The past two weeks have been filled with unseasonably cold weather with a bunch of snow followed by freezing rain and ice.
Here are a few photos of the growing snow at our home and playing in it.
Now it’s time for us to escape to warm up.
On October 14th in the morning I will be experiencing an annular eclipse from the Cascade Mountains near my home in Bend Oregon.
An annular eclipse is a type of solar eclipse that occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, but the moon is too far away to completely cover the sun. This creates a ring of bright light around the dark moon, which is sometimes called a “ring of fire”. An annular eclipse can only be seen from a narrow path on the earth’s surface, where the moon’s shadow falls.
The next annular eclipse will happen on October 14, 2023, and it will be visible from parts of North, Central, and South America. You can find more information about this event on the NASA website or watch a video explanation here.

Last week, Stefanie and I got out for a few hours just west of town 20 miles to exercise our day permit we had got a few days ago. We got it to hike into the Three Sisters Wilderness to Broken Top Mountain (a collapsed volcano), the Bend Glacier, and the beautiful blue-turquoise No Name Lake from the Broken Top Trailhead in the Deschutes National Forest.
Stay tuned for more technology and industry articles, advice, and reviews on the Between the Lines blog. The researching takes time to publish.
The world, and the AEC industry lost an amazing friend and educator on March 18, 2023.
I first met Suzuki-san many years ago in the AUGI-Japan (Autodesk User Group International - Japan) group while visiting Japan. We met while I was there working on building relationships with Japanese Autodesk product users to improve the feedback to Autodesk in beta testing of products.
He was soft-spoken, kind, skeptical, funny, analytical, well-respected, and brilliant.
It was an honor to have known you. My sincere condolences to your family and friends.
