Another phone shot (hence the smaller size) from Wednesday. Mostly I just wanted to get this link up to the article in the Times about solar storms that made me think long and focused about disaster preparedness. We were talking about the meteor in Siberia last night. Luckily it was not an area where Olga's family is from; but somebody's family lives there. It was one heck of a lucky break, apparently, that it hit where and when it did. I heard the audio for the first time yesterday.

With all that said I intend to fully inhabit and appreciate this beautiful spring day here in the Pacific Northwest.
