Hey friends! I make wooden jigsaw puzzles with uniquely shaped pieces generated by code and cut by lasers. It looks like we are going to sell out early this holiday season. Please place your orders sooner rather than later! (We ran out of wood) http://nervouspuzzles.com
My younger teen suddenly wants to learn the cello (he already plays the violin). Is this a normal sign of puberty?

I know I sometimes post during stressful events to remind you that it's ok to stop doomscrolling and log out for the night, because Twitter will still be here in the morning.
It *is* ok to stop doomscrolling and log out for the night. However...

I found this little alien in #sanfrancisco many years ago, just after I bought my first macro lens. I don’t do much macro work, it’s not really my thing, so this was a lucky exception.

Now thinking on 2023, I've got a few goals ready that cover stuff I got closer to, but missed this year:
- Pemigewasset wilderness as solo backpack (two night?)
- Kancamagus highway loop as two night bikepack
- Mt Dix slides trail in the Adirondack High Peaks
- Black Cat & Traveler Mtns N. of Katahdin in Baxter park
- Wapack trail as one-way end-to-end (bicycle to close the loop?)
It's not my plan to stress over it much if it doesn't line up, but I think writing it down at all shows me becoming that much more goal driven as a hiker.
So summer 2022 was the first year I'd set explicit hiking/outdoors goals, and it served me well. They were:
- push past the "4000' in one day" (hiking elevation gain)
- self-supported backpacking overnight
- Katahdin knife edge
- bicycle packing overnight POC maybe with teenager
I missed on the last but picked up a bonus trip with each kid in September, and I think I hit the right balance of specific and flexible.
So is the CW the same as marking the picture as sensitive? These Winter Moth (Operophtera brumata) are totally having sex.
Dang, getting a bio/#introduction up is like writing a dating app profile.

Tomorrow will be the last day we see the Sun until February. Well we’ll likely not see it as it is forecast to be overcast. People image we have one long night, but that’s not true. We have a varying amount of twilight as the Sun skims below the horizon.

Insects having steamy sex: photo!
These are Hyalophora cecropia silkworm moths, one of our largest native North American insects, mating on the female’s cocoon.
