On a windy shore, near the Arctic Circle, we paused to look at the sheep, tucked in the rocks, under the table.

It wasn't until looking at the pictures later that we noticed the sea creature, hiding in plain view, made of shadow and light.

Fun but faint!

These slight marks in solid granite around #DonnerSummit were made by wagon wheels when that was a major mode of tranaport out to #California in the rush for gold.

I wish this interview focused on her forward direction thoughts. THAT's the public conversation millions of Americans are thirsting for.

Naval gazing on Biden is a waste of time we don't have.

Stopping the greedy #AI feeding frenzy is logical. But could we - actually - do it BEFORE experiencing a crisis?

"The issue is not malice but mismatch: a system that understands its instructions too literally, with the power to act cleverly and swiftly."

Reason for hope.

Good news feels illusive these days but when we look to our own communities, we see it's been there all along.

We have to make an effort to focus and celebrate the goodness of our neighbors! 👏👏👏🥰

Fame and exploitation.

Theoretically and morally, it seems like a person should have control of their own life story.

Perhaps 'rightful owners' are the people who can make the most money.

It's reminiscent of the #PhineasGage story with a modern twist. 😔
