noon Friday to 10:00 pm Sunday
please take care
Today is the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing, July 20, 1969. There was a modestly festive commemoration at the local public library (which is also one of the town cooling centers). After all, Exit 151 is where astronaut Buzz Aldrin grew up. The rather more elaborate commemorations in DC included outdoor movies about the Apollo 11 mission, not least the projection of the image of a Saturn Five rocket on the Washington Monument.
Meanwhile, the yarn for my August Loopy Space Camp arrived: Stonehedge Fiber Mill Shepherd's Wool, colorway Beaches. Even at a heat index of 115° F this stuff is so beautiful. Perhaps this sounds heat-crazed, but it makes me want to knit All The Things!
So I'm counting down to August, a bit more happily than this unwilling countdown in "Please Mr. Kennedy" sung by Oscar Isaac, Justin Timberlake, and Adam Driver in Inside Llewyn Davis.
Outer Space!
