Flickr meet-up — We first met Jacqi in person in 2008 at Bletchley Park in the UK. Then again in Springfield, Missouri as she traveled to her new home in New Zealand in 2011.

Room with a sea view — We opted for a room with a sea view, for a day spent catching up on work. Watching the changes in the weather and enjoying the view up and down the coast was, as they say in the ads, priceless. Best Western Clifton Hotel, Folkestone.

Ginger testing the water at St. Leonards-on-Sea — We have a few days to explore and this is where we ended up on the first day. Five-minute read.

What Gare Bears might wear in the woods — With the emphasis on might. Well actually, might not. We had a good laugh though.

Ginger, Gary and the Spinnaker Tower — Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth.

Ginger watching the dawn at 30,000 feet. We are off on the first leg of a visit to the UK. Our first since 2019.

Doing the ‘Eclipse Dance.’ Just before the totality. 2024 Total Eclipse. Just four minutes to go…

Faux Stonehenge Odessa, Texas. We stopped here while scoping out potential places to watch the annular eclipse. We decided this might be too twee and too popular. The eclipse photographers were already gathering. +2

Ginger sitting on the edge of the bluff overlooking the Canadian River, south of Logan, New Mexico.

Family range time — Katie trying out a scope on a pistol. Gary reloading. There was a new AR15 to be tried out and sighted in, and some other new handguns we’d not taken down the range. We organized a family trip down to Sound of Freedom in Ozark and had some fun.

Cats need glasses — and Morty agrees (sort of). Anything for a fluffy lap to sit on. +1

Ginger & Morty — Morty has a particularly strong headbutt.
