Covid-19 and it’s resurgence, especially with the 18-35 demographic; social unrest in cities across the world; and bigotry, racism, and discrimination.

Questions.
Time To Ask Yourself. I really love when something I am interested in starts off with an assuming statement, which in turn makes the information a lot less interesting: This much we knew: some 66 million years ago an asteroid roughly twice the diameter of Paris crashed into earth, wiping out all land-dwelling dinosaurs and 75 percent of… Continue reading Questions.
Random Thoughts for Mid-June.
Here’s Ten Things I Think I Think. What type of training do astronauts go through to handle the G-forces on takeoff and then the 3-4 month living conditions aboard the International Space Station?

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly.
Headlines To Ponder V.2 Paul McCartney thinks The Beatles were better than the Rolling Stones. There is no doubt that from an innovation standpoint, The Beatles led the explosion of music worldwide.
