It appears to all be the Zame from... here

2019

Panguitch, Utah looking west...                            12/23/2018

i have not done a new years hangover for near on fifty years now, in fact i can't even stay awake till 10:00 PM let alone till midnight to see bright colored fireworks... so i just see whats there in the morning of the first day when i wake up. Most cases its all the zame, no major changes here unlike some parts of the world of late, volcanoes, earthquakes, waves, bombs or explosions to change or alter the landscape and take human life... pretty quite mostly. Sure can't tell in this image that its eighteen degrees out this day.

Panguitch, Utah looking south out my back door...                           12/30/2018

Now this is a different image, two degrees and the CHRISTmas  snow sill on the ground with us... the sun that is out is pretty warm, if one sits behind the back door window basking in it to stay warm, gain some vitamin D and keep the blood flowing through the vessels... the dog rather likes doing this, thats who i  got the idea from...
A good bowl of hot soup helps a great deal also... now for the drag days of cabin fever, tasty busy and catch-up on reading and unfinished projects, and get the creative juices fired back up and get to work again even if i am suppose to be retired.
I did miss this government shut down, but did get to live through the last one... and did get paid retroactively after the reopening...
