re-enact the lives of the past residents.

South Carolina 9_2023

Posted on October 2, 2023 by Jabo

Took a wonderful trip to see good friends in Greenville, South Carolina and were treated to the many beautiful tree covered mountains and gurgling streams. Nice to get a dose of green (and the cool temperatures and low humidity made it even better!).

Bring out your dead 9_14_23.

Florida Office of the Surgeon General.

The State of Florida has issued an advisory regarding the updated Covid booster, declaring that no one under the age of 65 should get the vaccine. According to the Governor, “I will not stand by and let the FDA and CDC use healthy Floridians as guinea pigs for new booster shots that have not been proven safe or effective.”

So why isn’t this the case for the most vulnerable (and perhaps largest percentage of Florida’s population) who are over 65? If this vaccine is as dangerous and ineffective as they assert… why is it ok for Florida’s older citizens to act as “guinea pigs”? I suspect that the Governor and his ilk know that if these folks follow his unsubstantiated advice (as many will do anyway), a number of them will end up terminally unwoke.
