Everywhere I look, all I see is fking ants. All around the house and property and not only me. Seems like there is an explosion in the ant population this year and everyone is having issues with them. Fortunately they are common black ants and not red one's but they still get into everything.

Gonna need lots of ant traps

a little closer.

On July 20th, 1969 two American Astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Apollo 11 Mission, landed on the moon.

I remember watching TV at the home of Billy and Bobby Robbins (singer and bassist for the rock band Fantasy) while their drummer Greg stated "Wouldn't it be funny is the moon were really made of cheese?" Maybe Greg had been smoking something.

This was a time long before the digital age and much of the equipment used by NASA was analog. I remember someone saying many of the calculations used on this flight were done by slide rulers...

Are you kidding me?

Some say it was a hoax and that America was in a cold war with Russia so the entire mission was staged. Possible?

NASA reports the longest lunar eclipse of the century will happen FRIDAY 7-27-2018 transforming the moon into a reddish-orange ball for more than 100 minutes.
Unfortunately, it won't be visible in North America.
The path of this eclipse will be visible in parts of the Middle East, Africa and some parts of Asia and India.

To get an idea of this eclipse, it's supposed to be similar than the one that appeared in January 31st 2018.

Probably fair to say, consistent with all other marked differences here and elsewhere between the sexes, that women get much more mail/notice/likes/ favorites/etc. from men than the other way around. So one might think that we men would immediately follow along whenever a lady shows even a bit of such interest thusly. Some may, perhaps most do. I actually try to respond to all such contact, at least initially. But with CS hardly being a lovefest of sobriety, groundedness, and other signals of sound mental health, regrettably, one must, with all due diligence, do a little vetting and screening out. Many ways to do so, of course. But I prefer psychological subtlety. Sure, it cuts down the numbers of possibilities early on, but even with high specificity, I'll take higher sensitivity, keeping the numbers of false positives higher, at the regrettable cost of false negatives. Epidemiology and public health. But which fellow won't follow clever banter no matter how dangerous the trip? Now noone will ever look my way. Ouch?

Twice this week I've seen stories that scientists think they've figured it out what causes planes and boats to disappear in the region known as the Bermuda Triangle:
Monster Waves

Those guys need to stop smoking that funny tobacco.

Mentioned in one article, tsunami-like rogue waves reaching 100 feet tall. Storms from the North and South of the Atlantic Ocean converging on each could cause this. They created a model and in simulation believed this was the reason the ship USS Cyclops disappeared in 1918.
Okay, I'm with you on that.

Explain to me how aircraft flying at several thousand feet could get hit by a 100 tidal wave?
How could dozens of planes disappear?
Many lost radio contact with the tower including a squadron.

Somebody needs to rethink the wave theory.
