For the most part, today was bright and sunny but with colder temperatures. It reminded me of a prairie winter day with a high pressure system bringing sun and cold. It is always good to see the sun -- especially between storm systems. A break in cloudy grey days means a lot. It helps to lift moods that may plummet with the darker days and repeated onslaughts of storms. Tomorrow will bring the start of a storm -- this one a Texas low -- currently ravaging the US. How much precipitation has been changing in forecasts of the past two days. By tomorrow, the storm track should be clearer as will the timing and snowfall amounts. In the meantime . . . <smile>. I had a phone meeting earlier in the day and a weekly virtual chat with a friend late afternoon. I spent time looking at content for a short presentation to the department seminar series tomorrow. I look forward to interacting virtually with colleagues and students. I heard today that sidewalks in main areas and parking lots have been cleared of most of the ice from the last storm. So, I will try to do a quick outing for a few groceries to replace staples and produce -- "making small groceries" in New Orleans parlance. So, I hope to get myself out to roam around tomorrow.
Today the 202 Mars Mission landed the Perseverance rover and the Ingenuity helicopter drone on the surface of Mars. How cool is that? Several on screen personalities were excited about this today. It does seem to be a positive in a sea of distressing news. We are sure to see many images from these two devices as they roam the planetary surface.
The selection shared here seemed appropriate to the happenings of the day. Stay safe. Enjoy!
