Eclipse May 26, 2021

So it was 4:00 AM and the only eclipse of this kind for this year, when my little black Shitzu doggie and I arose early and found a comfortable seat on the roof of our house, high above Albuquerque, NM. The night was cool, crisp and dry, with no wind, a perfect night.  And there to the Southwest was our moon. What a beautiful sight.

My little dog was still and attentive, but not nearly as fascinated by the sky as I was.    I have put some photos from around the world because "pictures" are worth a thousand words, trite but true.   

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   First see how it works: …

World is in Transition 2021-2022 Could Be "Recovery" Years for Business

The American dollar and our economy attracts attention all over the world. Rich and Poor. For example, an elderly lady followed me in the grocery store, all "masked up", but a little closer than 6 feet behind and said: "Someone is going to steal that $1000 bill from your hip pocket!" I had forgotten stuffing it in, half of it was exposed...

China and India rattlin' swords again...this time India seems stronger

The US Space Program is Back, Thanks to Musk and NASA!

The US Space Program is back, cheers for Elon Musk and NASA! I was in college, July 20, 1969 when two American astronauts landed on the moon, the first humans to walk on the lunar surface.
