For now, here’s a link to my YouTube playlists, if you’re interested.  I just got tired of posting to the Other Letter.  I had a good run with this.  The Other Letter has run its course.  I’m not a reporter, I’m not a writer, even.  Yet from time to time, I may post anything that seems pressing, or worth posting...

1. Karen Carpenter, of The Carpenters fame, passed away at the age of 32, or did she?

2. Ever hear of “Katie Johnson”?  Her lawyer filed a complaint with the F.B.I., regarding Trump.

3. Hair is not DNA evidence.  It is a follicle’s secretion, it is not made of cells containing cell-blueprint DNA.  There is no such thing as hair cells, hair cannot reproduce, like blood corpuscles can.

4. Winter constellation, Orion’s Belt, consists of three stars, averaging one-thousand light years distant.  Thus, the photons leaving those stars, reaching your eyes today, were emitted in c. 1026AD.  If that sounds impossible (and I am in this camp), then Albert Einstein was wrong in calculating the speed of light (186,000 miles a second), and a light year (5,865,696,000,000 miles equals 186,000 miles, times 60 seconds, times 60 minutes, times 24 hours, times 365 days).

   Which can only mean that objects are closer to the earth-bound viewer than thought previously.  In other words, when the Moon loses orbital velocity from the friction of centrifugal force, there will still be a means to visit another solar system, because it won’t be so far away.

   Another thing to consider about space travel: An object in motion effortlessly remains in motion, unless acted upon by another force, per Isaac Newton.  Add booster rockets, reach cruising speed, and spaceships can go incredibly fast, and far, with a minimum of fuel.

5. More proof that we are not just the product of random DNA mutation (as geneticists and evolutionists would propose): ...And we can talk, gees, can we talk.

6. Economic slowdowns (such as that caused by government shutdowns), must effect the weather, and slow climate change.  Less greenhouse gas is emitted when the economy slows, travel is at a premium.  COVID-19 was another example of less use of internal combustion engines, and less emission of carbon-based, fossil fuels, and its by-product, greenhouse gases.

7. There is a book called “Silent Spring,” written by Rachel Carson.  It was about how the proliferation of DDT almost made Spring silent.  We may have another silent Spring around here, I just put a squirrel atop my hill.  The birds are not accustomed to these temps, and may join the squirrel atop the hill.  Feed the birds, become a birder, buy some birdseed, put up a bird feeder.  Just saying.

8. Ctrl + "u", in most browsers (like my favorite, Opera), will show the underlying code that I used to create this web page.

Have a nice day.
