Jupiter & Venus (upper left) have gotten a bit closer together (closest next Tuesday, but “close” and spectacular looking for another two weeks or so) but Mercury’s still there just above the roof.
I was hoping to see a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch out of Vandenberg about 45 minutes after these pictures, but never saw a thing. The launch did NOT scrub and went off the pad just fine, it just wasn’t visible here, a hundred miles away, for whatever reason.
But many of the new neighbors got to see me standing out on the sidewalk with multiple tripods and cameras, staring at the sky, so there’s that!
On another ongoing front, I went and got my hair gooped up again, blue on port, purple on starboard, starting the third chapter of this wacky adventure.
The bottles said “Strawberry Leopard Teal” and “Arctic Fox Violet Dream” – I don’t know if those are brand names, product names, or both.
Let’s see how long it takes before the inevitable gray takes over again.
