New Day Cafe ~ Saturday: Critters, with Scenes [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-09-21 Good morning, beloved Newdists. I’ve been offline all week, writing. On Sunday a group of friends met at a house in Arlington. OMG! NoVa is even crazier than it has ever been before. I’m glad I did not take the car. Train to Alexandria, and then metro to Arlington and then Uber to friend’s house. Mostly writing an outline for what I want to write. That novella that I mentioned to you a while back — where we’d write and hand it over to another and they take the story their own way, etc. until it comes back; and round and round we go? Well that turned out to be so much fun that one of the group suggested we should write another one and see if we can get it published or we can self publish. There are definite rules this time though. Hence my outlining. I’m looking forward to it! Have you done anything exciting or fulfilling this past week? Do tell! And to the diary — critters first.

What a glare! x The face of an osprey that sees a bald eagle nearby. 😳 If you ever see an osprey dive into a river and come back up with a fish, you've just seen it picking up lunch. And if there's a hungry bald eagle around, you may also see the osprey mugged for its lunch! 🦅 pic.twitter.com/oitKGELkH6 — CA State Parks (@CAStateParks) September 18, 2024 . The prettiness! .
