Melian! Retirement!

I will have a beer tonight and celebrate your retirement!

Yes...What Sheep Whisperer said!

Little hack:

My SSA check will be deposited in my account in about 4 days! I use a Credit Union. Spouse-Mouse checks are deposited in the Commercial bank 1 or 2 days later! (I suspect deliberate hold!) Check with your new retirement buddies at Church or the coffee shop for their experience. One extra day to pay the bills may not crucial, but it is nice!


Celebrate your new found freedom! Nap in the after noon, Enjoy a 5:30 relaxed dinner out, watch the Sunset and Stay up late on the 30-31st in case of meteor shower! (Since its now OK To sleep in next day!!)

GEOPHYSICAL DAY ALERT!

“Will the Tau Herculid meteors produce a storm?

Among those who watch the skies … the biggest topic of conversation this week has been the Tau Herculid meteor shower, coming up (maybe) on the night of May 30-31. Have you ever seen a true meteor storm? One with many meteors per second? It happens … and this might be one. Or not. It’s unknown if the meteors will be bright, or faint. It’s unknown how many there will be. It is known that the meteors will travel slowly across the sky ... so be sure to watch in a dark sky area, since slow-moving meteors tend to be fainter. Read about the Tau Herculids.

Mars and Jupiter conjunction this weekend

If you’re an early riser, you’ve probably noticed red Mars inching closer to bright Jupiter in the sky before dawn. They’ll appear only the width of a full moon apart on May 29. Watch both Saturday and Sunday mornings.


All this supposes it is not cloudy at your viewing location! (Astoria, Oregon with 239 cloudy days per year!) and second, that it actually happens! (Historically Big Dud Comet Kohoutek for example!) Or, maybe this does not interest you at all and you just go to bed early!

Anyway, congratulations!

The god of war and the king of the gods coming together in the constellation pisces. What would a first century Babylonian astrologer make of this?
