Terrible fires in California destroyed my friend's family business of 30 years.
They are fundraising Only a small amount to give their employees a generous last paycheck.
Oasis Imports was on the corner of Topanga Canyon & Pacific Coast Highway.
Prayers to all who lost loved ones, homes, or businesses in these Terrible fires, still not out! 🙏
Henry Gray of #GraysAnatomy in a dissection room, c.1845. Gray contracted smallpox after caring for his nephew, who eventually recovered. On 13 June 1861, the day he was to appear for an interview as a final candidate for a prestigious hospital post, he died at the age of 34.

“When I go from hence, let this be my parting word, that what I have seen is unsurpassable, I have tasted of the hidden honey of this lotus that expands on the ocean of light, and thus I am blessed. Let this be my parting word. In this playhouse of infinite forms, I have had my play, and here have I caught sight of him that is formless…”
-- the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore
This important property of Cepheid variable stars was discovered by astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt. It makes them “standard candles” (a term she coined) that we can reliably use for establishing distances to cosmologically nearby galaxies.
Henrietta Swan Leavitt’s period-luminosity relationship for Cepheids is one of the first rungs on the “cosmic distance ladder,” the collection of methods used by astronomers to measure extragalactic distances.

I take my wisdom wherever I find it.
This dialogue resonated with me. It helps me grow my heart larger, and hold a space for the grief I bear mourning the unexpected loss of my Mother.
From television series, "Discovery of Witches":
"Grief carves a place in the heart and sits there forever, but when focused can be a powerful motivator.
Sadness becomes resolve, and pain becomes action."
For you, Momma, I will focus my sadness into resolve, take action, and rejoin the world of the living.
"I believe in being truthful, not neutral. We must stop banalizing the truth."

Short rant.
Southwest Air has cancelled ~70% of its flights in an epic meltdown this holiday season.
Remember, Southwest took $3.7B in federal aid from 2020-21.
It’s CEO got a pay raise to a $9.1M package in 2022.
Yet Southwest employees are working 16 hour shifts & threatened w/termination if they refuse overtime or call in sick.
Socialism for the wealthy. Capitalism for workers.
Stop trusting billionaires. Start holding them accountable. And start protecting workers.
End Rant.
