Now Dr. Oz? These new Trump nominations are becoming a reality show where washed up TV celebs try and resurrect their careers, like "Dancing with the Stars," only worse in all consequential ways.

White-crowned Sparrows forage on the ground near the Edmonds ferry terminal.

My new weather station is setup and online. This new unit is the Ambient Weather WS-4000 Solar Powered UltraSonic Wi-Fi Weather Station. It replaces an Ambient Weather WS-2902 Home Wi-Fi Weather Station, which we had going for about 10 years. The old unit seemed to be getting clunky, disconnecting more often with the console. So far, the WS-4000 seems to be working fine. Setup was relatively easy. We'll see how it works in the long run. #geekalert #wawx #wx #weather #AmbientWeather

I've gotten over the weird feeling of dining alone after so many solo work trips. Having a phone to scroll through social and news helps, because everyone stares at their phone these days. I used to bring a book or a newspaper. But newspapers are dying, sadly. Great if the server is nice and has a sense of humor. Found a great place in Oroville, the Union Patio Bar & Grill. Mahi mahi tacos. #food #tacos #Oroville #California

The Jewish Cemetery in Oroville. I stopped to take a few photos in the not ideal harsh afternoon sunlight. With my limited time (work trip), I tried to find as many interesting things (to me) as I could in Oroville. And surprisingly, there were many. #photography #cemetery #Jewish #Oroville #California #SacramentoValley #ButteCounty #GoldCountry #history #GoldRush

Firefighters staying at the hotel where I stayed in Oroville on 8/15/24. They were fighting the Park Fire, an arson caused fire that started on 7/24/24 and to date has burned 429,603 acres, the fourth largest in recorded California history. The trucks are from San Bernardino County Fire Department. #ParkFire #wildfire #handcrew #firefighters #SanBernadino #Oroville #ButteCounty #firetrucks #California

Tulips in our front planter bed. The tulips are "World Peace", a Darwin hybrid. They were a bonus for a big order I made with Roozengaarde. They turned out great. #flowers #flowerphotography #photography #tulips #garden #gardening #Roozengaarde #PNW
