I got the newest Apple TV w/thread support replacing a prior gen. They weren’t lying about performance. The Ethernet port delivers on nearly the full gigabit of our fiber to the home. Of course it won’t ever use that speed watching videos. ½

Someone made some mischief last night place a cone on a conical trail sign.
It’s an orange traffic cone on top the sign.

We don’t get a lot of fall color in our area so I enjoyed seeing this lovely tree after dawn.

Dawn’s early light
As good as smartphone cameras are these days they still can’t capture the subtle pastels of a dawn sky

For the US peeps, reminder that it is time to vote in the so-called mid-term election. It’s more important than ever to participate. 🇺🇸

Our local Japanese market has been on a run of bringing in products from Hokkaido. I picked this up today and it was great. Highly recommended if you like chocolate.

In spite of it being rather cold and windy we had a fun day hiking several trails. Highs in the 40s tomorrow will probably drive us indoors.

This is where you’ll find me almost every day at 7:30am getting my exercise in after seeing my son off to the school bus.

This morning’s sky made a good start to my exercise run

Nature, looking up.

A bunch of small clouds this morning. They’re usually white but today were rather dark.

We’ve had a few days with a morning low in the 60s and reasonable humidity. Summer’s back has been broken. Also, the sky was truly lovely. The combination really had me stepping up my pace. 🏃♂️
