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

Bean - A Free, Lightweight Word Processor https://apps.louplummer.lol/post/bean-a-free-lightweight-word-processor For years, Bean, a free word processor for macOS has been my go-to when I needed to create a document with rich text, tables and images. Weighing in at only 8MB, it starts instantly and places little demands on even my wife's 10-year-old machine. It reminds me of Microsoft's WordPad... Apps

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.

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.
