I saw an old friend tonight after 15 or so years. My heart is happy.

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.

This was the sky in Boulder after a heavy rain this afternoon.

The wasps in my garden are very chill. I hung up a paper bag stuffed with newspaper next to the stair rail that the paper wasps always wanted to build a nest under and that kept them away. No need for poisons or spray.

In these dark times, it’s great to come together and find something we can all take joy in.

Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

And yet I had a surprisingly smooth landing at DIA. I was expecting much worse.

We were on the 2nd flight out when DIA opened again. Impossibly long lines everywhere.

But you have 2500K, which is greater than 20K

How is 2,500K/kg less than 20K/kg?

Somehow, the timing feels a bit too on point.

Yes, exactly this. I don't know whether to weep or rage. I, too, want to hope.

I'm so sorry. It's especially hard to witness when it hits so close to home (past or present).

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45Β² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9Β² x 5Β² = 2025
40Β² + 20Β² + 5Β² = 2025
My favourite?
1Β³+2Β³+3Β³+4Β³+5Β³+6Β³+7Β³+8Β³+9Β³ = 2025
