The race is on…

When considering whether the beginning or the end of something is better, it ultimately depends on the specific situation and individual preferences. Here are a few aspects to consider when evaluating the beginning and the finish of a project or experience:

  1. Impact: The beginning sets the foundation and tone, while the finish leaves a lasting impression. Both are crucial in their own ways.
  2. Progression: The beginning often involves excitement and anticipation, while the finish brings a sense of accomplishment and closure.
  3. Quality: It’s important to look out for consistency throughout the entire journey, ensuring that both the beginning and the finish meet the desired standards.
  4. Reflection: Consider how the beginning and finish contribute to the overall experience or outcome, and how they align with your initial expectations.

In conclusion, both the beginning and the finish hold their own significance, and paying attention to each stage can enhance the overall experience or result.

Super Moon Monday

Coming Full Moon August 19 2024, File photo KDG

Super Bluemoon 2:26 PM EDT 11:26 Pacific , moon will appear full for about five days either side of full. Super moons are closer to the earth and have effects on weather and tides .

Mars,

Spacex is a private contractor brought along by NASA to commercially provide service to space projects and development. The company is involved with the Artimas return to the moon program that will send  four people back to the moon and have two of them land.

The view that we cannot rely on the earth to preserve our species existence drives  Spacex through its founder Elon Musk. The view  is strengthened by many nations taking it for strategic purposes that would result in permanent occupation of the moon and it  used as a base to do the same on Mars.

This is incredibly expensive and dangerous . The view that we would be better served making earth a better cared for and safer place is mitigated slightly by the advance of science involved in space exploration.

Friends in  the Near East, send them an e card ..

When consoling people living under the threat of catastrophic danger, it’s important to offer support and empathy. Here are some suggestions on how to console them:

  1. Express empathy: Acknowledge their feelings and show that you understand the difficult situation they are in.
  2. Offer practical help: If possible, assist with tangible support such as offering a place to stay, food, or helping with evacuation plans.
  3. Listen actively: Encourage them to express their concerns and fears, and actively listen without judgment.
  4. Share positive messages: Provide words of hope and encouragement, reminding them of their strength and resilience.
  5. Stay connected: Offer to keep in regular contact to provide ongoing support and reassurance.

Remember to tailor your approach to the individual’s specific needs and be sensitive to their emotional state. It’s also important to encourage them to seek professional help if they are struggling to cope.

If you’d like to send an e-card with a positive message to friends in the Near East, consider using a platform like Hallmark or Blue Mountain for a thoughtful and personalized touch.

What we do touches others

Three examples of activities  all three involve progress;

  • Oil flows maintenance  bloomes

  • Technologies catch up  to shopping carts

Who is  resisting  change,not me! It’s  progress that gives  it. We have a community  if we can keep it.

To observe the night sky, first find a location away from city lights to reduce light pollution. Then, allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness. Use a star chart or a stargazing app to identify constellations, planets, and other celestial objects. Consider using a telescope or binoculars for a closer view, and be patient as your eyes adapt to the dark. Happy stargazing!
