Our new housekeeper started this morning. It's been years since we had a regular cleaning lady. So far we are very happy. We have people coming over on New Year's, so she will come once a week until that is behind us. Then every two weeks.

I am at a kids bday party at a ninja nation. Kids grandpa, late 50s I guess, just did the warped wall. He and the dad were having a competition. I uhhh, need to go to the gym.

That old guy just went right up. Made the night.

Happy bday was in three languages. Fit dad ate it hard a couple of times but popped right back up. Nice folks all around.

A little lesson in American history that is still being played out today with civil war 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877 | US History Lecture

Reconstruction after the US Civil War is a complicated issue that divides American history neatly in two. For a brief moment, radical and moderate Republicans attempted to enforce civil rights, but eventually failed. This is that story.

NASA set to launch James Webb Space Telescope on Christmas Eve
NASA has confirmed it will launch its James Webb Space Telescope on Christmas Eve.

The long-awaited launch will take place at 7:20 am EST from Kourou spaceport in French Guiana, according to NASA’s website.

Webb’s launch had been delayed several times since 2018 and NASA, along with its collaborators the European Space Agency and Canadian Space Agency, scheduled to launch Webb on Dec. 18.

But NASA had to delay the launch by four days after the telescope was “jolted by a clamp during launch preparations,” according to the Associated Press and efforts to fix bad communications links delayed take off by two more days to Dec. 22.

Now, the telescope is awaiting its final readiness check scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 21 and, if all goes as planned, a roll out on Wednesday, Dec. 22.

The $10 billion successor to the Hubble Space Telescope will lift off into space on top of a Ariane 5 rocket as it travels to its final destination roughly a million miles away from Earth, according to The Guardian.

Live coverage during launch day will begin at 6:00 a.m. EST.

Hope they got it right, no shuttle ride to flip a breaker.

I’m bummed that the name stuck. While Webb was one of the dynamos of the early space program, his actions against othersexuals should have disqualified this conferral of honor.

That said, I can’t wait for the data! This puppy is tuned to look at the very distant, young and faint objects that will expand what we know.

Went to go argue with trump neighbors on Nextdoor, those dipshits were defending starting grass fires for patriotism, but wife beat me to it. Didn't want to be weird and double dip.

My argument would not have been around them wasting tax dollars. More that they were pretty stupid and apparently can't handle living next to grass.

I figure this might be good news to some here.
