Recently discovered an iPhone astrophotography app named “Nocturne”. It converts the phone camera into a low end smart telescope. It takes multiple short exposures and stacks then to produce one relatively low noise image. And there are overlays to show what you’ve captured. Here’s tonight’s effort.

Made the cranberry-tangerine relish for tomorrow’s dinner. Requires a food processor, but it’s pretty easy. Half pkg of cranberries, zest and juice from one Halo tangerine, 1/3 to 1/2 cup of sugar, depending how sweet you like it. Needs to macerate in the refrigerator overnight. It’ll be good!

Lost this little guy seven years ago this week. But he’s still alive up in my headspace.

It’s that time of year again. Autumn colors were really nice this year, but after that it was clean up the yard time. This year it resulted in 14 bags of leaves, and a long afternoon of doing that has pretty well beaten me down.

Tonight’s dinner: baked ziti and homemade bread. I’ve been busy this afternoon.

I’m not a big fan of pumpkin muffins. Or pumpkin anything else for that matter. But since it’s now the season, here’s my attempt at pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. Reasonably good, with more of a chocolate taste than pumpkin. Which is what I was looking for.

In the chilly North Country of New York State today. Some splendid autumn colors here, but today’s main attraction was a visit to Chazy Orchards, just to the northeast of Plattsburgh. They have the world’s largest orchard of McIntosh apples. My favorite kind of apple!

This past weekend’s DeepSouthCon, in N’awlins, featured Cory Doctorow as Writer Guest of Honor. A great speaker, though his vision of the near future is not optimistic. He’s written a new book titled Enshitification that pretty well describes it.

The oven seems to be cooperating today so let’s make up a batch of easy peasy cake mix chocolate chip cookies. I’m counting the minutes until they’ll be cool enough to sample.

We’re coming up on the 50th anniversary of Bruce being on the covers of both Time and Newsweek. A big moment in his career.
