These are just cheapo cellphone snapshots. First one is the look outside my bathroom window an early October morning. Next is from the Fjord, where I to sail a LOT as a kid

I'm jealous of any place that has a harbor at this point. And the sea is just 3 hours away. Can't imagine how people do it who live in the middle of the US or Russia where the see is days aways. You're probably really enjoying those clouds after so long in Andalucia! There something to a sky like that, that is a landscape in itself, that Spain just doesn't have, at least not very often.

After having built myself a garden bench and taken a few hundred naps on it ;-)
Yeah, clouds are lovely. But in many parts of Spain, especially those dominated by the Atlantic sea and including where I lived, there are a good deal of clouds, so that not something new for me. But this white stuff is new. I havent seen snow for 15 years except a few days in Granada 11 - 12 years ago

Time to make a snowman! I've never met a Frenchman who knew how to make a proper snowman, including in the mountains where they get snow every year. They'd just stack bits and pieces of snow together and hope it stuck. They never figured out that if you just keep Rolling a tiny snow ball, it'll get bigger and bigger...

Nice to see your workshop all set up, Anders. We need more great guitars in the world!
During the nearly seven years I have been back in Austin it has snowed once. When I was 12 and 13 we lived in Alaska. In those days it froze at the end of October and didn't thaw out again until March. The snow stacked up three or four feet deep (a meter or more) over the winter.
I enjoyed it. My best buddy and I would go for hikes on the weekend, summer or winter, sometimes for a couple of weeks at a time in the summer with my buddy's father, whose job took him into the wilderness.
I'm halfway planning to visit friends in Alaska next summer--but I don't miss the snow.
