The Child asks the Father

The Child asks the Father:

What was it like
When we lived back on Mars?
Were we nice to each other?
Did we live in our cars?

The Father replies:

Mars was once beauty;
Then covered in scars.
The sky was so dirty;
Could not see the stars.

The Child asks:

And what about Mothers?
Were they robots like you?
And what about pets?
Were they robots too?

The Father replies:

Stop asking questions;
It's not good for you.

Red Rock Sunset tonight

It's a relief to know it's "just a sunset," and not time to pack and go.

Please tell me: Any local schools or Scout troops recycling aluminum cans?

I have a small but steady supply of cans I collect from neighbors. Looking for a non- profit place to donate them. I will drop them off. Thank you in advance!

North Red Rock Road tonight and last night

What a wonderful feeling to see the sun set under blue skies again!

The air is fairly clear and cool in this part of Rancho Haven. Just a hint of smoky smell lingers in the air.

I came through the South checkpoint about 5pm, and at that time the North end was closed at Quarterhorse.

Thank you everyone for working together in so many ways, from fighting the firestorm to saving the animals to making sure our homes stayed secure while we were away. Love to you all♥️

I pray for courage Now I’m old To greet the sickness And the cold I pray for courage In the night To bear the burden Make it light I pray for courage In the time When suffering comes and Starts to climb I pray for courage At the end To see death coming As a friend. Leonard Cohen

Prismatic clouds in a bright blue sky

Looking east about noon today, Red Rock Rd / Dry Valley area. Thought it was my polarizing shades until I doffed them and saw it even brighter.

Update: I had originally done (what turned out to be) a cursory web search and decided this phenomenon was "cloud iridescence."

And then a kind stranger, r/Astromike23 set me on the right path:

"This is not cloud iridescence, but something far more rare: a circumhorizontal arc. Nice catch!

It can only occur when the Sun is very high in the sky, and you've got plate-oriented ice crystals."

And I appreciate the correction, and also knowing it was an even rarer sight!

"Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.

Never Forget

It used to be you could go to a special place in the heart of Reno, and commune with a special, mysterious being.

​

Until one day recently, when the special, mysterious being left the special place in the heart of our fair city.

​

I feel bereft.

​

I never got to say goodbye.

​

But I will Always Remember.

Need referrals for licensed and bonded roofing contractor

Modular home. Roof is 26+ years old. In some areas shingles are curling. We have been gluing the bad spots down, and have no leaks.

​

Out of the blue, our home insurance company told us they were coming by to inspect our roof, and take pictures.

​

The follow-up message we got insists we replace (rather than repair,) entire roof by October or face non- renewal of our policy.

​

We have asked our agent to recommend three roofers, so we can get estimates. It's been some time since we asked, and no reply.

​

So we reach out to you, our neighbors, to give us some guidance. Who do you know that does a good job at reasonable rates?

​

Thanks for your help and insight.
