My Rambling Thoughts
Lazy day here. We had a
nice monsoon rain yesterday afternoon that cooled things off very nicely. Ended up watching way too much Netflix last
night. Tired today.
The rain helped a little
with our fire danger, but the rest of AZ is still ablaze.

Trivia Hive Answers
Yellow dwarf
As Pink Floyd might have
said, 'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Yellow Dwarf.' Hmm, doesn't quite
have the same ring to it. Anyway, our sun is indeed a yellow dwarf star, but
there are still things we don't know about it. One of those is the way solar
winds work, which is part of what the upcoming Parker Solar Probe will attempt
to look into when it travels the sun's outer 'corona' in 2018. Sources: NASA,
The New York Times

Disclaimer: All opinions are mine…feel free to agree or disagree.
All ‘data’ info is from the internet sites and is usually checked with
at least one other source, but I have learned that every site contains mistakes
and sadly once the information is out there, many sites simply copy it and is
therefore difficult to verify. Also for events occurring before the Gregorian
calendar was adopted [1582] the dates may not be totally accurate.
