Here we are on the first Saturday of 2024. David and I are gearing up for a storm that might bring us a significant amount of snow. Of course, the weather folk are much better at telling us what happened yesterday than what might happen tomorrow. Still, it's good to be prepared. Speaking of prepared, we are ready to tackle Linda G. Hill's two-fisted prompt as she combines Stream of Consciousness Saturday with Just Jot January:
"Your prompt for #JusJoJan the 6th and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: 'just do it.' Use the phrase 'just do it' somewhere in your post, or write a post in the spirit of the phrase. Enjoy!"
If we were having a beer, you'd be wondering about my drinking plans.
"Happy New Year, Dan."
"Happy New Year, David. Is that a John Howell's Special you're drinking?"
"It is. Cheryl had to pop downstairs to change the keg, but you'll have a cold Modelo in your hands pretty soon. That is, unless you're doing Dry January."
"Here's your beer, Dan. Sorry about the head. When that settles down, I'll pour a little more in."
"He called, Dan. He was supposed to work today, but he had been out late celebrating. He did very well."
"I'm glad. Sounds like he had a dose of just do it spirit, and it paid off."
"And speaking of 'just do it' spirit, Dan, you and Cheryl both seem to be embracing Linda's Just Jot January prompt. You're certainly giving me a lot to read."
"I hope we're not boring you, David."
"Not at all, Cheryl. I can honestly say that I'm enjoying your posts and I'm not sick of Dan's yet."
"Gee, thanks, David. That's, um, quite the compliment."
"You know I'm just joking, Dan. I have enjoyed the little bits you dribbled out about your new blog theme. That seems to be a hit."
"Well, you might want to skip my post on Monday. I'm going to wrap up that explanation with a look at the pros and cons."
"Thanks for the head's up. I'll pop in for the pictures."
"I'll leave a link for you to skip the text."
"Another JOMO moment for me—thanks Dan."
Note: As you can see, I've formally adopted the theme I had in place on Wednesday. It causes the fewest problems and it offers the captions in both the composite and slideshow views. For you iPad (and perhaps other tablets) users, I have an answer for you. If you get a menu like the one shown at the right instead of entering the slideshow when you press on a photo, you are pressing on the photo for too long. A short firm press will invoke the slideshow. A longer press will give you this menu. Also, if you don't have arrow keys to advance, swipe the photos in the slideshow with your finger.
And, for those of you viewing on a phone or smaller tablet, if the captions are masking too much of the image, rotate your phone and view the gallery in landscape mode. I have shrunk the captions as much as I can, and I reduced the columns from three to two. It should be readable.
The color is fading but still pretty
15 minutes into my walk, the color was still strong
Nom nom nom
Slow going following this guy
A rail car and a crane. Two favorites in one
My favorite trestle
"You can leave the peanuts anywhere - thanks!"
I didn't expect this color to last, but it remained for half my walk
Lower right is my regular buddy. The other squirrel is the one that lives in that hole
Kids went back to school this week
The sun is rising behind the clouds
The bare birch trees at sunrise
Leaving the park as I head home. The sunrise is fading
I waited for the temp to rise above 20°f (-7°c) before walking. So the sun was up
