It was super cool again.
I plan to post about my efforts toward voluntary simplicity, frugality, and debt free living. Much of this is grounded in environmentalism, politics, and social justice.

I SAW THE COMET!!!! !!!
It was super cool.
I was out driving at dusk, which I hate because...deer.
But I'd been helping with a chicken butchering day at a friend's place and that was when we were done enough to leave I had heard there would be a comet but since I didn't see the northern lights (living in a ravine with trees either side and falling asleep EARLY work against me).
SO I'm driving home and look west and THERE IT IS!!!! It looks like a COMET in a cartoon about comets. The big tail and everything. There wasn't anywhere safe to pull over so instead I was unsafely staring at the sky instead of the dusky deer ridden dark road.
To celebrate, my car wouldn't start this morning. I might have a battery drain issue, a super old battery, or both. Or...stuff I can't even imagine because I have no idea how cars work. I tried jumping it with the tiny jumpstart battery thing....nope. That had worked before so I guess I will get a new battery and see if that works. If not, I will jump it with the pickup...or use that AAA for a tow.
I drove the truck Friday, didn't drive Saturday, and drove the truck Sunday. So the car had sat several days. It did jump with the little jump starter thingy when I was parked at the airport 2 weeks so...probably battery???? (see above...I don't know how cars work).
