Ramses the Great and the Gold of the Pharos. Traveling exhibit. Went Tuesday.
Beautiful museum. There’s an optional VR component. Liked it a lot. Worth full
price.
Last Monday, when Jupiter was at its closest, went up Mt. Hamilton with
binoculars and saw Jupiter’s moons, and got some photos as well (using a DSLR).
Enjoyed it a lot. (Gearld got scientific! Gayle got astronomical! and there was
future mission discussions…) Gerald recommends a movie called The Europa Report.
Short Circuit, Experimental Films (Disney+) animated shorts by new directors.
There’s a couple seasons. Highly Recommend.
Finished Galactic Derelict by Andre Norton. Liked Time Traders better, but
still liked it. Wonderful world building. Good book, abrupt ending. Looking
forward to the third book. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_Derelict

This week read The Golden Enclaves, the third book of Scholomance trilogy, by
Naomi Novik. Kind of Harry Potter meets Lord of the Flies. Very neat and
layered story. Highly recommend. Full price.
Rumor of the Week:
It's okay to be weird, just be nice about it.
