We have a new cat in the neighborhood who looks a lot like the one on my new San Francisco cat t-shirt. It’s based on one worn by Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) in Project Hail Mary.

I have a new neighbor. I can feel Archie watching if he notices me in the back yard.

Walking my dog I took a little detour down a street I’d never been down before and I found art.

The Chevron station near me has signs blaming high gas prices on the California state government. Someone called them out.

“I don’t know if Sacramento started the war in Iran honey”

My neighbors are having a sidewalk sale and of course I bought the working HO scale DeWitt Clinton train set for $10.

I’ve named it Sparky.

Tulips in bloom in my neighborhood community garden.

I don’t have a plot, but I pick up trash and pull out weeds around the garden, created the mural signage, and I was given the access code.

Sometimes I just go in to enjoy the flowers for a while.

Plant art in Duboce Park, near the Scott Street Labyrinth. It reminds me a little of the Ewok village.

I got curious about how the NASAcrawler and roll out worked when I was making plans to watch the launch of Atlantis – STS-132 – in 2010.

Rockets get staged/stacked inside the vehicle assembly building with the launch platform and tower. Once the mobile structure gets plugged in, leveled out, and locked down, the crawler rolls far away.

40 years after Challenger: Lingering guilt and lessons learned

Forty years after the Challenger disaster, NPR explores the engineers' last-minute efforts to stop the launch, their decades of guilt and th

I was in the fourth grade when Challenger happened..

The AV room at John Gill elementary wasn’t big enough to fit everyone, so my class didn’t get to watch the "teacher in space" launch live.

I learned about it when someone opened my classroom door saying we all had to come to the AV room because something happened we all needed to see.

I have a new addition. He's a dwarf gourami, a relative of betta fish that do well in community tanks.
