This photo is taken from the headwall we just built, facing downstream. This shows why I went with a stacked bag wall, rather than something more permanent. This photo may save me a lot of effort. Do you see it? [Hint: It’s not Sparky. ]

WaPo: First lunar lava cave has been found.
WaPo: First lunar lava cave has been found.
My prior post about China looking at lunar lava caves referenced an article that didn’t have any new information about lunar lava caves. This recent WaPo article announces the first direct evidence of a lunar lava cave. There are a few similar news reports all based on this Radar evidence of cave conduit science article. This science article has less fluff and more interesting information. That link may not remain active, so I will post an interesting diagram from the article.
Sparky and I went out for our morning coffee. He thought it was appropriate to take a dump eight feet from my coffee break bench. I think he was up wind.
Here is the area that Sparky could have chosen to do his dirty business if he had any consideration for others.
Sparky saw a Snoop Dogg video on Youtube, and wanted to make a video. This is as close as we could get.
I probably shouldn’t leave Youtube on when I leave the house.
Sparky shunned Mr. Moose, and decided to play with an acorn.
Google says that dogs shouldn’t eat acorns, but dogs aren’t supposed to eat grapes either. As previously mentioned, Sparky eats rotten garbage he finds in the woods without issue. Sparky’s an adult, so I leave it to his discretion. That’s how resilience is encouraged.
Sparky is not a clumsy dog, so watching him move is interesting to me. I also like his facial expressions and whimsical ears. Most of it is slowed down to one-fifth speed, with a Bela Fleck soundtrack.
WSJ: Boeing workers reject contract.
WSJ: Boeing workers reject contract.
New teachers coming in face a bunch of HR paperwork and a visit from a teachers union official. At Normandy and North Royalton, I declined to join the union. In both cases, the union official was curious, courteous and reasonable. I had a collegial relationship with both through out my career.
Public sector unions are a sham. The union backs a school board member, the member get elected, the union and board negotiate a contract, and everyone goes to the district residents to ask for more money.
Private sector unions don’t have that issue. As an engineer at Caterpillar, I spent quite a bit of time in Caterpillar and Chrysler manufacturing plants. Those unions have different problems, but it isn’t an ethical issue. Industrial unions are prone to being unreasonable.
I shouldn’t have fed Sparky after midnight.
Secret Service Report: Averting School Violence
After the school shooting at Appalachee High School in Georgia, the discussion proceeds as it does after every school shooting. Both sides make their predictable political arguments, and it isn’t clear that anyone really cares. The corporate media encourages a therapeutic response, without providing much actual information. The Secret Service studies these things, but their reports aren’t mentioned much.
Youtube: Humanoid robots belong in the trash
I didn’t think there would be any reason for a second post about Youtube physicist, Angela Collier, but the universe is insisting upon it. Since I watched several of her videos yesterday, the algorithm suggested another one today.
This video is different because it’s more of a pop culture physics rant, then a physics video. Angela mentions that’s it’s not a typical video, but she wanted to get her thoughts out about the impracticality of humanoid robots in movies and TV shows. I’ve thought the same thing, so watched it and found it more engaging.
That isn’t why the universe is encouraging me to post.
WE: Immigration in Springfield Ohio
This article is like the rest of the news reports that are presented if “Haitian immigrants Springfield Ohio” is Googled. All the articles emphasize that Haitians are not eating cats and dogs, or killing geese and ducks. The residents are being pressured into making enthusiastic statements about the Haitian immigrants or get accused of being a racist.
Nobody asks about life in Springfield.
