This is a niche little time-saving suggestion for those who keep cats: add a little zigzag pattern after you clean the litter; it will be obvious if it’s been used the next time around.

I try to share big astronomical events, but I was in the northern woods and missed the lunar eclipse on August 28th. Luck was with me, though. I happened to be awake around midnight and looked out the window to see 93% of the moon missing. What a lovely and unexpected surprise!
The moon veiled in red
Her face turned from the sun’s gaze
Starlight reflections.

One Story, Many Versions

“I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one. . . . Humans are caught—in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty, and in their kindness and generosity too—in a net of good and evil. . . . There is no other story. A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean questions: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well—or ill?” ― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“…I guess what I’d say is that the best way to predict the future is just observe very closely the present. So it’s close observation of what’s going on in at a moment. And it’s also, the other thing is being interested in the thing you’re interested in rather than the thing everybody’s talking about… that’s good because it means that it’s gonna be fresh and different.” — Michael Lewis

I’ll be back soon, but until then, here’s hoping you also have time to do interesting things with your favorite people.
