Now, this was ... sort of creepy. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, so I first researched "65" and stumbled over pretty weird stuff quite quickly (including a whole ecosystem of programming training ... I won't go into that, but it was impressive and depressing at the same time). So I thought I'd better look for some music and found ... nothing I would want to use. And then I though, why not try "retirement" ... and this popped up (right after some dictionnary references) ...

Retirement in Switzerland - www.ch.ch

How can you calculate your pension? How much money will you receive during your retirement? Can you retire before the statutory retirement age or work during your retirement?

Now I felt tracked by a non-tracking search engine ... What were they guessing at? And then I thought: Maybe they're not that far off - that's what people want to know.

Turns out it was a bit early for me to do that kind of research ...

I'm glad you're keeping track of the D2D numbers. I've lost count, especially after doing SiJ simultaneously.

The wet footprint. I could not decide whether or not to crop out that bit of wall at the top. It gave the picture some context but was a bit distracting. What do you think?

The song I had in mind:

... yes, I'm one of those Baby-Boomers

Today's project: mowing and weed cutting at my mom's house. Lots of thick, wet grass.

Cropping out the wall creates a completely different picture, it's much more like an abstract that way and also visually less interesting (to me). So I strongly prefer the wall to stay. I must add that I often get criticized at my photo club for including too much in a picture , mostly because I like to maintain context exactly like here. Oh yes, and I like it.

This reminds of the old days when I did a lot of paranormal research and investigation. At one of the more well known haunted buildings, Waverly Hills Sanatorium. After a rain, we would find kid sized barefoot foot prints tracked out of the puddles, even in the winter. When we found them in the warmer months, they would not evaporate in a normal time frame. Instead, staying for a couple of hours.

Stopped to fuel up the vehicle at an Oregon gas station which specializes in alternately and ecologically produced diesel fuels.
This was on the wall of their main office---

It's true, ain't it: art elevates us.

Groovy.

Few minutes ago I went to my neighbor who runs a bakery. I bought something and took a snap of this sausage snack.

I had a premonition you were gonna say that.
