I wish our petrol (gas) prices were as low as yours! You've nothing to complain about there! The current UK average for unleaded is $7.03 per US gallon! ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Yeah, Blueski is annoying like that!

Oh, just noticed the leccy car is filling it's gas tank from its licence plate. ๐Ÿคฃ

$0.76 for Regular
$0.29 for Plus

Looks cheap enough to me.

P.S. Why has someone driven the leccy car through the patio doors? Is it another Muskmobile self-driving failure?

P.P.S. Why has little girl stolen one of mommy's fingers and glued it to her own hand?

AI? ๐Ÿคฃ

Sometimes, the weather just isn't fit for photographing the Moon. This morning at 01:00 was one of those times, but you still have to grab whatever the sky offers.

But, the bridge cam looks the wrong way. You'd think they would have repointed it last night!

I've seen one. They are awesome! Sacrifice whatever you need to ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Is the proportionality linear or logarithmic?

Nice! Where are you?

I'd love to but am just west of the Greenwich Meridian, so even if the perpetual cloud clears, there's no chance. Cloudy over Edmonton, right now, so Good Luck in Calgary!

I've just glimpsed it from Derbyshire, through the clouds. My cousin in Edmonton, Canada has wall to wall cloud for tomorrow's eclipse. Not looking promising.

Nice! Dense stuff, too. What does that little lot weigh?

It looks like you may also have captured one of Jupiter's Galilean moons, too.

Bark at the Moon?
Bat Out of Hell?

Cool shot!

I want to see his model of Jupiter to the same scale.

I have an exercise ball and some red paint I can send you...

Greenland? He wants the new oil (lithium).

Don't forget their peregrine falcons! I don't know their names, though.

I see a lot of XX and some XY. Maybe that is indicative of the first studies of cytogenetics. ๐Ÿ˜

Great! I'm looking forward to seeing them on my next visit.

Have you still got the peregrine falcons in the towers of the big dish?

Oh, and hello, Maurice!

It's a pity they didn't offer tickets for this voyage.
