Monday Missive

Good morning. It’s Monday and these are the thoughts running through my head.

  • Today the astronauts on Artemis II will be the first humans to see the far side of the moon since the Apollo missions. I admit that I have never given much thought to the dark side of the moon. Have you?
  • It is interesting to note that the astronauts will be using the following cameras on this mission: GoPro, Nikon D5 and Z9 mirrorless, and iPhones. I will be interested in seeing the EXIF data if NASA releases it.
  • Our neighbors gave us a dozen fresh eggs. Their chickens often roam on our property. They are creating a larger fenced area to protect them from predators (hawks and foxes).
  • Speaking of neighbors, our two newest neighbors are both much younger than usual for this area. Housing is affordable here as opposed to many areas. These two homes with 3+ acres of land sold for $350K and $460K. It is nice to have them as neighbors.
  • I have been working out in the gym 1-2 times a week and also working out in the gym’s small therapy pool for an hour each week. I am fortunate to have these resources living in such a small rural area.
  • Speaking of the gym, this is where I usually listen to my audio books. Obviously I am not going enough because I am slow in finishing our book club books. I am way behind. Do you listen to audio books? If so, where and when? Also, to readers in general, what are you reading?
  • The next two weeks are sprinkled with doctor visits and physical therapy. Week after next will be my next eye injection then I’m off to Florida for a much needed respite.

See you tomorrow – perhaps with photos from the dark side of the moon.
