In my last entry I said that Theia, the Mars sized planet that crashed into proto-Earth, was from outsaide the snow line, and formed with lots of water. Turns out, new chemical analysis indicates Theia was an inner solar system neighbor. So, I was wrong. We didn't get water from Theia. And we aren't the feak show planet I pictured.
Or maybe we are. Still a freak show of a planet. A glorious and magnificent one of a kind freak show. I'm good with that.
We had our first big snow and if you have never made a naked snow angel, well, you should at least once. My snow angels have spectacular manly buttocks. 90th percentile buttocks.
I have a feeling this is going to be a snowy winter, and so I have to adjust my enthusiasm towards that. Not that I have to. As a Northern Maritime Barbarian, I thrive in a winter wonderland. As I recall, the last big snowy Chicago winter, 2013, was a fucking blast.
We did another bronze pour. I include this picture because this is how you are supposed to pour , choking the cup, no old man piss trickle. Someone suggested I get a shirt that says that. I also want a shirt that says "Food! Where is food?"
This was my post-pour meal. Yum.
We have no idea if we're one of a kind just because there is only one earth planet in our solar system. We can't actually go to other stars and check. We may be quite common in the universe.
ReplyDeleteI visited a guy in the winter who lived in New Hampshire I think. Regardless one of those snow bound eastern states. The family had their own sauna and after we were well heated through and through we ran out into the snow naked. I still prefer winter with no snow.
