Sometime in 2022, Covid became post covid. We went from normal to the new normal to what now feels like the new unnormal to me. Everything is different, in a meh way. It began with me becoming monumentally old and celebrating that by taking care of a fevered toddler on new year’s eve. I had[…]
The comet NEOWISE was expected to be seen by the naked eye in the northwest sky at about 325 degrees northwest and around 11 degrees above the horizon. Low light pollution was recommended and since we live surrounded by trees and lights, I headed out in the Alfa in the search of darkness. In Ann[…]
