The Uncertainty Principle: Somebody help that poor man!

I installed and mounted my geezer weather station.

It's working perfectly.

An old microphone stand and clamps as a mount,
zip-tied to a wooden post.
Jury-rigged, but it works.
Having immediate access to weather information
from your own backyard is a constant amazement.
Although I admit I am easily entertained.

Recent photographs of our front stoop flowers,
for this summer.

Just to show the results of the front yard work we've put in this spring.

We've been working pretty hard to beautify the homestead----

It's no wonder all of us are worn out by the end of the day.

True story---

The other day i was meeting a fellow retiree friend for lunch.
I was, as always, way too early.
While standing around I was suddenly struck by the thought that i needed
to pay attention to how i appeared
waiting for my friend to show up--
outside a local burger joint.
I needed to look active--involved in the world around me...

It was important that i did not appear to look
lost---or confused.

At my age if you allow yourself to become lost in thought
while waiting in public
this thoughtfulness could be misconstrued...

I could wind up in a

I made sure i checked both my phone and watch often
and actively paced...until my friend show up.

A Soyuz capsule currently docked with the International Space Station
just did an "oops my bad" thing.

Supposedly, on it's own, suddenly and without warning
the Soyuz rocket engine fired for no reason,
pushing the ISS into a different orbit....

I bet this was a WTF circumstance?

The upcoming big problem is that this particular

Soyuz capsule has to return a crew to Earth in a few days?

If it's engines are suddenly firing out of control

this could be not such a good thing you know?

This would make it a bit tough piloting it---

to what's considered to be a safe landing by Soyuz standards.

NASA and the Russians are advising:

I obtained this unusual Sony CFS-700

in beautiful condition.

Speakers that rotate, a tubular metal frame combined with

Japanese futuristic styling.

Despite all of the above it's not just all show, it sounds great!

The CFS-700 does win the strangest design award

in my boombox collection.
An additional weird thing with this box is that
it sounds way way better outside as compared to inside.
This is the exact opposite of all my other boomboxes.
Because of this weirdness it has become the go-to
boombox for Jazz on the back porch the last few days.
