Today’s
Reflection:
It’s another great day as summer draws to an end.
Last night, at about 9:30pm I had someone knocking on my front window.
I opened the door to see a cop. He said someone had reported a disturbance at
my address regarding a male/female fight. He apologized for disturbing me and
said he would check with neighbors. He knocked on my Hopi neighbor’s door. They
weren’t involved in any violence. Glad it was not a real incident, but still a
little disturbing. There was nothing on
the Flagscanner site that reports most police actions. I still wonder why the
cop knocked on the window instead of ringing the doorbell.
The other news networks seem to be backing those that were kicked
out of the White House. I’ll see how many refuse to cover the WH until this is
settled.
My mom passed at age 89 in 2008 on this date. My dad passed at 80
on Sept 22, 1994. Both are still missed.

Picture of the
Day:
The image captures the
jagged skyline of Cadini di Misurina at sunrise in Veneto, northeastern Italy.
Visitors heading towards nearby Tre Cime di Lavaredo often come for the famous
route only to find their attention hijacked by the Cadini. Part of the Dolomites,
these needle-like peaks reaching more than 2,800 metres at their highest point
seem sculpted for drama. The twist? They started out as ancient coral reefs
Interesting Space
Facts:
The Whirlpool Galaxy
(M51) was the first celestial object identified as being spiral.
The grand, spiraling arms of the Whirlpool Galaxy are made up of long lanes of stars and gas, sprinkled with lots of space dust.
These arms act as star
formation factories, compressing hydrogen gas and creating clusters of new
stars.
