I JUST HAD A FEW QUESTIONS

i think most of the world was happy to see our two American astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, return to earth. Their eight-day mission on the International Space Station was extended, lasting nine months due to several safety issues with the capsule designed to send them home. Everything worked out, with the two extra passengers integrated into the crew’s daily program. Hopefully, there were plenty of snacks to go around!  Kudos to all the people involved with our space program, up in the air and down on the ground. Their work is phenomenal!

  What I don’t understand is why are we so concerned with Suni Williams’ hair color?  These people were confined to the space station for far longer than anticipated.  They were fully trained and capable of doing all sorts of experiments and astronaut ‘stuff’ that we couldn’t even imagine how to do.  Their bodies have undergone changes that may not return to normal for a long time, or never. They left their families behind.  They are heroes!  Anyone who has the courage to strap into a container that’s going to be lifted off the ground by rockets belching flames; anticipate meeting up with a small target miles above and,, living and working in what I would consider a claustrophobic environment, has gotta be dedicated and deserves to be called a hero.  Let’s not care about an astronaut’s hair color.  Let’s just hope they all come back safe and sound!

                   

Have you been reading about Woolly Mice?  A Texas biotechnology firm has been able to genetically engineer mice with the characteristic hair and cold tolerance of the Woolly Mammoth which has been extinct for at least four thousand years.  They are hoping to produce the first elephant calf with mammoth characteristics by the end of 2028.  The firm is saying that these engineered elephants would graze on Arctic tundra and reduce permafrost thaw, decreasing the release of carbon dioxide to slow climate change. Right… Have these people never watched any Jurassic Park movies??? 

I guess the craze of the moment is Emotional Support Chicken Nuggets.  They come five in a pouch, each with a different expression.  I thought this was a joke until going to Amazon’s website.  Not only do they sell chicken nuggets, they have donuts, pickles, and even bunnies. They are small enough to put in your pocket or share with those friends and family you feel are in need of their soft and squishy support.  They may not make you a happier person but I’m sure you make their manufacturer happy that you bought them. 

        

Hope you have a wonderful day!

I wonder if these "emotional support nuggets" come with a coupon to purchase an "emotional support pet rock" at a discounted price (with free shipping, of course). The "emotional support pet rock" would also be offered with a dual function mode (on the deluxe model) that has an integrated sensor chip that will "sense" if the rock will be needed/used as an "emotional support pet rock" or as an "emotional support pet weapon". This is a limited time offer, hurry and order yours today.
