October 11

 Sunny and cool. The forecast for the next week and a half says we will have temperatures in the 60s and low 70s and no rain. I am about ready to take out the last flowers--the hibiscus and petunias. I have almost got the containers rearranged and have a couple I want to empty and get rid of. I am getting to the end of the Bavarian stitch baby blanket and the latest Tunisian afghan so I am looking at possible new projects. I probably won't have to get any new yarn because I found I still had a large amount of both fingering and light worsted weight yarns. It is a good idea to rearrange your stash every now and then get reacquainted with what you have. I have some new lacy patterns that would work for the baby yarn and I saw an interesting Tunisian variation for the worsted yarn. I also brought out some of my crochet thread to work up a simple Bruges lace crochet. But for now my chili is about an hour from done so lets start looking at my e-mail.

Any one else think it was weird the Trump decided to go in for a second physical exam since he entered office? I think the various questions of his physical (and mental) health are getting to him. He has tried for so long to pretend he isn't what he is an old man--the oldest to be inaugurated. Remember when he tried to keep his blond hair and it often appeared orange? Does anyone really believe he weighs 224 pounds?

This doesn't sound good at all. The story focuses on the recent news that Musk's satellite network is losing 2 or 3 per day but notes that that will probably rise to 5 per day within a decade. Those satellites have projected lifespans of 5 years. How much trash that fails to burn up will fall to earth? Or what happens if Musk's people fail to direct one of those toward earth and it collides with another satellite?
