I saw this on Facebook this afternoon. Star Trek. Boba Fett. Star Trek: Boba Fett. Let’s interrogate this. A typo, obviously. But! Imagine for a moment. Boba Fett, the galaxy far, far away’s greatest bounty hunter, tossed through time and space into the 24th-century where he has to do what he does best to survive,Continue reading “Where No Bounty Hunter Has Gone Before”

Adventures in Laundry
This is what I saw when I went to do laundry. And, of course, four of the seven dryers in the laundry room were broken.
Go Home Winter
Sixty degrees the last couple of days. Sixty degrees by the middle of this week. But today? Today I woke to this mess. It got warmer today than it was supposed to, so there’s been a lot of melting. I went out earlier and used a brook to clear the snow off my car. GoContinue reading “Go Home Winter”
Cosmic Wonder
Slim sliver of a moon as I was leaving the office tonight.
Christmas Is a Time for Cats
My friends’ cat Albert. In spite of the name, Albert is not a boy. Welcome to 2022 everyone. May it be a better year than the last two.
The Daily Cloud: September 6
Not a lot of cloud action today. I wondered if there were any point. I drove down to Loudon Park this afternoon, partly to see whether the exploded trees had been cleaned up in the last six weeks, mainly to see if the cemetery were flooded or not after the remnants of Hurricane Ida passedContinue reading “The Daily Cloud: September 6”
The Daily Cloud: September 5
It’s just as well I didn’t go to the York Revolution’s Spaceballs night, as it rained most of the day. As I write this, it’s drizzling now. During a break in the rain — or what I thought was a break in the rain — I drove over to York’s Mt. Rose Cemetery to walkContinue reading “The Daily Cloud: September 5”
The Daily Cloud: September 3
When COVID shut down the world eighteen months ago, I began a little project. “Began” makes it sound like it was planned, but it was really just something I stumbled into. I took pictures of clouds. It wasn’t a daily thing, but it was certainly a semi-regular thing. A couple of times a week. ThenContinue reading “The Daily Cloud: September 3”
Elbow’s Forthcoming Ninth Album
Yesterday, Mancunian band elbow announced their ninth studio album, Flying Dream 1. According to the announcement email from the band, the album was “written remotely in the band’s home studios before coming together at the empty Brighton Theatre Royal to perfect, perform, and record the songs.” And the teaser video captures some of that. TheContinue reading “Elbow’s Forthcoming Ninth Album”
Baseball Night in Lancaster
Last night I attended my first baseball game in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. When I lived in Chester County twenty years ago, Lancaster didn’t have a baseball team. Harrisburg, Reading, Wilmington — those would have been the closest baseball teams to me, probably in that order. I never attended games at any of them, though I dimlyContinue reading “Baseball Night in Lancaster”
