I grabbed this image and sent it to my brother @stevendbrewer, saying “I guess I don’t need to get to Yellowstone now.”

Then Winfield Village sent me this text:

UREGENT MESSAGE FROM ILLINOIS AMERICAN WATER A main water line into the property has broken and a boil order is in effect until 5:30 pm.

Walking Ashley gets me out around dawn every morning, giving me a chance to get a dawn photo most days. I kind of enjoy the mix of spectacular ones along with the more pedestrian ones. Here’s a few from the days leading up to the equinox:

Sunrise over the prairie
Sun over the detention pond by the prairie
Sun behind the tree beyond Dohme Park
Sun rising due east over the sidewalk, the morning before the equinox
Sunbeams from the just-risen sun across the grassy sward next to the prairie
Dawn sky beyond the Dohme Park sign

To celebrate the equinox (actually because our dog is spending the day at Canine Academy) we’ve come to Seven Saints for lunch. I’ve got a Voodoo Ranger, while Jackie is drinking a Starcut Squishy cider.

“To take the dog for a walk safely, you have to pay attention to the dog, and to the surroundings—people, squirrels, other dogs… It’s a lot like multitasking.”

Wanted an extra loaf as a gift, so I made double the dough and divided it. Took maybe 15 minutes longer than just one loaf would have, so pretty quick and easy.

I write science fiction and fantasy stories.

I speak Esperanto, and use it to communicate internationally. Esperantistoj, legu mian esperantan hejmpaĝon.

For a while I taught Taiji.

For eleven years I was a senior writer at Wise Bread, writing about personal finance and frugality.

Before that I spent a quarter-century as a software engineer.

I'm creating an email newsletter for this blog. Subscribe here:
