"Extend the election" you do say.
Why not pack your bags; Go away!
Write when you do find new work,
You pompous ass; You big jerk.

My wife has Dementia.
She handles it well.
Not sure of her process
in her own private Hell.

Most of the major online publications and Newspapers have Paywalls.This means that a lot of the most vital information will end up not being read because it costs money to access while a lot of questionable articles or outright lies are readily accessible and free.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Distorted galaxy NGC 2442 can be found in the southern constellation of the flying fish, (Piscis) Volans. Located about 50 million light-years away, the galaxy's two spiral arms extending from a pronounced central bar have a hook-like appearance in wide-field images. But this mosaicked close-up, constructed from Hubble Space Telescope and European Southern Observatory data, follows the galaxy's structure in amazing detail. Obscuring dust lanes, young blue star clusters and reddish star forming regions surround a core of yellowish light from an older population of stars. The sharp image data also reveal more distant background galaxies seen right through NGC 2442's star clusters and nebulae. The image spans about 75,000 light-years at the estimated distance of NGC 2442.

Run for cover,
try to hide,
the dreadful demon
is by your side.
The virus is coming
while you won't decide
to have a Plan,
for this evil ride.

Hey there, Donald Trump, Mr. President Man,
You still haven't made a virus plan.
Remember your words? What did you mean
When you said it will be gone by April 15?

I love to see your smiling face.
I would love to have an embrace,
But those times are gone. Gone away
And may not return for many a day.
I miss the joy, in your eyes,
But not the sound of your Goodbyes.

The times were good.
The times were bad.
The times were happy.
The times were sad.
The times, now today
The worst we've had.

Can you miss something
more than you can say?
Do you need it now
or can you wait 'til the day
you can afford to pay cash
for and then drive it away?

I await the dawning of the morning Sun,
For today's many events, yet to come.
Of things I now do see
Are complicated due to your infamy.
There is a law, as you say,
Keeping citizens from commenting on your foray.
Why not disappear and just go away.

The pungent scent
of ash laden rain,
brings forth memories;
forest fires, once again.

I see the scissors
in front of thee,
yet you ask
for them incessantly.
I try to tell you
where they are,
while you grab items
both near and far.
"Are these them?"
is what you ask.
Now I understand
you know not too
what objects are
in front of you.

COVID‐19 is an assault on America’s body, and a referendum on the ideas that animate its culture.....Continue Reading

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Did the Earth part to show us this comet? Of course not, even if this image makes it seem that way. Pictured far in the background is Comet NEOWISE as it appeared about two weeks ago over northern Greece. Above the comet are many stars including the bright stars of the Big Dipper (also the Sorcerer, in Aztec mythology), an asterism that many people around the world used to find the naked-eye comet as it hovered in the northern sky over the past month. In the foreground is Vikos Gorge, the deepest gorge on Earth, relative to its width. The gorge was slowly created by erosion from the Voidomatis River over the past few million years. Capturing this image took a lot of planning, waiting, luck, braving high winds, and avoiding local wolves. Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) continues to fade and is now best visible through binoculars as it coasts back to the outer Solar System. Notable Comet NEOWISE Images: July 31 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24

Today's most important story comes from Dr. Deborah Birx, the doctor advising the White House on the coronavirus. She warns that we are entering a “new phase” of the pandemic, when the virus is everywhere and is spreading at such a pace that we could see more than 300,000 deaths by the end of the year. On Saturday, the national daily death toll from Covid-19 reached 1,198, exceeding 1000 for the sixth day in a row.........Continue reading

My head is a blender,
whirling words all about.
I tread lightly so my anger
doesn't appear and come out.

Perhaps this life will have to do.
I am certain I won't find another you.
A friend in this long, long life,
The special person, my beloved wife.
We have been through thick and thin,
Now fighting a battle we can't win.

There is so much futility;
You don't have the ability
Nor the tool for tranquility
And all become a liability,
Charging to an old utility,
Bringing you back to reality,
Resulting in the end. Finality

Anesthesiologist Claire Rezba started tracking lost health workers almost instinctively. Researchers and industry professionals say the lack of good official data on these deaths is “scandalous” and is putting lives in danger........Read More
