🐹Sign for your puppy! Someone told me yesterday as he signed my petition for re-election as Justice of the Peace: "My dog would sign for you too if he could!" If you've already signed...ask your significant other, friend, or neighbor to sign. go.azsos.gov/4232
Flying puppy!
NEW: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the funder of NPR and PBS, announces it will begin shutting down its operations weeks after Congress canceled previously approved funding for the nation's steward of public media access.
BREAKING: President Trump fires the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics hours after weak jobs report.
Slight tilt of the head, huge puppy dog eyes and a soft polka dot on the top of my head...admit it. I've got you, you are mine. Yep, Mum's a gonner.
Wow!
Hello, I'm Toby and yes, those really are my feet. I like your feet too.
Happy Pride Month!
Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

Star Wars taught me more of a moral code than any Bible verse. The power of Hope, the importance of Friendship and Loyalty, embracing Diversity and Acceptance, the perils of Hubris and Arrogance—and the balance between Light and Dark…
Stay on target, my friends… and May the 4th be with you. Always.
Easter-lily cactus (Echinopsis oxygona). Such an delightful cactus bloom. The blooms only last such a short time so one must fully experience it while you can.
Well, good morning to you too!
In the composite image, the remnant resembles a wispy cloud in oranges, blues, purples, and whites, shaped like a backwards letter C. The 3D model examines this cloud of interstellar material interacting with the superheated, supernova blast wave. In the 3D model, the Cygnus Loop resembles a bowl with a thick base, and a wedge cut from the side like a slice of pie. The sides of the bowl are rendered in swirled blues and greens. However, inside the thick base, revealed by the wedge-shaped cut, are streaks of red and orange. Surrounding the shape are roughly parallel thin red strands, which extend beyond the top and bottom of the digital model.

Earth appears as a hemisphere against the blackness of space.

A small bird with iridescent green and blue feathers sits on a thick, spiny stem. Its throat glows a deep violet, and its tail feathers shift from golden yellow to burnt orange. The bird has a bright red bill, and the background is a smooth blur of green.
I guess I shouldn't tease the name Blue-throated Goldentail without showing the golden tail!

A massive spiral galaxy fills the image, with its bright yellow core seen near the upper left. Spiral arms whirl outward, laced through with dark brown dust and bright blue patches of star formation.
Angled from the upper left corner to the lower right corner is a cone-shaped orange-red cloud known as Herbig-Haro 49/50. This feature takes up about three-fourths of the length of this angle. The upper left end of this feature has a translucent, rounded end. The conical feature widens slightly from the rounded end at the upper right down to the lower right. Along the cone there are additional rounded edges, like edges of a wave, and intricate foamy-like details, as well as a clearer view of the black background of space. In the upper left, overlapping with the rounded end of Herbig-Haro 49/50, is a background spiral galaxy with a concentrated blue center that fades outward to blend with red spiral arms. The background of space is speckled with some white stars and smaller, more numerous, fainter white galaxies throughout.
A densely packed cluster of yellow stars shines at the center of the image, with more stars scattered throughout. Clouds of glowing indigo gas and dust dominate the lower half of the view, and a red star with diffraction spikes shines at upper right.
A nebula made up of cloudy gas and dust in the form of soft and wispy clouds and, in the center, thin and highly detailed layers pressed close together. Large, bright stars surrounded by six long points of light are dotted over the image, as well as some small, point-like stars embedded in the clouds. The clouds are lit up in blue close to the stars; orange colors show clouds that glow in infrared light.
i need some space… and maybe you do too
