Haven’t read the article. yet
But I had enlightened experience
Visiting the Burton Barr
Public Library in Phoenix
This Summer Solstice Day

It’s a marvel at light & shadow architecture
had special event today
(They do every summer solstice )
Shadow & lights
from ceiling skylights
purposely positioned
climbing the walls, geometric shapes,
lighting candle pillar
all with geometric precision
Our own stonehenge

I got business card from one of the ladies
Who was videoing the event
Video hopefully to follow …

“It’s a bit like when you put a stone in the fire and it gets really hot,” Dr. Ferreira says. “If you take that stone out of the fire, it’s going to release that heat slowly.” That allows the water world to experience balmy springlike temperatures year-round.

my defense
judge it was hot potato
that why threw it…. Mostly

Next up on the merry-go-round . . .

        or
        Hubble’s Hubble constant

Whatever. “So far, the smart money is still on cosmic confusion.”

NYT is definitely messing with my ability to read the article
Want subscription
Cancel my subscription....

Nonetheless I found this

which is partial verbatim reading of the article
I believe

In conclusion I can only remark that my par seconds
are evolving into steady eddy state

Age, I figure

Mostly

dandresow: Thanks. Haven't done anything with rocks for years. Just fixed an older HP 18 inch and dug out a 10 inch and 18in Lortone and I have a couple of trim saws and need to make something to cab with. We stay broke and I only have enough to put oil in 1 Dec 1, 2024 16:49:20 GMT -5 *
