Just thought I would throw a firecracker into the circle. No particular reason. Just because I can. Talking about celestial catastrophes - which I wasn't, but no reason I can't - bearing in mind that there have been previous such events which intruded into the developing history of our planet - and again, with no...

Absoluteness, Estimation and Absurdity – Part 2 (Final)
Another day passed and another milestone exceeded. I'm going to include an image again today, from Worldometers, showing the latest global COVID-19 figures, as of this writing.

Douchebag or Sleazebag?
America's choice - Douchebag or Sleazebag. Trump or Biden. Is it more acceptable to be led by someone who is openly a douchebag or someone who is secretly (sort of, for now) a sleazebag?
