Kind of a Christo thing
Mission TARONI put a silk-wrapped mannequin in space. From The Dorothy Project. It has implications.
Today it’s frost
The Monroe County Alert System just called me. I didn’t answer, because they call too much. Glad to hear from them when there’s a tornado risk, or when one is coming. Deep snow is another. But … fog? Thunderstorms? (Those can be almost daily in the summer.)
Close your invisible robot eyes
This is good news, but not yet enough. Spying on people going about their ordinary lives is wrong, whether it’s the government, your car, or your TV doing it.
April showers
Even as a little kid, I thought “March winds and April showers bring May flowers” was bogus. First, we went almost every Easter from New Jersey to North Carolina, where New Jersey’s May flowers would be gone by April. Second, it seemed too general to be a rule, as well as too geographically specific. But I’m reminded of the saying today, as a soft, steady rain falls here in Southern Indiana, which is more like North Carolina than New Jersey. (We’re at the same latitude as Washington DC.) Crocuses are long done, and so are the daffodils. Tulips and irises are up. And our dry garden (of hardy native plants) and lawn are drinking it in.
