Three Questions, December 21, 2024

What did I encounter that was beautiful today?

The most beautiful thing I saw today is one of my favorite sights on the drive to Vegas. Just as you come over the hill before you leave California heading East is this tremendous solar field. This field uses a mirror towers to heat fluids to drive the power creation process. The light from the mirrors across the fields in the dusty desert air is gorgeous.

What did I learn today?

Happy Solstice Day! Today I learned where the term solstice comes from and now you will know as well. The word solstice from the Latin words sol, meaning sun, and sistere, meaning to stand still. The term was used by ancient astronomers to describe the day when the sun appeared to stop moving

What made me happy today?

One of the things I miss about living in Southern California is the prevalence of Del Taco restaurants. They have two items on their menu that I really dig, their egg and cheese breakfast burritos and their chicken soft tacos. Made me happy to snag to an egg and cheese burrito this morning.
