You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town"

12.16.2021: My buddy Brad tipped me off to where I might see a few deer. (Like I have that problem.) So here are a couple shots. If you look closely at the first photo, you can see tons of those pesky gnats flying around her face. And if you look closely at the second photo you might see a reflection of me in her eye as I was pretty close. Or, it could be the reflection of a tree ... or a bush ... or an alien from a distant planet ... 350/365

12.12.2021: Quick question. When did you spend your first Christmas away from home, and where were you? For me, it was 1971 in the beautiful building on the far right in this photo. No, it is not a prison. Although, there was no escaping Shemya Island. A tiny 2-mile by 4-mile rock in the Aleutian Island chain. Shemya was about 200 miles from Russia and 1500 miles from Anchorage, Alaska. If I remember correctly, I worked the overnight shift on Christmas eve. Eavesdropping on the Red Menace was a 24-7 job.

12.08.2021: Tired of vultures surrounding the moon and chasing away passenger airliners, I finally called upon the German Luftwaffe to patrol the airspace over our neighborhood.

12.07.2021: Magically, Corgi Christmas decorations are popping up in our home. This one suddenly appeared on my framed piece of artwork used as the cover of one of the "Best of Randy & Spiff" CDs. Artwork by two time Pulitzer Prize winner (and great guy) Mike Luckovich.
