Not As Cold This Morning As Forecast

 And next week looks really good. I will have a lot to do!

Another Norther Today

 But, again, it looks like it will be mostly sunny. Once this crap is past we've got better and milder weather in the forecast. Maybe twitter will crash and burn. Twitter is stupid. Twitter has always been stupid. Most "social media" is stupid-- stupid and a cesspool. But young people might not be hopeless. Look how most of them voted. That's very encouraging.

Another Nice Day!

 But I did feel the earthquake yesterday, as a slight jostling sensation. Barely noticeable. Early reports were not very accurate, as to epicenter and magnitude. Clear skies today again. I have only a few things on my agenda. 










I'm working on Christmas cards, for instance. I want to get them all done today. I need a few supplies. It isn't much. But it's enough.

Lift Off!

 I really had doubts about Artemis but it had a successful launch and I hope problems that have plagued this vehicle have been solved. I still have a lot of doubts about Starship. It still looks like a scam to me. You can't even fire 14 of the booster engines without wrecking the launch pad. I think the heat shield tiles will not withstand any realistic re-entry, and the upper stage's landing legs are a joke. It won't be stable on the kinds of surfaces you are going to find on the moon or Mars. Correct that problem and the payload capacity is severely reduced. Meanwhile, it's above freezing here and that's good. Sunshine? Maybe.

It's Feeling More Like Winter

 Nothing extreme yet. Should have plenty of sunshine today. That's always good. NOW I would like dry conditions to prevail. It's football season, and I've scarcely noticed. It's trivia. It's beneath me. I could not care less.
