I was keeping an eye on the weather yesterday--but then again, I'm often keeping an eye on the weather. In the late afternoon, the sky got dark, sunset dark, but we were far away from sunset. The thunderstorm watch was upgraded to a warning, and the wind picked up. I plugged in my phone; I...

...that we may have to break it into parts. Might as well get the nastiness out of the way first. Hurricane Helene was in the news a lot starting September 24. Supposedly this monster was due to gather a lot of strength and not lose it after it crossed the Florida/Georgia line. I immediately began...

A METAR map is a custom-made map with LED lights positioned at selected airports or reporting stations. The lights change color to indicate weather conditions based on METAR reports via internet. I’ve wanted to make a METAR map for a few years and finally took the plunge, and I’m thrilled with the...

Every year I post 100 of my favorite photos from the year’s travels. As part of my photo-editing process, I edit my photos chronologically. This means that the more travel or photo-intensive my trips are, the longer it tends to take me to close out a year. This is why this post comes in September,...
