Today’s Thoughts
Great spring weather
continues.
I did an early (7:15am)
blood draw for an upcoming Urology visit. Quick and easy. I was a little surprised
that the assistant watching the procedure was transgender. Not a problem for me,
just something I hadn’t seen at a medical office.
Trump may have to
miss his son’s HS graduation, because his trial is happening that day. Then
this morning he made a comment during jury selection that upset the judge. He
always must be in the spotlight.
The House has sent
Mayorkas impeachment articles to the Senate. I wonder what will happen next.

Did you know…part 2
In 1989,
An Asteroid Nearly Hit Earth
March 23, 1989 is
celebrated as Near Miss Day - and for a good reason. On that day, the Earth had a
close call when an asteroid half a mile across whizzed by us at a
distance of 400,000 miles. This does not sound close, but Earth had been in that same spot a mere six hours earlier.
We didn't learn of the
close encounter until nine days later. The closest call since then was in January 1991, when an
asteroid approximately 30 feet wide passed within 106,000 miles of
Earth.
