I've already said my "Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit," so no need to go down that proverbial rabbit hole. Here are today's topics of interest.
Although there hasn't been as much publicity as there was for the No Kings marches, today is supposed to be a one-day general strike. Very appropriate for Worker's Day, May Day. Of course, the Strait of Hormuz is still closed and a tenuous ceasefire is in place despite dualing blockades. I suppose one could consider today's "strike" a practice run for what might be necessary if (when) TCF tries to stop or overturn the November elections. In any event, being retired, this is an easy one for me: an acequia walk or a garden visit, some Ingress, tidy up the office, cook something interesting, Gardener's World on BBC tonight.
Speaking of tonight, today is the first of two full moons in May. That's very auspicious, since Caro and I always celebrate an important lunar anniversary in May. Moules and frites are on the menu along with a favorite rosé wine finished off with dessert from Flying Star.
Also auspicious is the fact that a thunderstorm rolled through tonight. The forecast had written ABQ off for any measurable rain, but we've gotten 0.2" so far.
Late yesterday the NPN-USA folks hosted a Zoom webinar where University of Arizona students presented their research using Nature's Notebook data. Our BioPark observations were highlighted by one student (thanks, Bellamy!) and Theresa kindly complimented us on our work in the Cottonwood Gallery.
