Just took an online quiz and learned that the Bastille was stormed to find more ammunition. Any way I join the French in celebration. Other exciting news includes a possible reevaluation of Pluto’s status as a real planet. That could be a boon to future tourist visits. Oh, there is a dispute between the descendants of John Wayne and Duke University over the use of Duke. I feel that is less important than the status of Pluto. 900,000,000 light years away could be the boundary of the Milky Way. It seems that scientists have discovered the light from Red Giant stars. This means the Milky Way is much larger than we thought. I remember being awe struck by the Milkey Way as seen on the plains of Eastern New Mexico. Also the candy bar goes nicely with a Dr. Pepper.
Amist all the chaos that seems to cover the Earth like a fog in the forrest, there were some good events. The two contenders for the Afghan presidency have agreed to a complete ballot recount and even pubically hugged each other. And Brazil had the joy of not having Argentia win the World Cup , even though that did not bring happiness to Argentina. Porpoises are being attacked by dolphins in Cardigan Bay. What is next? It is probably not related to these attacks but New Zealand has a problem with rats and stoats. When there is a heavy fall seeds in a forest then the rats have a zillion babies and the stoats which are weasels then have a million babies and after they eat the rats they start eating the native flightless birds. I hope the stoats don’t start attacking people. It is a cloudy and beautiful day here in Eagle Rock. I took a nice walk and did not see either rats or stoats. It even rained a few scattered drops. Have the best Bastille Day ever.
