It's The Last Day...

 The last day of February that is. If this were a 'leap year' we'd be looking at tomorrow being the last day. However this is not a 'leap year' so tomorrow will be the first day of March. Wow isn't that simply amazing...? Or not. Anyway I've got about nothing positive to contribute so I'll skip the prattle and get to the meat of the matter. Machine art is up right about now.

Fly Me To The Moon Monday

 NASA is planning another astronauts into space launch on...today.(nope not today, they scrubbed the launch...figures) That is IF everything goes as planned. This is a space launch and things often do not go as planned. NASA is using one of Musk's Space X rockets and the accompanying Crew Dragon capsule that will contain the astronauts. The crew is made up of one Russian cosmonaut, two NASA astronauts, and one astronaut from the United Arab Emirates. Evidently this is the second UAE astronaut to make the trip to the International Space Station. So it is a genuine and for reals 'international' launch to space. Just not today. Good luck guys. No gals are included in this launch. Gosh, why is that? So here it comes down to Monday machine art and that happens right about now.

It Never Rains In California...

But when it does you'd better break out the hip boots, rubber waders, life rafts, shop vacs, and for this instance...snow shoes. Yes it has snowed on Los Angeles and the Angelinos couldn't be happier. Snow is a rarity in Southern Cali so when it does snow, well, that's a pretty big deal. It also has rained all to be damned and the Los Angeles River is running full bore and when that happens, the homeless folk that have been camping in the L.A. river get washed out to sea and solves the homeless problem that is a plague on the town. For a brief interlude anyway. And no the Coast Guard does not bother to pluck the homeless out of the Pacific Ocean. However the Los Angeles River channel is clean once again and so it goes. Sunday machine art is up right about now.

we might get some snow a way out here in the Mojave. that would be a wondrous sight to behold. all the desert critters can handle snow just like they handle the heat. the critters have been dealing with weird weather shit for a dang long time. 😏

Hitchhike In Space

 Not quite like Arthur Dent but, astronauts and cosmonauts have been stuck on the International Space Station on account of the Russian made, return from space, capsule sprang a dang leak and became unusable. SO...the astronauts and cosmonauts had to watch with nervous intent as that Russian made return from space capsule was jettisoned from the ISS and everyone on board the ISS were adrift in space almost but not quite like Major Tom. Dang that has so got to suck. I'm pretty confident here in stating that there is absolutely no way in hell trapped space folks will be able to hitchhike from where they are a way up in space so they can get back down to terra firma. That's our good old and solid, clear up until that creamy vanilla nougat center, Mother Earth. Rock solid and on the ground is good. Up in floaty space is not good. Especially when one is unable to return to good old Mother Earth. Anyway the Rooskies have launched a brammy new return from space capsule and with some luck and good old fashioned duct tape, the space guys will be back home and in the loving arms of the people what loves the intrepid space guys. And gals. In space no one can see you step outside the ISS to take a leak in peace and quiet. Aboard the ISS, everybody on board can hear you take care of your business. Dang...that has so got to suck. Would a fart echo aboard the ISS? Hmmm, maybe I could ask the brave folks at NASA. Saturday machine art is up right about now.

Creamy Nougat

 Australian scientists have announced an astounding discovery and made their findings known on Tuesday last in the journal Nature Communications. It seems our world has not just four layers of earthiness, nope, our world has five yes five layers that make up Planet Earth. First off we have us a thin outer shell kind of like an egg shell and that's where all life on Earth inhabits. Next down in a manner of speaking, we have us a "mantle" and that's a viscous liquid rock almost like planetary snot. After our rock snot, we have us an outer core made of iron and nickel and this spinning outer core gives our Earth its magnetic field. Some scientists insist that our Earth's magnetic field is about to switch OR depending on whom you may care to give credence to, is in the process of flipping polarity already. Not much can be done about any of that. Nope. Still further down the old layer routine we have us a "solid inner core" that mostly just sits there being 'inner'. And lastly we have us an "inner inner core" made of tasty creamy vanilla nougat. Who knew... I was as surprised as anyone at that remarkable announcement. It seems that Hrvoge Tkalvcic, a professor of geophysics and his postdoctoral researcher Thanh-son Pham both of Australian National University in Canberra, Australia, devised an Earth model that shows the layers of Planet Earth all the way down to that creamy vanilla nougat. Clearly their discovery needs further research. However, plans are being drawn up to bore down through all of Earth's layers and tap into that creamy vanilla nougat to give a boost to Earth's sweet delights. I'm all for that. Now for Friday machine art without ANY creamy vanilla nougat and we'll just have to make do. For now.

Curse All Gods And...

 Curse all gods and their ilk. Our flood damaged living room floor was not repaired BECAUSE all the goddamn vinyl plank flooring the wife purchased using Home Depot's website came damaged and is unusable. Son...of...a...BITCH! Back to the drawing board and I would not recommend using Home Depot stores online or in person. Crap-lousy customer service. Here we sit with an unfinished living room floor, a pile of damaged vinyl plank flooring, and no real estimate as to when the freaking mess will get resolution. Damn if'n I'm not about in some kind of mood... machine art is up right about now.

