Dateline Australia ...

Six pieces of suspected space debris found washed up on north Queensland beaches could be “space balls” that are often left over from rocket launches, according to one expert.

The Australian Space Agency confirmed on Sunday it was working to determine the nature and origin of the mysterious objects, which police said were suspected of containing hazardous chemicals.

Reports showed the objects, washed up on beaches in the Forrest Beach area of Townsville, appeared to be large spheres.

The Queensland Fire Department said on Sunday a total of six objects had been found washed up on beaches. Five had been “secured into drums” and a sixth was being “rendered safe” on Sunday, a spokesperson said.​

They're combing the sands looking for them.

How the hell do you fix a building that seems to be collapsing 20 stories up?
Midtown Manhattan buildings evacuated after columns found buckling at high-rise construction site

Always fascinated how they build, and re-build, skyscrapers in Manhattan where there doesn't seem to be a lot of extra space for staging, cranes or even dumpsters. They'll have to chop the top off this building right? And even then?

I'm in dreamland. My FB REELS is bring up clips of Kim Alexis interviewing Carol Alt. OMG. Good thing I have two eyes. Amazing that they both were married to NY Rangers named Ron.

I've never worn hats. I have had a cap on my head since I could walk.
I find it fascinating how pretty much every cowboy hat, fedora, pork pie, whatever starts out as the same thing, and it all comes down to how it's cut and shaped.
I like watching hat shaping videos how they take them from a blank to various styles. It really impresses me, even though I'll never wear one.

The last sentence of today’s horoscope:

If single, consider opening up to someone with a square head on their shoulders and who knows what they want.​

So am I looking for a Roblox character or a Lego minifig?

Had a moment today. Self-checkout line at the grocery store. "Place bags in bagging area" (I did). Checker comes over and says I shouldn't have things in the bag. I take the items out and begin scanning, scanning......, it beeped on a Diet Coke twice, tried to edit it, Light starts blinging "Please wait for assistance." Waiting, waiting..ok 10 more seconds. Still nothing. The overly attentive checker doesn't seem to be so attentive anymore. 10 more seconds. Still nothing. I walked out - left everything there.
Yeah, I'll shop at that store again. but they'll never get the money they could have made today back. When it takes longer to self-checkout than to wait in line, you have a problem.

My competence in the self-checkout line evaporates after three items. I figure it’s good to know your limits.

The self-checkout lane used to be 10 items or less. They should go back to that.

“Tom Brady is Hawk Tuah.”

Is this choreographed as a prelude to some upcoming celebrity bout?

Costco’s machines are the worst.
