Resonant Constellation

I am preparing a nice long post on a day hike myself and a few friends took last weekend, but in the meantime, feast your eyes on this image, courtesy of the BBC:

This is what some are calling the Green Catastrophe. I think it is a thing of pure beauty and wonder, and should be hung in a gallery. Or perhaps at the White House. Maybe we could blow it up 1000% and place it on the top of the Washington Monument. Maybe that’s too far. In any case, if you don’t know what this image shows, click on it and read the article.

As an American who prefers real football to the American version (alternatively called Armored Wankball or Handegg), I am quite pleased with today’s England/USA World Cup match result. Maybe you could tell from my post? This actually puts us into a better spot than I was expecting for the first round. Of course, when we are eventually knocked out (as we always are), my allegiance shifts to England, then if needed to either Italy or Germany depending on who is still in it and various factors. I think I’m most pleased, however, that many of my countrymen finally seem to care about the sport.
