COMMENTARY

Mild weather is very nice.
So busy all of the time that we may easily lose focus of the world around us.
But not when we go outdoors to a lovely day.
Nature drowns us in a feeling of well-being.
Steeps us in it like so many teabags.
Problems don’t go away because of the it, nor do such lovely days accomplih chores for us.
But uplifted, we more easily handle chores and scale down our stresses.
I’m sure arguments exist that prove seasonal fluxes are better for us.
Make us more appreciative of the finer weather.
But when it’s 15* with the wind pelting ice chips into our faces as we walk dressed like so many Michelin men, can we find any such arguments convincing?
Mild weather is very nice.

Today I learned the several sources of audio input and output to make the new mic more effective.
Re: the promo videos – go back to Go.
Delay the roll-out of the promo video two days.

Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married.
The ceremony wasn’t much, but the reception was excellent.

A representative image of the Solar System with sizes, but not distances, to scale
WP - Planets2008.jpg
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System.
It is a nearly perfect sphere of plasma, heated by nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium in its core, with internal convective motion that generates a magnetic field via a dynamo process.
It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth.
Its diameter is about 1.39 million kilometres (860,000 miles) or 109 times that of Earth, while its mass is about 330,000 times that of Earth.
It accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System.
Roughly three-quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen; the rest is mostly helium, with much smaller quantities of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon and iron.
I carry a piece of the sun here.
Metaphorically speaking, of course.

Good Morning on this Wednesday, the twenty-fourth day of July, 2019
Our lead picture features the sun; and our Thumbnail adds a bit more info on the subject.
Our commentary praises mild weather.
We posted a Boston weather report and the ticking calendar as illustrated by the growing number of posts as calendar markers.
We posted a chuckle of antennae getting married, and also a Frutta di Mare dinner.
And two notes, from Ann H and Bunny D.
And now? Gotta go.
Che vuoi? Le pocketbook?
See you soon.
Love.
