I just spent a not insignificant amount of time trying to figure out what that bright star I can just glimpse near the horizon might be. Have concluded it is probably a streetlight.
Have fun in the future, meara!
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ryan has spent a not insignificant amount of time tonight contemplating the stars as well, through the prism of Isaac Newton and Edmund Halley. He has informed me that I'm forbidden to watch Cosmos without him, as then I'll have seen things that he hasn't yet.

Aaand it's back up to Parkville because apparently my pool crew can't get the ph right after a week. Not impressed with the new pool coordinator.

Ah, young minds are great.
My pool doesn't open until 8 today! Glad I checked.
Tub had actually drained this morning, hooray! Drain is still super slow, but I think just continuing with this same stuff for a while might be the way to go. Maybe I should be more concerned about adding helpful bacteria to the sewage system, but I'm not. I'm sure there's a lot of the unhelpful kind in there.

My pool opens at 7 today. Which is fine, but blah.

It is true. I'm thrilled to see him so excited by science. (Or, indeed, Science!)

Have fun on your travels, meara!
Today I'm hoping to get some yard-long beans from my CSA into a salt solution for fermenting, to bake a pound cake for trifle tomorrow, and vacuum my apartment.
I've been marathoning X-Files episodes lately, so I'm happy to see that Duchovney is in a new show this fall called Aquarius. [link]

Not too hot-hot (83F here) but dew-point is in the 70s, so it's unpleasant.