President Joe Puts His Ass On The Line

 Biden goes to Ukraine. Oh yes, the President of these United States of America walked shoulder to shoulder with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and surprised just about everyone concerned. President Joe heading to Ukraine, an active and hostile war zone, must have given the Secret Service guys nightmarish fits. You see the Secret Service guards America's presidents and they've never had to escort an American president to an active battle ground. Not any battle ground that wasn't American held territory. Anyway, President Joe went and of course his trip was classified top secret and kept that way until Monday when the bulk of Western Civilization went apeshit over the photos of President Joe with President Volodymyr walking together in Kiev. Oh my bad...Kiev is actually spelled Kyiv or to really get the name correct, well, in the Ukrainian language it's near impossible to spell or pronounce. Yeah and good luck with that. Ballsy move President Joe, one dang ballsy move. Bravo! Now for Tuesday machine art to honor an American President that is as good as his word.

Things Upcoming...(?)

The end of February creeps closer and close by the day. So will March come in like a lion OR come in like a lamb? Pressing questions without answers. That brings up the next little item to consider...the one year anniversary of Russia's war of naked aggression on Ukraine which cranked itself up on February 24, 2022. This vicious little number clearly does not need any manner of celebration. However public recognition of Russia's war is more than necessary. Crank up a war crimes tribunal and drag Vlad the Putin in from wherever he might hide his war criminal ass. Chump!!! Okay now I'll segue over to the Monday machine art.

Tiger Woods Brand Feminine Hygiene Products

 So 'the' Tiger Woods of ex-wife rockets his head with a nine iron fame and once brilliant golf pro is back on the professional links this very weekend. A 'Genesis' tourney is the big happening this weekend and Woods was out on the links on Thursday I do believe, and as he's playing with some other pro golfer that isn't exactly up to Woods' standards he (Woods) hands this other pro golfer a tampon. Not just any tampon, oh no oh hell no way no, the tampon is a newly minted and on the market as of Woods' handing out tampon samples on the links to players that aren't up to snuff. Or menstruating on account of women can't be having menstrual goings on without the obvious tie in beginning with "men...". The thinking around why is Woods handing out tampons goes back to a time when men and strictly men ruled the links and mocked any woman silly enough to make a try at golf. So evolved (?) the vulgar pro golfer-ism, "you play like a girl" and the golfer being mocked was handed a tampon. Tampon was the go-to instrument of ridicule BECAUSE a Kotex pad didn't fit into a golfers pocket. Judas Priest...some guys simply refuse to grow up. Hey Tiger? How's that nine iron scar healing up...? How about that self-inflicted auto wreckage that damn near took your life? Tiger Woods has proven to be a mostly crass and juvenile professional golfer nearing the end of an otherwise brilliant career. Now for our sabbatical machine art. It is Sunday after all.

evidently Woods did not notice all the cameras following his every move while on the links. what a dumb ass! 😆

Journey To The Center Of Zombieland OR...

It's just another day in Washington, D.C. politics. So Sen. Ted Cruz (Retarded - Taxes) and Sen. Rick Scott (Really Retarded - Florida) introduced on the floor of the U.S. Senate, legislation designed to benefit themselves individually and just about no one else. Cruz wants to now limit the number of elected terms U.S. Senators can fulfill to exactly two terms in office. However, Cruz would be exempt from the legislation on account of Cruz feels himself above law and anything close to respectability. Good one Teddy boy. Cruz will very soon be vacationing in Cancun, Mexico as he owns a quite nice condo on the Caribbean Coast and prefers being there rather than in Washington where Cruz must mingle with common folk. For Cruz, anyone NOT in the Senate is plebeian at best. Sen. Scott wants to eliminate the Social Security and Medicare benefits going to America's retired senior citizens. Scott finds America's seniors are simply annoying and the elderly should up and die out of consideration for regular Americans that are forced to support all the old geezers out of taxpayer monies. And there you have an update from Babylon-On-The-Potomac. Politics that benefits the most important members of the American citizenry. Saturday machine art is up right about now.

Fossilized Snail Mail

 In what has to be an historic cock-up, Britain's mail service has finally delivered a piece of mail that had been waiting for delivery 107 years. Wow is that ever some dang slow mail delivery. The letter in question was penned by one Christabel Mennell and addressed to Ms. Katie March. Letter was addressed to Ms. March living in London, England. Ms.? (gender unidentified) Mennell was in Bath, England possibly taking a bath. I don't really know what Ms. Mennell was up to BUT, Ms. Mennell went to her grave wondering why oh why she'd never been responded to by Ms. March. I'm thinking that miss delivered letter could have explained any number of pressing items and may have been inquiry about the world war Britain was mired in. The year of mailing aforementioned letter was 1916. It would have taken the Pony Express a modest matter of a day or so to have delivered a letter in 1916. The Pony Express had ended their deliveries back in October of 1861 so any real speculation over delivery of mail by Pony Express is wholly unnecessary. A dang snail could have delivered that letter faster than the "Royal Mail" which is what the Brits call their mail service. 107 years? I'm thinking that the 'better late than never' line has a whole new meaning. Now for Friday machine art and this possibly might not take 107 years to post. Hopefully...
