Here's one of what I received. She says it was taken by her oldest son. I'll have to wish him a speedy recovery from his sudden illness.. ;-)
It went through at track speed which probably was 60mph so it was a quick photo grab. ;-)

Pluto isn't quite as lonely as scientists had thought.
Astronomers have discovered another dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt, the ring of icy objects beyond Neptune. But this newfound world, dubbed 2015 RR245, is much more distant than Pluto, orbiting the sun once every 700 Earth years, scientists said. (Pluto completes one lap around the sun every 248 Earth years.)
"The icy worlds beyond Neptune trace how the giant planets formed and then moved out from the sun," discovery team member Michele Bannister, of the University of Victoria in British Columbia, said in a statement. "They let us piece together the history of our solar system."
...
The exact size of 2015 RR245 is not yet known, but the researchers think it's about 435 miles (700 kilometers) wide. Pluto is the largest resident of the Kuiper Belt, with a diameter of 1,474 miles (2,371 km).
The research team first spotted 2015 RR245 in February of this year, while poring over images that the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii took in September 2015 as part of the ongoing Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS).
"There it was on the screen — this dot of light moving so slowly that it had to be at least twice as far as Neptune from the sun," Bannister said.

Mine could probably show yours how. Mine goes into spasms without trying hardly at all.
Finally somoene found out that some-other-one had put in a bolt to attach the cable to the terminal that was just a skotch too long and the cable could occasionally jiggle out of contact.
So - <<Flush>> goes the money.
Unnngh. Sounds like some of the things we had go on with the late Purple Car.
The spasms are one of the reasons I got the industrial strength pain killer.
Now, it’s more of a life saver than anything, because it allows me to do housework, which was getting harder and harder to do.
And I’m about ready to crash and burn, now that the laundry is done. Well, except for drying, of course!
So, clearly someone did not follow the checklist I provided.
If someone had turned on the headlights, and they hadn't come on, then that someone would have known the battery needed a jump.
I try and try, but some people just don't listen.

I turned over the checklist and was informed, when I came home from church, that, “Something something short in the system have it towed.”
When I rescued this stem from the freezing nights (cold no doubt due to glowbull warmthing) there were two buds opening and a little scrawny thing that I thought would never open. Well this is the scrawny bud.
Congratulations! That’s a very substantial flower!
We still have a jungle of zinnias. The cats hide in it, convenient to the bird feeders.
I do not yield to prevarication because it keeps me distant from trouble. Admitting the truth of my folly brings the trouble into immediate and stark confrontation.
Trouble does not grow smaller when ignored; it metastasizes and grows more worrisome. It is best dealt with in its larval stages.
This is not bravery; it is cowardice. I would rather face the trouble when it is newly hatched from the egg, not after it has grown into the mature dragon it aspires to become.
And admitting the truth is pure laziness on my part. I do not wish to waste my meager intellectual capacity on remembering to whom I spun which fanciful tale. It is much easier to simply try to determine the truth and stick to it for all to deal with as they will.
Just a lazy coward, witless and craven in the face of challenges, taking the easy way out.
I save my inventiveness for recreational purposes.
I understand perfectly.
If there’s “prevarication” involved, it’s in the concept that any of my Male Family Members knows anything about the van engine. You’d think Tom would know something vaguely related, after most of a semester of Diesel Heavy Equipment class, but nope.
Just saw your post. Funny!
Starter circuitry is the simplest thing in an automobile. The starter only operates under one condition, when juice from the battery is sent to the solenoid.
If your mechanic can’t figure out why that ain’t happening, he ain’t a mechanic.
I like to tell the guys in the shops around here, “You’re the mechanic, make it work!” This usually gets a wry nod at fate’s cruelty.
Where's Anoreth when you need her?
Wow. Between the smoke-breathing dragon and the iris, I’m a little overwhelmed this morning. Double wow.
Last I heard from Anoreth (Sunday), she was flying to California for a few days. Probably work-related, but she was looking forward to the climate change.
Folks used to say, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.”
Rain is what you get in Seattle. We also have a little here.
The Epic Fail Newspaper Delivery Service gave us the “Charlotte Observer” instead of the “Wall Street Journal.” Maybe there will be something in it about the road construction, at least.
Awww...I needed that! I got back from Walmart to find someone in my spot, which happened last week when I went in for the blood draw, so I couldn’t back in to unload the groceries. Such a little thing, but oh! so irritating.
