March 31st -- Drop-Dead Deadline -- March 6, 2023

If you go to twiiter, and search "Willow Project," tweets are running about 20 - 1, maybe 30 - 1, with those opposing the project outnumbering those who support the project. 

As someone noted, this is a "legacy" decision for President Biden. 

In fact, this is all about fundraising and everyone opposing the project is milking it for all it's worth. It would be a shame for President Biden to announce his decision before March 31st when there is so much more money to be raised.

A fool and her money are soon parted.

Night Sky

Both Jupiter and Venus are still easily visible in the southwest sky but two things have changed.

Most notable, the two planets are almost "on top of each other."

Second, they have switched "relative" positions. Up until tonight, Venus was "below" Jupiter; tonight Venus is "above" Jupiter.

I'm observing the night sky from poolside and listening to music -- taking me back to north Yorkshire, where I also spent many wonderful nights observing the night sky and listening to great music with a most wonderful spy. LOL. I was assigned to a USAF intelligence agency at the time.

Coffee

I subscribe to Amazon for Keurig coffee. 

As with all such subscription programs, Amazon alerts me in time to modify the delivery, to include cancelling the subscription.

Right on cue, tonight:

Inflation? What inflation? 

And 30 cents for a cup of coffee vs $3.00 at Starbucks. Folks are nuts.

Speaking of which, we alternate Amazon brand with Starbucks, but I may eliminate the Amazon brand and switch to just Starbucks Pikes Place, but we also regularly use other brands, including Dunkin' and McCafe. But I do prefer Starbucks to Amazon.

If every retailer (on-line or brick/mortar) was as good as Amazon, the world would be a whole lot better off. Just saying. In the four or five years that we've had this subscription, the price has never gone up.

Let's just check Starbucks at Amazon: 

Nope, at 58 cents/cup, I'll wait for local grocery store sale, LOL.

Remember "Tootsie"?

Robin Williams, in "Tootsie," was channeling William Powell in "Love Crazy," 1941.
