Watching ICE raids online is devastating. I feel powerless seeing families separated and people profiled because of their skin color or language. The ruthlessness is infuriating.

Make no mistake: I fault Trump and his supporters for creating this hostile environment.

First pic is the barely visible northern lights (7:00 pm MDT), I needed the camera to see it.

Second pic was late in the evening (9:30 MDT), northern lights were very bright (one could see it without camera assistance).

Fort Collins, you’ll always be my “Castlewood Road” (a song by the Treetop Flyers). I am certain that I will never leave, but if I ever do go out of town…this song will always play as I countdown to my return.

Grateful to my cousin, Pilar, for leaving flowers on my dad’s resting spot over the weekend for Dia de los Muertos. This made my heart happy. 💐
