It seems like it would be worthwhile to determine the actual airspeed of the object by correcting for the camera's motion ie. angular velocity of the moving background. abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/new... #GerogeKnapp

2 billion tons of coal a year has now turned into about a trillion tons of CO2 for the accumulated total. Approximate back of the envelope math: Divide a trillion by the mass of the atmosphere(~5.5 quadrillion tons) and you get 180 ppm increase. 420ppm(now)-280ppm(pre-industrial) is 140ppm.

People Who Choose to Live With Less Report Higher Happiness and a Stronger Sense of Purpose Than Big Spenders. What Is Voluntary Simplicity? Fulfilling relationships, not more stuff, may be the key to wellbeing

The simpler my life gets the happier I am. That's likely the case for others who go down the path of simplification.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

2/ Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hoagie Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."

1/ And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pickle. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three.

Up On The Roof

🎢When my poll numbers start getting me down
And reality is just too much for me to face
I'm pulled right up to the top of the stairs
To get away from my splintering base

On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there, mean facts below can't bother me🎢

(Apologies to Gerry Goffin)
