July 02, 2022 – #CrescentMoon at Sunset, Austin Texas
I hoped, in yesterday’s post, I might be able to post this sunset off our balcony – a crescent moon floating above the sea of crimson orange air – and am so glad I could 🙏

July 01, 2022 – Our First Pigeon at Our New Place Shows Up for Food, Atop Our New Ivy Screen
Sheila and I’ve gotten to experience several 1st’s since moving into The LadyBird here in Austin, so it was specially nice when two 1st’s joined to make a memorable image through our window –

June 12, 2022 – Continuing Our Move to #TheLadyBird #AustinTexas Despite 100+ Degree Heat & AC Going Out – Whew!!!
First our thermostat went out at our current apt, then the capacitor – fortunately the weekend emergency person got it fixed and started dropping our indoor temp from 84 downward ( and that 84 was with floor and ceiling fans on and ALL windows darkened to outside light sources, lol! Word is “lots” of folks…

June 09, 2022 – A Long Day Made Mostly So By Too Long A Day of Heat
Sheila and I hold up pretty good, eating well, exercising indoors, and continuing to transition to our new home in a 55+ community ( The Lady Bird ) making trips with delicate and other items til the movers come in for the big move next week 😊 But it’s a longer than need-be slog cause…

June 06, 2022 – A Mish-Mash of a Day Because of the Heat! 100s+ Going 10 Days Out! #AustinTexas
Hard to keep preparing for our move to a new location here in Austin ( hoping to sign the paperwork this Monday ), do any art, or much anything else besides chomp on cold chunks of watermelon, when the weather is do a summer flip-flop from the last 2 winters dregs we’ve had recently, lol!

February 07, 2022 – Austin Winter Storm, A Tale of Two Cities Repeat? – Day 5, I Think We Dodged a Bullet – Temperature Comparison Charts For Austin / Galveston / San Antonio / Houston / Brownsville 2021 / 2022
Upfront, before I get started, clearly we were much more prepared grid-wise than last year, and clearly this year’s winter storm ( 2022 ) though bad, was not a strong comparable to 2021 in duration, temperature depths & breath across our state. And for me, I’m very thankful for all those factors. But there is…

February 06, 2022 – Austin Winter Storm, A Tale of Two Cities Repeat? We Hope Not – Day 4, Recovering
I’d hope to get a nicely detailed post with lots of images to discuss, as much as a regular citizen w/out much input or info can do, how this month’s winter storm compares to last year’s ( literally ) deadly ice freeze, and I will, but it looks to be for tomorrow ( Monday )…

February 05, 2022 – Austin Winter Storm, A Tale of Two Cities Repeat? We Hope Not – Day 3, Almost in the Clear?
While extremely grateful our own electricity and heat and ( eventually ) internet held during this year’s early February winter storm here in Austin, and am also both surprised and equally thankful the state’s power grid held in general this time around, compared to last year’s mid February storm, there are a few things to…

February 04, 2022 – Austin Winter Storm, A Tale of Two Cities Repeat? We Hope Not – Day 2, Holding On, Better Than Last Year ( so far )
Posting new updates to top of post — 7:48 am – still have power, and internet; news showing huge # of wrecks and big trees down, temps in low 20s; this being “a” winter storm vs 5 last year is sure helping though; keeping our fingers crossed, facets dripping, and keeping the coffee warm ☕️…

February 03, 2022 – Austin Winter Storm, A Tale of Two Cities Repeat? We Hope Not – Updating as Able
I posted an initial post this morning that I’d prepared the night before not knowing if we’d have power or internet etc this morning and woke at 5:30am to no internet. Using my phone as a hot spot I updated the post, and now’ve decided a new post with updates throughout the day might be…

February 03, 2022 – Austin Winter Storm, A Tale of Two Cities Repeat? We Hope Not
Two weeks shy of the day I posted the above pic at the start of Texas’ worst power / weather event I’ve lived through here in Texas, or anywhere else, during my 71 years – I’m reposting this not in memory, or memoriam for all those we lost, but because we’re literally on the cusp…

October 19, 2021 – Turning 71 Feels Like Turning on the Spigots!
I’ve meandered around what to write for my birthday post this year, probably reflecting not exactly the chaos (though there’s enough of that, lol!) but the whirl of activity in my life right now – fitness activities, art – of all kind, family, and the stutteringly slow but certain shift from unbearable 6 month summer…

May 02, 2021 – Contemplation Sunday : Moving During COVID-19, Exploring New Surroundings, Family, Art
“Sunshine and higher temps broke out after nearly a week of slight to moderate rain and cloud cover…Like most things in life, the cooling off before the big heat of summer was a welcome relief, and the return of sunshine and ability to get around with slip-sliding was also. Variability, in some things, must be…

February 25, 2021 – Austin Winter Storm, Is It a Wrap?
Is our #TexasFreeze winter storm over? A wrap? Done and ready to be forgotten?
-
February 22, 2021 – Austin Winter Storm, Power is On, Water is Running, Boil Ban is Canceled, and – I Shaved!
It’s hard to express the relief in again having the taken-for-granted luxury of running water, power to heat and cool our air and bodies, and being able to stand with family, even if for a short time, even if we knew we’d all four had to have been social distancing / masking – even if…

February 21, 2021 – Austin Winter Storm, Hope is a Wet Blue Line and One Brave Bird in a Tree
My apologies for the break in communication continuity since yesterday morning – it’s been a rough but promising ride, and, I got my own answer as to how come the phrase/idea, “Why the Caged Bird Sings” has always appealed to me 😊

February 16, 2021 – Austin Winter Storm, A Tale of Two Cities
Info is coming out of ignored warnings within our Texas energy company re mis-use of power margins (I don’t know the details) and warnings of energy crunches, especially during our seemingly unending hot summers. The local news calls it “a lot of finger pointing.”

February 15, 2021 – Austin Winter Storm, Looks Pretty, Feels Terrible, No Power 14+ Hours
Sheila and I’ve been through 2 weeks without power in Galveston, after Hurricane Alicia, and I went through Hurricane Carla in Houston over 3 days in ’61, but this we-ain’t-built-for-it single digit cold and below zero wind shield has literally shut down the entire Texas power grid!

February 14, 2021 – The Weather in Austin May Affect My Posting, Just Not Sure How Yet 😏
Temperatures here in Austin are predicted to drop and stay around the temps Sheila and I experience in ’89 when we moved here from Galveston, ie, mid to low single digits. Records in this area going back to the 1800s put that at #4 on the all time lows list!
