Enjoying a Life of Crime!
Ah, I love Monday evening TV which, tonight, consists of:

Brokenwood Mysteries — a police series set in New Zealand
The Vanishing Triangle — a true story of a serial killer set in Ireland
Harry Wild — a PI series also set in Ireland

I love Acorn TV for the choice of shows offered from all over the world. Which includes lots of murder-mysteries, police dramas, and all things crime. https://acorn.tv/brokenwoodmysteries

@alexandra Have you seen Blue Lights yet? It's on BritBox I think - set in Belfast about rookie cops on the PSNI. I loved it!

Any more extroverts married to introverts out there? Things my wife hates worse than death - 1) Going into a store to pay for gas in person 2) Someone sitting beside her at the movies 3) Invitations to anything but particularly from neighbors

@robb And yet you are the opposite on the Internet! I have to beg her to make social media posts public when I want to share them. Oh well, I love you guys even if I will never understand you. ❤️

Here's the aurora through conifer trees & sunspot complex 3664 that produced the solar storm. (Large dark area on the right limb of the sun). It's 17x larger than the Earth! Richard Carrington made a drawing of a similar spot in 1859 that produced a solar storm which lead to the Carrington Event. A Carrington Event today would severally damage satellites, power grids, & communications. In 1859, it caused fires in telegraph offices & the aurora was so bright people could read by it!

Loads of peeps, in my circle, have reached out about my post (https://vincentritter.com/2024/05/05/15-17-12) the other day. I'm really thankful for everyone that did. Sometimes a post like that is needed, so please know that I'm an open book — and I want to keep it that way.

Some peeps (OMG he said "peeps") might get offended by my comments, and that made me uncomfortable — and you know... I think it's actually fine — people get easily offended by how the feather f https://vincentritter.com/2024/05/10/22-22-44

From my 100 Strangers Project - Miranda, a real-life Roller Derby Queen. I thought Roller Derby died in the 70s and she told me that it had in fact done so but the 21st century has seen a revival. Miranda was a slight, if athletic woman with a definite energetic presence and a sense of enthusiasm.
