No, this is not a thesaurus. It’s just a perspective!
Wednesday was an unusually cold day for March 22nd, but brilliantly clear as a chance intersection was happening overhead. Around 4500′ (2480 m,) the United jet was on a base leg approaching Newark Airport while the two high altitude planes were cruising SW, likely near 30,000 ft. (16,500 m.)

This week saw my neighbor’s fenced-in yard as a snowy overnight sanctuary for a small herd of deer.
Status Quo! Content between walking around, relaxing and sleeping. 
One deer always remained outside the sanctuary, all night and morning, almost as a guard. They remained until early afternoon each day before hopping over the fence for their daily parade for food through the back-woods.
Yesterday, things were dramatically different! All the deer were gone, replaced by “Foxtrot Tangle!”But was it the nearby Gray Squirrel who REALLY felt threatened?
First reaction: hide head in snow! 
“Ohhhh! He still sees me!”
“I’ll just hide here on the other side of the tree!”You can’t make this stuff up, folks. In time frame, this is exactly as it happened, except the deer images were taken one day prior. But on this actual day, the deer were there an hour before I noticed their absence, replaced by the fox. The fox` and the squirrel (outside the fenced area,) were photographed in quick succession actually looking towards each other, at a distance of about 25 yards.

Venus is currently a crescent phase, as it swings quickly along its orbit between Earth and the sun.
Venus has been shinning brightly for the last few months after sunset, but is quickly approaching what is called Inferior Conjunction, as it passes roughly between the Earth and the Sun in 11 days, 3/22/17. The planet will re-emerge as the “morning star” visible a week or two later, rising before sunrise.

Grappus and Blappus: One was cool and indifferent. The other possessed …and determined to drive our dear old dad insane.
In smiling memory of two wonderfully special cats.
