This was an unlocked article at the Scientific American website, excerpted from the April 2020 issue. As a fan of astronomy and of the space opera branch of science fiction and fantasy, there was no way I wasn't going to distract myself from my troubles for at least a few minutes to look this one over.

I keep saying: the Star Trek people are going to need to update their maps too. This is one more part of why.

I spent kindergarten and part of grade one in that town. So the name caught my attention. The details are hidden halfway down this particular page, I'm afraid.

I expect it'll be some months before confirmation tests in countries other than mainland China and Japan are concluded one way or the other on this lead?

...that I've established for myself is that once a week at minimum, I take the time to do some "sprucing up" on my Flickr account's photostream. Adding subject and location tags as deemed appropriate, checking in with groups I'm moderating, and so on. Of course, I add this activity into my job search diary - required as part of the unemployment insurance qualifications rules - since I'd like to advertise my services as either photographer, illustrator or graphic designer. Full-time salaried, freelance, whatever I can figure out a way to manage. Along with all the other kinds of work I'm applying for.

Plus, my curating the account has a certain degree of mental health value to me and my contacts at Flickr.

So I wonder how their new parent company SmugMug's thought through their current pricing schemes. Particularly in the present circumstances.

In any case, if you're interested to see what I have on display?

We might expect a thunderstorm overnight tonight. Certainly, rain at above-freezing temperatures over night and a climb to +17º C tomorrow during the day...followed by a drop that night to -12 º C. With flurries, maybe.

Yikes? Or not?

Yes, it's three days old. I apologize for the delay and the harms caused as a result.

Been washing my hands so much the last couple of days that the skin is cracking.

That's all.

Pencils, pens, stylus and tablet hooked up to the laptop computer...doesn't matter.
