A BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, DANA!

Oh my God, MAK, this is a shock. Donna was so full of life, laughter and love. And I think she gets the prize for having made the most contributions to this website. She was the first person to reach out on the chat stream to welcome me and answer any questions I had, well before I met any of the Rochester watchers in person. Fly free, djweeds. Love and sympathy to her family.

This is such awesome news! Welcome to central/western New York, Jersey girl!

Three eggs now.

Egg #2 arrived yesterday.

2018 egg #1 for Diamond and Xavier!

Thanks, Penelope!

Thanks all, for the lovely birthday wishes! I had a great day. 

A belated Happy Birthday to you, Shaky!  

A belated Happy Birthday to you, Carla! 

Thanks, Ei. I sure wish they'd fix the wind damage on Crossroads. It looks terrible. It occurred in the very same wind gust that took the flag down at Powers that day in early spring.

Cadence can see her, though, so she knows she's okay.

Don't worry. We'll all have electric flying cars by the time Rochester gets around to re-watering the aqueduct.

I thought we successfully killed that plan once. But no, it has reared its ugly head again in the ROC the Riverway plan. I hope you're right. And hey, 2015 has come and gone and I still have no hoverboard.

When will people realize that the city needs Broad Street as a river crossing? We don't need to have the aqueduct re-watered or have an amphitheater in the aqueduct. We need the bridge, especially after they spruced up the top of it. Well, at least the plans for the concrete terrace by the library (where we've held some watchers weekends) sound nice. The Black Crowned Night Herons would have to relocate, though, as it looks like their favorite tree would come down if this plan is adopted.

Tracking something...parent flyby?

That is very cute. In each one, Sundara looks like she's tracking to the beat of a different drummer.
