SpaceX

When will that first manned flight be ready to go? 

After today's second explosion in as many attempted landing, this from CNBC:

Elon Musk previously said that Starship could potentially fly people in 2020 [wasn't that last year?], but he’s since acknowledged that the rocket still has many milestones, including “hundreds of missions,” to go before that happens.

This Isn't Rocket Science

I see that a Harvard professor has come up with five activities that can increase your happiness fast and they're free. I can come up with five activities I wish I could do -- five activities that would increase my happiness immensely and would be completely free:

• take Sophia to Tutor Time without wearing a mask
• stop by the apartment manager's office to say "hi" without wearing a mask
• walking through the grocery store without wearing a mask
• having a document notarized at AAA without wearing a mask
• going to the public library without wearing a mask

However, having said that, here's what I'm looking forward to ... all right around the corner --

• grilling on the Weber again
• crawdad season --- very soon
• sitting poolside early in the morning, reading, watching the birds
• swimming late in the evening
