Sunday 28- I did my stretches and ran two miles.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 49 and 72 degrees, N- NW winds 10 to 14 MPH, humidity around 12 percent, clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Monday: Sunny, with a high near 76. West wind 5 to 7 mph becoming southeast. Monday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 55. West wind between 11 and 13 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph.”
I found something very interesting while surfing the web; “Star Set to Collide with Solar System.” It’s an orange dwarf star called Gliese 710 whose path through the galaxy will bring it into the outer part of our solar system called the Oort Cloud and possibly into the Kuiper Belt. This could most likely bring comets and other debris raining down on the inner planets causing catastrophic damage. Gliese is 63 Light Years away and will take some 1.5 million years to get here, so I guess we don’t have to worry for a while.
I went for my evening walk listening to Astro 10: General Astronomy: The Copernican Revolution.
I read aloud from the textbooks: “Astronomy Today" about Venus’s surface; “The Cell: a Molecular Approach” about Telomeres that form loops at the ends of chromosomes protecting them from degradation, and plays a crucial role in their replication.
I continued working on my drawing. It’s starting to look a little better.
I read a few chapters of “Chasing the Dime” by Michael Connelly where our genius hero gets himself deeper into a muddle with the darker side of prostitution and the thugs that run it. He also lies to police about things he’s done and the methods he used to trace down leads into the whereabouts of the missing prostitute; he may now be a suspect in her murder.
I did my stretches and lifted weights, practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
