Storm to our south made for a lovely sunset tonight. :)

@wxdam @mcclureWX @JeffLast @NDilbeck_Wx How it started...

@wxdam @mcclureWX @JeffLast @NDilbeck_Wx More... clouds, and views of the approaching storm (which didn't reach us) ImageImageImageImage
Sunset hitting the lower points of this storm cloud almost made it look like a UFO :) Image
Storm clouds do some amazing things... Image
Closer view of those clouds... Image
Storm Edge Image
Last - two panoramic views, both of which will be better full-screen, or at least opened up. :) Image
180 degrees of sunset

Thirty-odd years ago, I was cleaning a barbecue grill. I was in a lot of pain. Didn't know why.

The pain suddenly let up, but I felt like I was going to die.

Called 911, and sat on my front porch with my head almost down on the next step...
When the paramedics got there, they took my blood pressure, and immediately almost threw me into the ambulance.

Rushed downtown - wrong hospital. Went to the right hospital, couldn't find the emergency OR. Finally found it. They slapped the anesthesia mask on me, and yelled...
"Sign this!!"

I did.

I'm one of the lucky ones. As long as it took me to get there, I should have died. As it was, I lost a terrifying amount of blood. My abdomen was so distended I looked 9 months pregnant.

Six months to recover.

@PatinkinMandy Saw your video earlier today, and really enjoyed it. But that's not what I'm writing to you about...

Something has been weighing on my mind, and seeing your name again today reminded me of it. If you don't read this thread, I understand, but I need to say it.
Many years ago, when I was fifteen, I met Ted Bundy at Lake Sammamish State Park, in Seattle. I was one of the lucky ones - I didn't go with him. Something kept me from getting into that car, and I'm very glad about that.

But there's more to it than that.
Two women disappeared (and died) that weekend. Most people don't remember their names. Janice Ott, and Denise Naslund.

When Bundy was put to death, candlelight vigils were held for him.

For HIM. Who held vigils for Naslund and Ott? I don't know.

I have lived in this condo and this neighborhood for about 19 years now.

I have never seen either of these in my area, in all that time, and with all the walks I've taken.

Today, I saw both...
I have seen Zebra Swallowtails twice before - saw several at a place south of here a few years ago.

Once at Orlando Wetlands. Briefly.

Today, I saw this one at my corner park.

Gobsmacked - in a good way. :) Image
My standard practice on a photo walk is to photograph any bird in flight I don't immediately recognize. Just in case.

I got home, and could NOT figure out what this was, so I had to ask a Birding site.

Juvenile Red-Headed Woodpecker. !?!?!?

I've seen them - miles away. Image

This was posted by my friend @itscsesq elsewhere, and he gave me permission to share... (Dave is a lawyer who worked at the State Dept.):
-
If you are confused about the dispute between AG Barr and US Attorney for the Southern District of NY Geoffrey Berman, here is an explainer:
Normally, a President (and, therefore, the AG) can remove a US Attorney at will. However, this case has peculiar circumstances. If you recall, at the start of the Trump Administration, names for nominees would be announced, but no nomination would show up in the Senate.
The delays were inordinate, and Trump would blame Senate Democrats, but, the truth was that his people were simply either taking inordinately long to send in the paperwork, or they simply were not doing it.

Sunset photos will be really late tonight (obviously...) ;)

But I think they're worth it. I almost didn't get out there, but really happy that I did.

An unedited preview: Image
Panorama from tonight:

@wxdam @mcclureWX @JeffLast Image
I call skies like we had tonight the "Dark Fire" skies, because the light is so bright and fiery, but the overall sky is dark. Most often these happen after a storm. Image
