Lake Mead’s water level is up by 16 feet after two years of voluntary conservation by California water users, according to the Colorado River Board of California. Those users have conserved over 1.2 million acre-feet of water since first making a late-2022 commitment to use less. From SFGate.

Adulting today - Colonoscopy. At least the facility is only 5 minutes from my home. One small polyp found, just like the last two times. Yay! All done for 5 or so more years. Get one if you’ve reached 50 years old or are older and never had one done.

I still miss Pluto as a planet.

The IAU downgraded the status of Pluto to that of a dwarf planet because it did not meet the three criteria used to define a full-sized planet. Pluto essentially meets all the criteria except one—it “has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects.” Boo.

Because Thanksgiving Day is this Thursday, I thought id get in the spirit. Which one is for you? My answer is C, but D is good. My boxer dogs would run to the kitchen when they heard me squirt whipped cream on my food. They got a squirt in their food bowl. #Thanksgiving #whippedcream #pumpkinpie

More Science Sunday. Wash your hands after using the bathroom. Also wash your hands after handling raw meat. There have been outbreaks of Hepatitis-A in produce and at restaurants because various workers didn’t wash their hands. #washyourhands

If you followed me on FB, I randomly posted Science Sunday. 🦋 So here it goes on BlueSky. From FB this week, NASA Earth published this photo about the largest estuary in Madagascar.

Cutting SS…. That money isn’t from the general fund. Congress has borrowed $2.9trillion, but has been paying it back with interest. So far…. $85.1billion in interest.

I’m sure they should release their report on Garth.
The House Ethics Committee is meeting on Wednesday to decide whether to release their report on Matt Gaetz.

This meeting, which had previously been cancelled, is now back on the books.
