A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus...

It takes about 243 Earth days to rotate once on its axis but orbits the Sun in about 225 Earth days.

That schedule would take some adjusting to. Along with the 900F temperatures.

No church this morning because the daughter I take there is across town til noon, no going to my mother in law's house (as it feels bizarre to call it now :bluesad:) so I think this afternoon I'll go to a fossil park and partake of life's greatest joy, being with my children.

May everyone have a happy Sunday in your part of the world!

I must be losing my marbles. I looked outside and thought-" Dam, it's real dark at 9:30 in the morning."
I took an early nap. It's 9:30 at night. I thought it was Monday.

Marcus Licinius Crassus became the richest man in ancient Rome in part because when he saw a fire he'd rush in and offer the owner of burning building money for his property, and he got a lot of land inexpensively that way. I wonder if anyone is using that tactic right now in Maui?

When something is mentioned as having been posted on X, I keep thinking is that a porno or casual sex site? Then a second or two later it clicks.

Any Godzilla film where the monster doesn't do one of those tail slide drop kicks is not worthy of the name.

I am really not surprised to hear about Yevgeny Prigozhin. Figured he'd have an accident sooner rather than later. Such is the way of crazy ass dictators dealing with their enemies and former friends.

Glad to hear that the kids in Pakistan were successfully rescued. That had to be a hard 16 hours.

Good grief, the most blatant political rubout via aircraft I've seen since Republicans whacked Paul Wellstone.

I'm glad that Trump is gonna get a mugshot in Fulton County. Arrested AGAIN! This is the one I was waiting for. I think he's f**ked. Makes me feel all warm and cozy.

Man it's hot.

How hot is it?

This morning I saw a bunch of camels pack up and move north.

Next year is expected to be even hotter. But don't worry, someone somewhere will have a day or two of cold weather and announce that climate change isn't happening.

Checked the weather forecast before bed, weather being my obsession, and it said no rain coming. There is a roaring storm above us right now.

Well done to India, although I am not sure I'd want to travel in a low-budget spacecraft, should they attempt a manned flight to the moon next.
