The pictures above were taken with my cell phone and show moments after the main booster (first stage), had separated from the second stage. The second stage was carrying a payload of 20 Starlink mini satellites. After separation the main booster then turned around and landed vertically, eight minutes later, at Vandenberg, so that it could be used again in the future. Amazing engineering.

Amazing engineering.

That's why Muskrat bought it and claimed it was his technology.

On Saturday, after we’d returned to the farm, I went out the side door of the garage and found two baby skunks scurrying around inside the two-sided enclosure around the transformer and meter loop for our electrical service. The were cute, about the size of young kittens, but I made a mental note to keep an eye out for their mama. We hadn’t seen the babies, or mama since, until this morning…

We put food out for the barn cats on the deck off our kitchen/dining room. When I went to the kitchen to make coffee this morning mama skunk was helping herself to the food left in the cat’s dish.

Skunks are cute... especially the really young ones.

Raccoons are sorta cute.

Chipmunks are cute.

And I don't want any of them living on my property.

I had that car until someone rear ended me and totalled it. Still probably my favorite car of all time.

I have 2, one for me and 1 for her. I've owned several saabs over the past 20 years of driving, I liked the 2 900 spg's I had also but the viggens are where my heart is. Sorry to hear that someone ruined yours.

I'm perpetually jealous of you rust-free southerners.

Meanwhile, my 2006 Ford with 200k miles is reverting back to the earth from which it came.

I'm in PA and for from rust free.. those cars stay in the garage for salt (snow) season. Our daily drivers are not so lucky.

Advantage is there are standards for the cars on the road in PA. If something, say like a bumper, is missing you need to get it fixed. Rusting out wheel wells won't pass the state inspection process, and will require to be replaced, if I remember correctly.(it has been 20+ since I went through that process there)

Some states have no such requirements and literally (literally) just about anything is allowed on the roads.
