Jailbreak!

Jailbreaking: With me, it’s much more likely to refer to hacking (to get into a phone) than freeing myself from a penal institution.

However, for me, it’s a different story today, and it is REDEMPTION from 2019’s FlubruAAAAARRRRRGHY!

Relativity Redux

I have written several blog posts about temperature relativity, usually during the spring when I’m talking about how warm it feels when it “finally” reaches 40 degrees after the deep freeze.

This time, it’s Looney Tunes style. However, this post is more of a movie or a four-part TV episode! Thankfully, you can binge read it; I’m not splitting this post into episodes.

Nightfall comes later #writephoto

On Christmas Day, I wrote about time. Specifically, the days of the week and the lack of knowledge of them when on vacation.

This time, I’m talking about the day itself, with a beautiful photo provided by Sue Vincent for the #writephoto prompt.

And unlike previous prompts, this prompt is not poetic nor fictional, but personal reflections.

 

The sun behind the bare branches of winter trees in a blue sky darkened by clouds.
