“What do you mean, say I look like a dork!”

“Not only do you look like a dork! You look like a dorky duck!”

“Well! I never! Come on, Donald, we don’t have to listen to this lowly teenager insult us!”

“That’s obvious, given they have no ducklings!”

Jupiter In Opposition

Jupiter (lower left) is in opposition to the sun tonight. The earth is between the sun and Jupiter, and Jupiter is closer to the earth tonight. The last time Jupiter made an approach this close to the earth was in 1963 (59 years ago). There might be a conspiracy in the 1963 approach and apposition. Saturn (upper right) looked on.

Services In A TUFF SHED®

White Oaks, New Mexico doesn’t need no stinking cathedral or post-bank-style building for worship services. A TUFF SHED® with a steeple does just fine.

A colorful cacti in the churchyard, and a second TUFF SHED® used for fellowship hall.

There was lightning to the north last night. Saturn and its moons in plaid. The Harvest moon finally rose above the clouds.
