LOCAL: I lost last week making crafts for holiday gifts. I will make an attempt to unload some of them at a shop at wholesale. I pass time with fam for various reasons. Birthdays, medical care, banquets, seasonal household stuff. A weekend in autumn’s taper passes. It feels like we arrive at winter this week. It goes below freezing at night. I saw a meteor flash across the morning sky Monday at 6 am.
The government reopens. Honestly, I feel no difference in SW PA. Like someone left a freezer open in Peru and I feel no different. There’s nothing here as much as before. Maybe less. This place is still digging out from the loss of coal and steel in the 20th century. Layoffs continue.
Drone: I flew none. Neither did anyone else, apparently. I received no leads. The wind was high, the temps low. My old drone is soon to be banned due to NDAA stuff. Not very free market of us. I have new drones arriving soon. As far as I know, it’s only in the Epstein file eighty times. My new drone is wildly inappropriate for, say, indoor flights on a crosstown bus. My drone is inappropriate for a funeral. My drone is inappropriate for a birth. But not for a wedding.
Science: Still interested in planetary science. Still interested in avionics. Still interested in biology. Still interested in particle physics. Still savoring certain math formulas. Still reading preprints.
Pro tip: You lose half your readership for every formula you publish in a research paper, I heard, unverified. So, in my transplant organ transportation market research, I published one formula, up front, which is basically x/1 or x. Everyone has organs, and everyone needs them. If you read my market research in Jimmy Durante’s voice, it starts to make sense. I know my audience has no idea who Jimmy Durante is. However, in the appendix, I have some choice refence material that backs up the proposals.
Maybe my next project. Arduino Official Store | Boards Shields Kits Accessories — Arduino Online Shop
Mars ESCAPADE launched. ESCAPADE Mission Trailer.
Art: I made about ninety pet rocks for holiday gifts in one week. If I sell 72 of them at $12.47 + tax each, I gross about $900. I will try to sell half of them for $28 dollars total. Take a bath in a peasant’s misery. You’re soaking in it. I have another small crate of about thirty more pet rocks from a project ten years ago. It’s robbery, I say. Highway. Robbery. I rob myself of time. I look at my hands and say I don’t want any trouble. My hands never listen. I had about twenty sessions, squeezed thirty hours into the project in the wee hours.

I want some of those pet rocks! How much for the Christmas stocking, green cat, spaceship, and a baguette?
