OCT 21, 26.. WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR AUTUMN??

Just this past Friday, the 17th of October, we were raving about our beautiful Autumn..

Get it? Got it? Good!

Yesterday, snap your fingers, we awoke to our first look at Winter 2026-27.

Looking out our bedroom window.

Silly question! I wonder IF the snow fell in the back of our building?

Last Friday..

Yesterday morning!

Now I am on our front porch. 

The building next to us.

Now we "pan" to our right.

Whodda Thunk! This was NOT a "light dusting"! This was snow. 

Yes! It will not last. But.. Time to head for Arizona!

OCT 17, 26.. AUTUMN IN ANCHORAGE..

You can thank our good friend Gullible, or you can blame Gullible, for this short look at Autumn here in Anchorage, Alaska, yesterday on October the 16th.

Why?

Gullible has often advised me .. "Cap when you are stuck, go out, and take some photographs, and publish them."

We have not yet published one Post here on Google Blogspot this October.

Yesterday Patti and I had three (3 count them) medical appointments. One appointment will occupy a day. Three medical appointments take over a day!!

Finally Patti and I ended up at Providence Hospital for the final medical appointment.

As I was coming out of Providence, I was stunned with the absolute beauty of yesterday's Autumn leaves.

Looking out at our Autumn Leaves in our Green Strip.

Thank You Gullible for your support!!

Cap and Patti.

AUG 20, 26.. NATIONAL RADIO DAY..

Yet again. Hello NATIONAL TODAY! We welcome your holiday about National Radio Day !! 

National Radio Day tunes in every August 20th.

Patti and I can well remember "Back in our youth in the 1940's" when television did not exist.

Radio.. was.. an.. important.. thing.. in.. our.. families..

Was it only "yesterday"? I clearly remember, on December the 7th 1941, listening to my parents radio as Walter Winchell talked about the Japanese having bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

Patti has her own vivid memories of listening to her family radio!  Here are Patti's recollections: 

"I can vividly picture my parents, my older brother and myself sitting together in front of the 3 foot tall radio in our living room, raptly listening to dramatic and comedy programs together.  Sgt. Preston of the Yukon, The Shadow, Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Fibber McGee and Molly and Amos 'n' Andy were a few of our favorites. We followed these programs loyally!"

National Radio Day celebrates the powerful medium that shaped communication and culture for over a century. From news to music, radio connected communities and informed millions.

Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian inventor and electrical engineer, is widely credited for his pioneering work on long-distance radio transmission and for developing Marconi's law and a radio telegraph system. His innovations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries laid the foundation for modern radio communication. In 1909, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy.

However, it took quite a bit of time after the discovery of the radio for the technology to be used as communication. This was both because the inventors hadn’t yet realized the practical and life-changing applications of their development and because there were many more components needed to transmit and detect electrical waves.

Radio continues to reach a vast audience, with approximately 90% of Americans tuning in weekly. This includes traditional broadcast and digital streaming platforms.

We have barely "scratched the surface" of Radio and its history!

AUG 18, 26 (1 / 2).. SERENDIPITY DAY..

Thanks to NATIONAL TODAY we have Serendipity Day.

Serendipity ?

Serendipity is the emergence and development of events by chance.

Serendipity is the capacity to make intriguing discoveries by chance.

Serendipity is also described as a happy accident or a pleasant surprise.

Serendipity Day is celebrated to encourage people to confront unexpected good fortune.

Below we see what Wikipedia has to say.

Serendipity is an unplanned fortunate discovery.

The concept is often associated with scientific and technological breakthroughs, where accidental discoveries led to new insights or inventions. Many significant discoveries in history were serendipitous, including penicillin, Post-it notes, Popsicles, and the microwave oven, arising from unforeseen circumstances that were then recognized and capitalized upon.

The word ‘serendipity’ has been around since the mid-1700s, but it was officially recognized for the first time in 2010. In general, serendipity refers to the capacity to make intriguing discoveries by chance.
