Hoo boy

Been away. Drove a couple thousand miles over the last couple of weeks. Got lucky and didn't hit any rain, flash floods, tornadoes or hailstorms. That's hard to do these days. Spent some time visiting good friends. Saw some beautiful country, some gorgeous hummingbirds, some wild donkeys, deer, javelinas, ugly vultures, Cooper's Hawks, and lots and lots of little green men all over Roswell, New Mexico. 

But it's always good to get home, even if home is a jumble of stuff crammed into a tiny space. 

I see SpaceX finally got Starship to run a successful mission from Boca Chica, Texas. I watched it on YouTube, and after the "Ship" "landed" in the Indian Ocean, Musk came on and gave a preview of the next several years and his Mars obsession. (Click the pic below)

Building 1000 Starships per year in Texas? And another 1000 in Florida? Having hundreds, even thousands, of ships in the air at the same time during the Earth to Mars window? I think it's madness. Sorta seems like an all-out dash for the exit (Mars). 

Meanwhile, in D.C., another Luckovich gem. You know clicking on the pic makes it get bigger and easier to read, right?

Hoo boy!
