We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today is the 50th anniversary of the first Earth Day, or as you're likely to see it written these days, earth day.
You know what bothers me? You know what drives me batty these days? When did we stop capitalizing proper nouns? There's a difference between Earth and earth - the former is a planet, the latter is dirt (or a component of electrical wiring if you're of the British persuasion).
Good grief, people - you wouldn't say you're from paris or detroit, why would you say something happened on earth unless you were distinguishing it from having happened on water?
grr.
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
