Awaiting the Starlink train
Even a false alarm can be “alarming”; this afternoon the alert system notified the whole interprovincial region that there might be a live shooter in the Halifax area. No chances taken; things halted. Stores and public spaces were locked. And then, we waited. Several hours later, the all-clear. We will probably never know what set off the response, although someone did mention that there was some blasting in a quarry (work related). Again, no chances taken. And I guess that’s how it should be.
Yesterday, the strange president mused during a press session that maybe we could clear up this pandemic (the same one he had proclaimed a hoax, only weeks ago) with injections of disinfectant and “getting some bright light, like UV” inside the body cavities. You can’t make this sh*t up. He later tried to claw back his words, with a claim that this was just a joke. Sorry, doesn’t work that way. I had been on the phone earlier, with a neighbour, who believes that the prez can’t be wrong. Don’t know what to make of that…
On a calmer note, I did spot two hares (practicing serious social separation) this afternoon. One, gray, in the front yard and the other, caramel and white, below the house. I wonder if they know one another?
Not much else to add. A very quiet day. I’m hoping to spot the “starlink train” in just over an hour. Elon Musk launched a small constellation of satellites several days ago. Not yet fully deployed, they are following a very interesting fly-over pattern in a straight line. I’ve seen photos from over the city, last night. I’m hoping the clouds will hold off. If not, then tomorrow.
