Danger Zone, Kenny Loggins
Next song up in rotation: "crash and burn."

Capital raise: Tesla just announced a "mixed shelf" capital raise. We all knew it was coming; just curious when, how?

Quick scan: running through the headlines, it appears many, many "negative" stories about Tesla this morning. Can one use a snowball analogy this close to summer?

Hot wheels: Sophia is into "Hot Wheels." She always wants me to join in but the "play" was minimal at best. And then I was at Target looking for something else when I happened to see the race tracks available for "Hot Wheels." This was a no-brainer. Fifteen minutes later we were having a blast. And then back to Target to get another car. LOL.


More humans: I was going to ignore this story linked over at Drudge but it turns out to be a WSJ story. Wow:

Fossil points to a vanished human species in Himalayas. Fossil jaw discovered in highlands of Tibet shows the Denisovans lived at an altitude that would leave many people today starved for oxygen. 

Most surprising: whereas most WSJ articles "struggle" for comments -- getting zero to one or two comments, this article -- which I would have considered a "throwaway" -- already has 158 comments. Best comment:

Everyone is interested in evolution. But, the headline of this article is not aii true.  There are many today who are starved for oxygen at even moderate altitudes - they are called democrats.

From an earlier post:

Most interesting: the "real sixth extinction" is the one no has talked about yet. The "Homo" extinction. See below.

Global Warming: The Science Is Settled

But ... Human Evolution ... The Answer Is Still Out There

From The WSJ:

• a new species 
• "a good case that this is something new that we have not seen before"
• for the first time, the Philippines is part of the evolutionary debate
• new species: Homo luzonensis

I count no less than eleven species of Homo that have gone extinct, and all during the "cold Ice Age," not during any global warming Hot Age.

Homo rudolfensis, Home naledi, Homo floresiensis, Homo luzonensis, and Denisovan are mere blips on the evolutionary stage.

So far, "we" have identified 12 species of "homos." Eleven have gone extinct. 11/12 = 92% homo species have gone extinct. I don't think any of the previous five global mass extinctions were worse. Just saying.
