You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Love dogs. Gifts, each has quirks as we humans do.

Dig, roll in dead stuff/deer poop.

Being a dog.

Honest, true.

Colorful leaves on wet patio. Connecticut, October; a brush (so far) with powerful nor’easter.

Middlebury, Vermont USA • A late afternoon shadow, cast by a finial above the entry of the St. Stephen's Episcopal Church on Main Street. To me it looks like Homer, lead character from The Simpsons, an American TV show & movie.

This animation shows the winds are going to howl along parts of the northeastern United States coastline from a developing nor'easter tonight into Monday. High pressure over Atlantic Canada helps drive the high winds (pressure gradient) and also keeps this system south of the region... #nlwx
