Today’s Reflection:

Another nice blue-sky day here. No complaints.

The AZ midterms are not making national news. That’s good. I am very tired of the ads that have filled local stations and national media talking about the midterms…like they know how people will vote. I’m bored with all this.

I am expecting several deliveries today. Bought groceries and other things from Walmart and have an Amazon Haul delivery today or tomorrow.

I re-upped my AARP membership for 3 years. I just got my new card. Nice.

The news on the Cornell Rape case is very disheartening. Everyone deserves their day in court. I am saddened as I hear how rape cases are handled around this country.

Picture of the Day:

Chattooga River, North Carolina, United States

Few rivers combine wild scenery and whitewater quite like the Chattooga. Rising in the mountains near Cashiers, North Carolina, it winds through Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina in the United States, dropping nearly half a mile in elevation along its journey. With no dams upstream, its water levels can change quickly after rainfall, adding excitement for rafters and kayakers

 

Interesting Space Facts:

Pluto is smaller than the United States.

If you were to walk around the equator of Pluto, it would be the same distance as walking from London to Denver (well, plus or minus an extra 56 miles).
