Whirlwind

· Maine Event

Today was a busy day. The time change always kind of throws me, and so I was an hour or more behind all day. I made super time-intensive yogurt that is delicious. A bunch of household chores, then ran down to the Ferry Building for some fish from Nopa Fish and a few other things. Then met up with my dear friend Lisa for coffee at Grand Coffee Too, which is between 21st and 22nd on Mission St. It was another warm day with the high of 73°.

Anyway, we made a nice swordfish dinner with roasted broccolini and a salad.

It was a constant-motion day, and I still didn't finish everything.

The most interesting thing was an Iranian protest/celebration at the death of the Ayatollah Khomeini. It was confusing because it was Iranian and Jewish, and the most joyous celebration. It was more like a party or rave that was a pro-Trump, pro-Netanyahu event. With Iranian techno rap and intense emotion, and very loud.

Another warm day in the park. This is about a 1/4 as many people as yesterday. And only 4 degrees cooler

Jupiter and the twins again
Little smog or something dampens the twinkles.

7:30 am – 7:10 pm, which is 11 hours and 39 minutes of daylight. Uh oh, no sun until 7:30!!

The bird of the day is a Red-whiskered Bulbul

Here is a poem for you.

Sending oodles of love,
