Happy Labor Day!

     Well, I am writing in this blog today.  Not much to write at the present.  I am headed into work shortly, is the reason.  I work midshift today.  I could wear my Sanitation shirt.  I will be Sanitation Clerk today, until after lunch.  I work from noon until after 8:45 PM.  But I can use the money.  I am happy for the hours.  They are over the holiday.

    This planet is Kelper-22b.  it is the first habitable planet discovered inside the habitable zone of a Sun-like star.  This was shared with me by Scott.  According to NASA the planet is 2.4 times the size of Earth.  It is considered an exoplanet.  What is an exoplanet?  They are worlds orbiting other stars.  Some are larger than Jupiter, while others are the size of Earth or Mars.  

    Well, this is an interesting discovery.  The discovery was in 2011.  The last update on the page is 26 Jan. 2021.  Today is Sunday, September 5, 2021.  So, just over six-months ago, this page was updated.  Each day that passes, I always wonder, will they find an earth like planet.  That would be so cool if they did.  How long would it take to travel there, I wonder.  Supposedly, this planet might have a tail.  That was from another NASA article.  For planet TOI-1231 b.  For planet TOI-1231 b they want to view it with the Bubble.  There is also a new telescope named the James Webb Space Telescope.  Named after James E. Webb who ran NASA from 1961 to 1968 in October.  He was also Under Secretary of State. TOI-1231 b orbits a dwarf-star.

    Anyways, time for me to go to work.  I was just putting this together for my friend Scott.  I will write more later.  
    Well, I ended up closing again.  The new guy was supposed to close, but didn't show up, so it was on me to close.  Now, here I am writing on my blog.  I had some coffee this morning, and now I feel great, except that I lost my lighter.  That is ok because I had another one.  
    Thankfully, while I was at work, my Dad took care of Max.  He even got Max some food.  But last night a cockroach got in.  So, my Dad killed that cockroach, first he used Raid.  But in the end he stepped on the cockroach.  Then, threw it in the trash.  It probably took him thirty minutes to get the cockroach.  At least he got it.
    Now, I am hungry.  I am going to eat at Chick-Fil-A later on.  Yumm, Chick-Fil-A, I enjoy me some chicken sandwiches.  Yesterday, My nephew Brice experienced his first movie in the theater.  I have not seen a film in theater since Midway.  Each day that goes by, with COVID and the shutdowns, not sure I want to watch a movie.  It isn't COVID so much that I am afraid of.  Its the shutdowns (lockdowns?) that are the real concern.  The confusion the shutdowns causes makes me nervous.  Some places are in a shutdown, some are not.  So, you only no for certain if you go to the place.  Online it might say its open, but it is actually closed.  
    I am listening to Studio 10 Broadcasting again.  Very interesting show.  If you can find it, I recommend it.  He is a prepper.  But Michael Anthony discusses a lot of cool stuff on his show.  He usually broadcasts solo but other times in conjunction with other broadcasters.  
    Now its time for me to head in to work.  Have a good day.

Ukraine Invasion Continues

 Earlier this week Russia began invading the Ukraine.  Now, that invasion continues.  This video  shows footage of supposedly Russian forces firing, near Kharkov. The city is located in Eastern Ukraine.  I heard another say that Russian forces are nearing Kiev.  In the article,  The explosions were seen near Kharkiv, Ukraine, a city with a population of roughly 1.4 million nested near the eastern border and approximately 300 miles from the capital city of Kyiv, Ukraine This just shows how quickly the Russians moved.  Are we going to respond?  I don't think we can.  Ukraine is not a NATO nation.  The Russian President warned everyone about interfering, and said  attempt to intervene would lead to "consequences they have never seen." Putin did not specify what his threat meant.  But I expect most people understand, that this could be nuclear.  Supposedly, Russia and China have entered into a new partnership.  Just ...

Filling Out the FAFSA

 Along with re-applying to UTA I also filled out my FAFSA for 2021 and 2022.  I always forget to fil out my FAFSA.  But this year I did it because I am re-applying for school.  I intend to use the GI bill rather than student loans.  But it is on the to do list.  You can fill out the FAFSA yourself at  https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa .  I need to order transcripts according to my checklist.  But UTA already has my transcripts.  Still, I guess I will find out whether I need to do so in the next day or two.  It is a weekend that I submitted my application.  So, I need to allow a couple of days.  It will be good to be back in school.  After working at Albertsons maybe I can tough it out a little better now.  I have a bit of a work ethic now.  I cannot wait to start.  Not sure if I will start this fall, or next spring but I am determined to finish my studies.   Scott is going to come b...
