We heard about a family in WNC that I used to attend church with as a kid with roof damage from Helene that insurance didn’t cover. After today they’ll have a new lifetime metal roof at no cost.

In 1948, when Irv Robbins merged his Snowbird Ice Cream with Burt Baskin's Burton's Ice Cream Shop, the result was Baskin-Robbins Store #1 at 1130 S. Adams St, Glendale in a striking red-and-white striped triangular building and heavily promoted its menu of 31 flavors.

Salzach River in Salzburg, Austria, from an old slide scan, gently restored with Grok after my tweaks. Perfect summer day with the Alps rising behind. 🇦🇹🌳 "Water Wednesday"

What’s believed to be the first appearance in its 51-year flying history, the Boeing 747 E-4B Nightwatch, also known as the “Doomsday Plane,” showed up at LAX during Thursday’s Airline Videos Live broadcast and will most likely be the highlight of 2026!

Epic sunset reds over the Sonoran Desert in Arizona on 12/14, no edits or filters. iPhone nailed the intense colors that evening (first two slides) better than usual! Canon added that signature depth and richness (last two). Like how each handled the same moment. 🌵
