Day 13 of Covid and I’m allowing myself to draw for 3-4 hours at which I’m light headed and woozy. Can’t imagine if I were still a professor. On the bright side, I’ve discovered this show called Dr Who. I’m only 11 eps in, but it’s pretty good.

After seeing Kilauea this week, I really want to create a “Half the park is after dark” poster for . It’s the place where the world below meets the world above. (Note: these are my pre-2018 caldera-collapse photos).

Today is the 25th anniversary of the Sagan Planet Walk model solar system in Ithaca NY where the Sun is as big as a basketball. I just lead a group of members to the Alpha Centauri marker in Hilo, Hawaii, 4000 miles away.

In 1995 I met Frank Drake at Carl Sagan’s 60th birthday. He was a lovely guy who was delighted to sign this back of the envelope I’d written his equation on. I’d copied it from Carl’s book Cosmos. He said, “Oh, this is wrong,” then rewrote it & signed it.
