This is a photograph taken at early morning, showing a large, modern architectural structure that appears to be an outdoor walkway or terminal at an airport. The most prominent feature is the overhead canopy. It's a series of repeating, arched segments that create a long, tunnel-like effect. The canopy is constructed of a white, latticed framework – think of a very large, open grid of thin, interconnected beams. This framework forms a series of triangular and diamond shapes, creating a complex, repeating pattern. The canopy is translucent, allowing light to pass through, and is illuminated from above, giving it a soft, glowing appearance. Below the canopy is a roadway. We can see several cars driving on this roadway, suggesting it's an area for vehicle traffic. The cars are various colors, including white, black, and red. On either side of the roadway are pedestrian walkways. There are people walking along these walkways, indicating this is a space for passengers to move between different parts of the airport. We can also see some airport-related equipment, such as luggage carts, suggesting this is a transportation hub. The overall lighting is dim but functional. The overhead canopy provides a soft, diffused light, while streetlights illuminate the roadway and walkways. The image is taken at night, so the background is dark, but the lit areas are clearly visible. The perspective of the photo is from a slightly elevated position, possibly from inside a vehicle. We can see a portion of a car door or window frame in the lower left corner of the image, suggesting the photo was taken from within a car. The overall impression is one of a modern, functional, and well-lit transportation space. The repeating pattern of the overhead canopy creates a sense of rhythm and depth, while the activity on the roadway and walkways suggests a busy and active location.
Flying to #RootsTech2025 before dawn.
Flying reminds me how much I love to travel by train instead.
Tip: When they say remove "laptops only" through security, they also mean tablets. That is 20 minutes I will never get back.
A pioneer in early Country Music, Moonshine Kate. Along with her father, Fiddlin' John, they were fantastic musicians and fiddlers but the Depression-era put a stop to their dreams.

“I hope that people can see that no matter what circumstances you’re up against, there’s light at the end of the tunnel, and at some point, addiction is going to make you decide if you’re going to end it or progress, and it’s an everyday battle that you have to deal with for the rest of your life.”
On all social media, a lot of conversations about the #CalifroniaFires vs #WNC #Helene #relief packages.
Let me break it down for you so a 5 year old can understand it:
Both are horrific.
Both deserve our compassion.
Both need our help.
People need to stop dividing #Americans in need.
Randy Seaver taught us this 6 YEARS AGO - so, at least once a year, I think it's important to remind everyone how to search their tree for hints within a single data set. Hints you've accepted won't show up, so it's really useful!

I woke up this morning to an alert from the secret underground #weather kids on social media.
They are now predicting 4 to 6" of #snow over Metro #Atlanta and the Northern Counties on Friday. Will it hold true? I dunno but I sure hope so. This Southern transplant misses snow.

I need advice. I have a 6 year old #Yorkie & babysit my son's #terrier often.
I've been asked to #adopt a very young bonded pair of Yorkie mixes but someone mentioned "Littermate Syndrome".
Has anyone had this situation? #dog #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop

Has this happened to anyone yet?
100% agree. Frontier not only sucks but are pure greedy evil ones.
As we round down the year, I think it’s a good time to review some of the biggest stories of 2024 for Wheeling.

(they state that a family member has priority)
I 100% agree and by their own rules they a family member has priority. But, today, they sent an email saying they can't force it.
I'm digging for the link and will post it.
