Overcast and it's getting darker when I get up. Fall is on the way. I am eagerly anticipating the changes of the Fall colors. I've been waiting 59 years and no joy (that's airplane talk).
I saw a new cat on my walk this morning. It is black and mostly white. I didn't want to take a pic because he/she was right below a picture window and I didn't want to get arrested for being a peeping Tom.
Quirks, quorks and quarks. I love the sound of those words, even when they're written down. Those fundamental particles we know as quarks were discovered as a result of a quirk in the observed data so they were initially called Quirks. Then the name was changed to Quork as a play on words. Finally it was changed and became known as Quarks after the James Joyce novel "Finnegan's Rainbow". The book on quarks continues to fascinate me.
Scientific books-for-the-masses indicate that we're all on this flight together.
