Artemus 2

This moon trip is pretty exciting. The furthest humans have ever been away from Earth. I don’t think that record will last long. We’re going to Mars in less than 50 years I’m sure.

They’re at their furthest point about now, they should be back Friday. Landing in the Pacific!

Yoga With Weights

while I was in the US, I took a yoga with weights class at Thrive Yoga. I had been resistant to taking such a class because it seemed to be drifting away from the purpose of yoga, to bind the mind and body. But it came available so decided to check it out.

As I suspected, some of the spiritual-ness was lost, The class was kind of a workout. The weights were light and mildly challenging. I felt a pleasant muscle soreness the next day

The word yoga means “to bind” or “yolk”, like connect a cattle to a plow. The purpose of yoga is to make it so we can meditate better Westerners have turned it into a lot more than that. I’ve always told myself I want to stick to the original intent.

Im glad I went to the class, I haven’t decided yet what I think of yoga with weights overall.

Happy Thursday!

Big Bottles Of Glue

Glue is a waste of money. You need glue, you go buy glue, you use a tiny bit and put the bottle away.

When you need glue again and go get your bottle and none will come out. It’s hardened in the bottle. So you have to go buy another bottle.

The only exceptions are epoxy, where you mix the two parts, and they sell these multi-packs of teeny tiny bottles of super glue that you’re actually supposed to throw away when done. Good job Epoxy and Super Glue makers.

The.rest of you gluemakers can just bite it.

My daily rant.

Have a good day!

Heading Home

I’m at Washington National Airport, I got here ridiculously early due to alleged delays at airport security. (There were none)

Turned in the rental car ok and at my gate.

Below is a picture up a tree that I took yesterday that I took while on a walk with my mom.

Looking forward to getting home.

Winter Me

This trip has been colder than I expected.

Here’s me in my cold weather gear. I’ve made that hat since the 1970’s

Also this trip, I had lunch with a very dear friend , Jennifer. We met when I was at Navy school, again, in the 1970’s.

Tomorrow I’m headed south to the Cayman Islands, home sweet home. I’ve heard it’s a nightmare getting through airport security, so I’ll be leaving extra early tomorrow.

Have a great day!

Artemis

I read this book quite quickly. In short it’s about a woman who lives at the first city on the moon

She’s a smuggler, and imports contraband. She gets involved in something way over her head involving mining, superconductors and organized crime

Im pretty sure I had read this book before but a lot of it seemed new

Irs a good blood, worth reading..

Have a good weekend!

Rainy Cloudy

its a rainy cloudy morning at my mom’s. I don’t really have plans for the day.

Last night I was dreaming/worrying about not being able to find the rental car return. I don’t leave for several days and it’s too early to worry about that. But try telling my sleeping brain.

No worries! All is good ! Have a great day!

Tahini

Below is a picture of my hosts dog, Tahini. Very friendly pooch.

I’m heading back up to my mothers today. Then it will almost be time to get ready to head back to Cayman.

Have a great day!
