Boldly Going Forward
Jan. 10th, 2021 05:19 pmMore of a sense of Resemblance of Normal today. The sun was out, the park beckoned.

On Frozen Pond. Yes, it was cold. One of her buddies was late, but Pepper didn't seem to mind:

A larger group has been meeting up round this hour on Sundays, neighbors of this particular town park, and Pepper got in a round of Chase the Stick with a very regal Corgi-beagle:

I guess the other one will rule England. I'm fine with that.
We did some cleaning, Eleanor did more rebuilding of the kitty castle in the living room, and I spent most of the afternoon catching up- on time records from last week and on the last episode of the current Star Trek season. It was good but not great, left some things unresolved and never delivered on one implied promise from the previous week, but ended with this as the message before the closing credits, attributed to the franchise's late creator (although nobody has yet to source it):

To be honest, I can't find anything in particular in the episode or season that appeared in, or the series or franchise as a whole, that made that quote relevant. Unless.... although its official air date was Thursday, I believe it actually dropped on CBS All Access late the previous day. January 6, 2021, the day your grandchildren will know the way our grandparents knew December 7, 1941. And there was a Star Trek movie called "Insurrection," for whatever THAT's worth.
We're not going to solve the problems reflected by the real events of January 6, 2021. except one connection at a time. Not through unjust vengeance, or through false pleas for "healing," but by remembering what is right, and true, and leading to a bright future for all of us.
And forget your stupid Space Force. I'll wait 110 years for Starfleet, thank you.
Let's fly.
