The one that isn’t actually, you know, in space. Broadly defined space starts with the Thermosphere which is the layer of atmosphere between 53 and 621 miles high. Not thick enough to burn up Meteors it is the environment of ICBMs and at it’s outer fringes is generally called ‘Low Earth Orbit’. If you want …

About That Women’s March
So, I was there. Mine is the imperfect one in the back where my sister ran out of dark pink and had to finish with light. In some ways it was quite an effort. TMC and I had to arrange housing with my cousin and get down there. On the day it was a crowded …

Happy New Beard!
On Cody Johnson I mean. You know, just yesterday I was at my Therapist’s and she remarked that I seemed to be weathering the SAD Season. We meet more frequently during this time and I have fewer life events to report on because outside the Holidays what happens? Coincidently February is fraught and March is …

From Minsk to Pinsk

By Robyn Dixon, Washington Post Jan. 17, 2020 Eight years ago, President Vladimir Putin decreed that Russia must become a leading scientific power.

Ladies and Gentlemen- Jimmy Smits

The Giant Impeach
Have you ever read Roald Dahl’s story? It’s unsettling in that Hans Christian Andersen kind of way actually and a frequent target of censors who think it not suitable fare for children.

A Can Of Worms
The metaphor is that it takes some doing to get those wriggly creepy crawlies back in it. If I was looking for something punny I might reference the Diet of Worms (it’s a Cathedral in Germany not noom, get over it) which was a conference held to form a response to Martin Luther’s Protestant Reformation. …

All The Fuss
Evidently Lev Parnas (tonight’s guest on Rachel) really does have receipts and there’s a lot of ‘smoking gun’ talk as the Articles, all two of them unfortunately, proceed to the Senate. Oh, Shiff, Nadler, Lofgren, Jeffries, Demings, Crow, and Garcia. Bolton’s Ghost Writer is apparently putting the finishing touches on his book which at least …

Minneapolis (or Providence)
Hey, I do things, I go places, I know people. And people know me, I’ve been to some Netroots (“My name is Roger Murdock. I’m an Airline Pilot.”) and among the pleasures of that experience is that I’ve had a chance to chat with some fairly prominent folks who are not instantly recognizable. I swear …

Grow Up
Normally I wouldn’t touch this topic with a ten foot pole (Available from your local D & D outfitter at a mere 10 Coppers per for touching objects you wouldn’t otherwise. Experienced explorers go for the premium collapsible model at 10 GP. How did I make my money? Selling Picks, Shovels, and Pans to Suckers.) …
