Last night apparently a transformer blew in Queens or Brooklyn and lit up the New York City sky with blue — although at the time I would have said green — light. When I first noticed it as I did the dog route, I looked to see if anyone else on the street was paying… Continue reading The City: blue light last year

Peepers Out late again
We have a pond here full of these little frogs people call peepers. They “peep” in the spring. The peeping can actually be quite loud. If you stand at the edge of the wetlands or the pond when they start in the evening, the noise can hurt your ears. In the winter, they bury themselves… Continue reading Peepers Out late again

10th Annual Fetch Competition
For ten years, I have held a fetch competition here on Christmas day. This year, 2018, we decided to do it up right and make it a real event.

The pond froze so thick but so clear I… Continue reading Coyotes and Eagles

Luxury is not quality
Our family of country mice went to the city and had a great city weekend. One thing that’s healthy about being in the city but not working is it reminds me what living in the city is like. I lived in New York from about 1990 to 2005 so it really isn’t a foreign place… Continue reading Luxury is not quality
The algorithm as god
It’s a strange world where an evolving commercial algorithm — a bunch of ideas, suppositions, experiments, results, and prejudices of a team of people over time codified into a system of action — becomes a god. It has power. It’s not listening to you. It’s fairly arbitrary. Sounds like a Greek god to me. In 2012, we… Continue reading The algorithm as god
