"Ghost Apples" are a phenomenon happening when freezing rain coats rotting apples before they fall.

When the rotting apple becomes mushy, it falls out of the bottom leaving its icy shell behind.

These ghost apples were spotted in Michigan.

Today’s poem is for anyone opening the first window of their advent calendar this morning.

It’s called ‘The Good Old Days’.

Good morning from Tokyo. Had 9hrs sleep last night. Most I've had in about three weeks or more. In Yokohama late afternoon, shooting an artist friend's show. Looking forward to that.

Whatever you're up to, have a great Sunday.

Love & peace

This is so embarrassing, but it seems that you have mistaken me for that other person on the internet who likes to argue with random people.

I'm thinking of blocking access to content on my site to anyone not running an ad blocker.

Thoughts?

How to write good.
1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat.)
4. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
5. One should never generalize.
6. Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
7. Be more or less specific.
8. Sentence fragments? Eliminate.
9. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
10. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
11. Who needs rhetorical questions?

"I discovered that the unrented office suites directly next door are a time capsule of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and we got permission from the building owners to put on an exhibition of vintage computers and telephones in the offices."
