Today’s
Reflection:
Another nice day here in Flag. And now there is thunder so maybe
some rain.
My sleep score is very good. I’m improving every day.
The UN has some serious work to do after Trump and the President of
Iran address them. First question they need to answer is who is running Iran?
As we all know, just saying you are running a country is not enough.

Cool to know:
Chocolate is (kinda) a
fruit.
In more great chocolate
news, the cocoa
powder that goes into our fave best dark chocolate bars
comes from the "beans" — or fruit of the cacao tree.

The autumn equinox marks
a turning point in the Northern Hemisphere. Occurring each September, it is the
moment when the sun crosses the equator heading south, and day and night are
nearly equal in length. After this celestial balance, daylight gradually
shrinks as the journey towards winter begins.

Facts:
But wait a minute… if
there’s no wind to blow them away, then why is the flag blowing? Well, it
actually wasn’t blowing.
That rippling you see is
due to a stubborn telescopic horizontal rod the astronauts were struggling to
remove from the flag’s upper hem.
