celticeagle @celticeagle (168126) • Boise, Idaho 17 Dec

Each year Santa and his reindeer make a 41 million-mile trek around the entire globe and thanks to a high-tech website kids from 3 to 103 can watch a website and see when he is expected in a given area. Since 1958, we can thank a...

celticeagle @celticeagle (168126) • Boise, Idaho 17 Dec

I found it interesting to learn that the Eiffel Tower actually has an apartment in it. Gustave Eiffel, who designed the tower, built the apartment as a personal retreat. It is 2000 square feet with two bedrooms, a piano and lovely...

celticeagle @celticeagle (168126) • Boise, Idaho 17 Dec

Ten or fifteen years ago I used to keep a bucket list. I used to be very adventurous and wanted to try a lot of things. Since my arthritis got so bad and my anxiety heightened I quit. But I used to put such things as hand gliding...

celticeagle @celticeagle (168126) • Boise, Idaho 16 Dec

Only one of my favorite TV series. And now a possible reboot. Gellar, who played Buffy for 8 years, had felt that doing a reboot was not something she wanted to do. She was proud of the work she did on the show and felt it was...

A Demonic Entity

celticeagle @celticeagle (168126) • Boise, Idaho 15 Dec

Depression is like a tall cement wall. You find yourself up against it and it becomes all powerful. For some it's like a scene from a movie. It attracts your attention for a minute and then it's gone. Not so for me. Major...

celticeagle @celticeagle (168126) • Boise, Idaho 14 Dec

A few things I am thinking about today. I keep thinking about Trump and his "Make America Great Again" BS. Pure and simple as it is. It still slays every time I think of it: He is choosing his cabinet of richy rich. Billionaires...

Hoar Frost

celticeagle @celticeagle (168126) • Boise, Idaho 14 Dec

I have been intrigued by hoar frosts since I was a child. It's a bit different from the usual, boring frost. It is a deposit of ice crystals on objects which are exposed to the fresh air such as a blade of grass or a leaf. Hoar...

celticeagle @celticeagle (168126) • Boise, Idaho 13 Dec

I was a big fan of Dexter when it was first on back in 2006 through 2013. I have always been interested in serial killers-- how they think, what makes them do what they do. I really enjoyed the series. But then, in November 2021...

Trump Finally Found Something For Kari Lake to do

celticeagle @celticeagle (168126) • Boise, Idaho 12 Dec

Isn't that sweet? I have been reading about poor, pathetic Kari Lake. As you probably know she was a newscaster back before she went into politics. But her political history hasn't been so good. First, she loses Arizona's 2022...
