Wow! Such a watery and mild August I can't recall. It could rain again today, with a 60% chance. And the 10 day forecast has us going into September with rain chances each day and high temps below 90 F. Cool mornings as well. What a relief. But the general global warming will continue, and climate chaos is here to stay. Artemis, that obscene money pit, fizzled on the launch pad yesterday. It's a bridge to nowhere. It's the world's most expensive phallic symbol. I expect total and spectacular failure if it ever launches. Money down the toilet. Manned spaceflight, to the moon and Mars, is a stupid endeavor. It would be smarter to focus on social welfare, improving the quality of life for everyone. And I just saw, outside my window, something rather strange. There was a contrail and a fast moving aircraft, moving East to West, a bright dot leaving the contrail behind it (and I assumed that dot was the aircraft), and then that silvery dot vanished and the contrail terminated. I've never seen anything like that before.
