From the Thanksgiving weekend, here are shots of my spirit peak, the waxing moon, our pumpkins before they left for the old folk’s home and a group of evening grosbeaks that we don’t often see.

Another round of snow and an answer to a mystery. For the last few weeks, a large hole has appeared under our bird feeder. Same place, same size. Our neighbors spotted a badger a few weeks ago, so I thought I’d put out the game camera to see if I could catch the wild excavator. It wasn’t a badger.

MetaFilter fundraiser 2022

Posted on November 16, 2022 by Jabo

I want to give a shout-out to a web site I’ve been following since 2001.

Metafilter.com is a wonderfully diverse online community whose members post “the best of the web”. It’s been my favorite online community for over 20 years.

Along with the main page, there are subsites like AskMefi where you can ask members questions, Fanfare to follow Movies and TV, Music where members post their latest songs and more. And it’s all moderated so trolls, hucksters and derails are quickly deleted… a rarity in social media.

The one-time $5 membership fee along with ad revenue, hasn’t been enough to keep up with the site’s growth. Take a look and if it appeals to you, consider joining and/or donating. For more about Mefi, check out the FAQ .

You can find me at https://www.metafilter.com/user/10362

Veteran’s Day 11_11_22

Posted on November 11, 2022 by Jabo

By John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
        In Flanders fields.

Fall colors along the Albuquerque Bosque 11_1_22

Posted on November 4, 2022 by Jabo

We spent Dia de los Muertos riding our bikes on the Paseo del Bosque bike trail in Albuquerque. The cottonwoods are now changing over to bright yellow and orange and it makes for a scenic bike ride.
