madgravityWednesday 25- I did my stretches.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 85 to 109 degrees, calm winds humidity around 38 percent, clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Thursday: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy, with a high near 104. Calm wind becoming southeast between 6 and 9 mph. Thursday Night: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 11pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around 79. South wind at 10 mph becoming west.”
A man, Rick, called to ask me if I knew anything of meteorites. He thinks he found one and after reading my column in the newspaper on stars and such he thought he’d give me a call. I told him that I’d check into it for him.
Still dang hot and humid!
I did my studies: Latin and pre-algebra. I have found that doing simple adding and subtracting by longhand without a calculator is hard. I am so use to a calculator that I totally messed up on some of the problems.
I read aloud from the textbook “Astronomy Today” about Angular Momentum; how the Sun has less angular momentum than the planets that brought into question the Nebula hypotheses early after its conception by Laplace in the 1700s, but brought back in favor in the 1980 with the discovery of new stars with dust around them.
Seimi came by to look at the electric bike parts. It has been just too dang humid lately for me to work outside on anything.
I went for my evening walk listening to Alex Filippenko lecture 6 and 7 “Fingerprints of Atoms” and “Tools of the Trade”.
Ginger came by with her kids to chat for a spell. She also brought my telescope back to me. There is a double-double star in Lyra called Epsilon Lyrae that I want to check out! After Ginger left I stayed outside and finished listening to the astronomy lectures.
Andrew called and we jawed for a spell. I told him of the songs I posted on my journal and he said he’d give them a listen.
I did my stretches, practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
