Today’s Reflection:
I had my annual Medicare checkup. Yes, I’m old, no I’m not depressed.
All good. My doctor also mentioned that
he is retiring at the end of the year. I sure hope I can find a new one that is
as good as Dr. Ryan. I’m sure he will offer some suggestions.
Last night my CPAP machine stopped working. Taking it in today for
a checkup.
Historical events
Cool to know:
Uranus’s blue glow is
due to the gases in its atmosphere.
Uranus’ atmosphere is
made up of hydrogen, helium, and methane.
The methane in Uranus’
upper atmosphere filters out all the red light from the Sun but reflects the
Sun’s blue light back into space, giving it its blue appearance.
Picture of the Day:
What if a mountain range
could show you its geological history in stripes? At Zhangye National Geopark
in China, the rocks do exactly that. Ridges roll across the landscape in bands
of red, orange, yellow, brown and other earthy tones. Known as the Danxia
landform, this striking landscape was shaped by layers of sedimentary rock
deposited over geological time. Tectonic forces later lifted and folded the
rocks, while weathering and erosion carved them into ridges, cliffs, gullies
and peaks.
