“Stop and Smell the Flowers”
Just heard that the current NASA administrator is planning monthly lunar landings starting next year.
I’m generally a big fan of space exploration, but that doesn’t sound even remotely possible to me. Hope I’m wrong. Even better if I’m wrong because someone other than Elon Musk manages to deliver.
Not sure whether the tall iris are even going to bloom this year, but they still offer light and shadow when the sun comes out.

Trump’s Forest Service Upheaval Sows Confusion and Concern
With the Forest Service already unable to keep up with maintenance and services, headcount already slashed, and morale in the shitter…this latest round of “reorganization” is an obvious attempt to just turn it into a lumber sales organization, full stop.
As someone who depends on Forest Service land for recreation, this makes me very sad.
