I know, I know, a sunset photograph. Snore. But it’s not often I look out my window and gasp. I’ve never seen anything like the sunset we had tonight. I thought for a second something bad might be going on because helicopters are buzzing around, and they only buzz around when something bad happens, or if there’s a protest. I thought there might be some sort of chemical incident that created this. But I have a morbid imagination.

The helicopters are still flying around hours later, by the way. They keep circling.

– Still no mice sightings, and no evidence of mice (droppings)!

– The Library got a book I wanted via interlibrary loan and sent it to the branch closest to me!

– Finney is still alive!

– I finished the first draft of the epilogue for my book!

Some of the things Obama did for us that are still true today. (Not necessarily my favorites, which are: all he did to further scientific progress, slow down climate change, national healthcare, pardoning a lot of people, started the national conversation about racism which gave others their voice, like the Black Lives Matter movement, and that’s just off the top of my head.)

I went to see La La Land yesterday because I needed something happy and uplifting, and it was more complicated than that, which is not a bad thing of course, but still. Then I went home and binge-watched the tv show Search Party which was pretty much perfect, but … even more complicated. I recommend both, and I very strongly recommend Search Party. Except, be prepared for … complicated. A good complicated, but if you need uplifting, maybe save it for another day.

I took this shot because the decaying, discarded horse was so sad, and then I realized I might have been drawn to it because of a new series I like, People of Earth. (A similarly decaying, discarded horse is a plot point.) That would be a good show to binge-watch if you are looking for something sweet.

I’m heading out to Long Island later today, so good food and conversation is in my near future! In the meantime …

The cats are nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of tortured mice dance in their heads.

I had all sorts of various ideas about what I might do today, but I’m feeling so tired I might just curl up on the couch and read and watch tv. Update: That’s all I’ve done so far!

A couple of shots a block away from my apartment.
