The smartphone photos are crappy because of the lack of light. Oh well.
#Politics One Republican didn't vote present in the quorum.
Jordan just placed in nomination by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY). Going on an anti-Biden rant.
#Politics House Speaker lollapalooza delayed by quorum vote. The time expired long ago, still waiting for four members to show up. If some don't show, it affects the final count and margin of victory.
@MLClark I drove up the street this afternoon to get moo cow photos for you.
The first one is a bull with a cloaking device.
The bull is decloaked towards the back of the second photo.
We're unlikely to see much today, not just because of our location but also because of intermittent cloud cover.
The National Hurricane Center has this at 80% chance of tropical depression formation within the next week. Maybe I'll get a hurricane for my birthday later in the month. π π±
Smartphone still photos of the #SpaceX #Starlink launch this evening as seen from north Merritt Island.

Good morning from eastbound on State Route 528 ("the Beachline") heading towards the #SpaceCoast of #Florida.
It's a warm and muggy morning for a launch.
#Politics Hmmm ... Either she got hacked, or more House Republican palace intrigue. Mace (R-SC) was one of the eight who voted to vacate the chair and oust Kevin McCarthy.
