@RikerGoogling Sunny, light breeze, about 75 degrees, after a good lunch. Lots of blood wine helps.
@RikerGoogling ... and was he hot?
@tubetime Wow, flashback to working in the bindery at the local college library while I was in school. We'd bind a year's-worth of a periodical into a volume to go in the archives. There was a special bookbinders vice to hold the stack, then drill through in several locations, sew, glue with something called "runny paste", a strip of mesh, more glue, double-stitch binding to hold the cover boards than colored binders tape to finish it off. I did many hundreds.
@tubetime Is there any cure for that coat of sticky stuff? I have a couple of these stashed away. I scrounged them and a docking station to use as a desktop back in the day when I couldn't coax a computer out of the people at work.

This object, called the Helix nebula, lies 650 light-years away, in the constellation of Aquarius. Also known by the catalog number NGC 7293, it is a typical example of a class of objects called planetary nebulae.

@SpockResists Now I can't imagine how it was back in the day when we had to wait a whole week for another episode, and didn't have our own DVD collection or streaming to turn to for more. My travel kit includes a pocket hard drive with nearly all of Star Trek on it.
