Why I Love Chris Rose

 How did a fey, weakling, incurious, gorging, cowardly bully take control of an entire American political party and drag the country into ruin and division? What could anyone possibly fear in this man? His Tweets? Jesus Fuckballs, he's a bloated shit cake with no empathy, intelligence or imagination. It boggles the mind.

I Just Learned this Today

 In the city of New Orleans is the Katrina memorial.  Below are pictures of it from the air.  

From New Orleans Uncovered Facebook page:

The New Orleans Katrina Memorial's design evokes the hurricane's shape. Top photo shows the location of the memorial between the cemeteries near the end of Canal Street. The memorial received the remains of the scores of unidentified or unclaimed victims and was dedicated to their memory.













I originally posted about the idea of this memorial in 2007. Here's the link: https://thanks-katrina.blogspot.com/2007/04/nola-katrina-memorial.html

Here it is! My photo of the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn through my telescope just after 6pm tonight. In addition to the planets, 4 of Jupiter's moons were visible including Europa, Ganymede, Io & Callisto. Saturn's Titan moon was also visible.  I stacked many images for more clarity and color but also so you could see the moons and planets (different exposures used) in the same image. Equipment included Nexstar Celestron 6SE with Nikon D750 attached.
