We could all actually be bacteria living in the feces of an enormous universe spanning space creature.

My father said something similar. But it was an atom in God's body.

Or molecule. I really don't remember.

Eggs are literally the only thing we get for free and they are of no use to me. I feed the ones my wife and kid don't use to the raccoons.
we just gave away 36 eggs. The chickens are producing like crazy. Just in time too they were heading for the frying pan.

I didn't even know it was a real country. I thought it was part of Holland... Is Holland a real country?
The important thing is that Greenland becomes our 52nd state. I'd like to get a summer cottage there. It looks nice.
the military in Holland actually has a union.

I don't remember how long I let this go. Not more that an hour or so.  I don't know how to use the "post processing" programs and now that's 80% of producing these images. The actual telescope is becoming less important, which is sad.
I see what looks like three other galaxies further away.

I really wish a coyote would clean things up for me. I'd really like to be chicken free...more specifically, I'd like the patio to be chicken free...and the cats would like it even more.

Jupiter's Moon Europa is a quarter the size of Earth and has three times as much water.

I have maybe six "contacts" in my phone. Two of them are my wife and kid, one is the guy that sends me work.  I have the ringer muted. I actually talk on the phone maybe 5 or 6 times a year.

The solar system could be an atom. Earth could be an electron.

Venus and Mercury....just had a conjunction. I can't carry my telescope out right now but my iPhone caught what my eye could not see.

I bought a Seestar50 but I still prefer taking pictures through my regular telescopes. When I win the powerball, I'm getting a high-end refractor with a premium mount.  It's impossible to get good pictures of planets with what I have.

Realistically, Greenland would be way better off with us. So would Canada.  But between the two, I think he might actually be serious about annexing Greenland. It's essential that the US controls the Arctic.

I guess this is about as good as I can do on Jupiter using a $50 camera and a 1 second exposure through and 8" telescope.
