Desert sky report.
First, a vignette (eyepiece hasn’t got enough eye relief for the phone camera) of the moon about 36 hours after the totality visible from Antarctica.
A day later with Venus, which shows last quarter from 20s on a tripod. Some overcast.
I don’t know why I am compelled to tell @Laughing Grass this. I may have imagined she said something a year ago.
On cold calm nights, the desert develops a shallow but intense inversion layer. Once the sun rises, this layer thickens and dissipates. But along the way, it casts mirages. Here is a grow op a coupla miles away, funhouse mirror style. I think that’s a fence post buzzard in foreground.
Wave clouds the day before the rain. This is a lovely diaphanous one dissipating.
Others built in as the storm came closer.
Space whale? With abstract calf.
This am: sailors take warning.
Storm incoming
Storm breaking up
Not a bad planespotting week. A Global Hawk at full altitude. That mysterious old four-engined NASA jetliner type. A -22 doing expensive happy bullshit. Coupla -18s and a -16 doing what I think of as “Air Force tai chi”, going through air combat maneuvers at like 1/4 speed.
A T-38 in that nice white NASA livery headed west. When it came east, I swept it up in the binos, and bonus! It was 100 feet off the wing of the white Eagle that sometimes comes through.
There is a local person who operates a Fouga Magister trainer from early-50s France. A very elegant V-tailed ship with two tiny turbojets that don’t make for a whole lotta top speed.
I saw it on two occasions, luxuriating in aerobatic maneuvers. Now there was somebody successful, having the time of his life at 3000 feet bending a French trainer to his will! Yeeeeee!
On the old trainer front, twice I heard and then saw a white straight-wing ship (tentatively a Macchi 38
at contrail altitude. Pretty sure it’s operated by the private Test Pilot School out of Mojave.
Oh. Saw the comet Tuesday 5am.

"The Times this year has documented a series of problems with Medicare’s ratings system. Much of the data that powers the system is wrong and often makes nursing homes seem cleaner and safer than they are. The rating system also obscures how many residents are receiving powerful antipsychotic drugs. On the rare occasions when inspectors issue severe citations, nursing homes can fight them through an appeals process that operates almost entirely in secret. If nursing homes don’t get the desired outcome via the informal review, they can appeal to a special federal court inside the executive branch. That process, too, is hidden from the public."

How Nursing Homes’ Worst Offenses Are Hidden From the Public (Published 2021)
Thousands of problems identified by state inspectors were never publicly disclosed because of a secretive appeals process, a New York Times investigation found.

More winter skies.
It’s the time of year when the tag end of the Sierra snuggles under its winter coat. Sun still below my horizon
Busy day at altitude! I saw three fighter types and the B-1B, wings extended.
A nice colorful halo.
This am before sunup.

I like the looks of this type of table.They all are really nice but that last one I really like. Makes me think of this.
I would not pay to have one built.

I heard the tones when you said that. Saw it in a theater after smoking some good hash. I was bored at first, then it got interesting real quick.

Those are handy!
National weather service needs to lighten the sensitivity on the radar, it's been showing rain and snow for four hours, so far the only thing falling out of the sky is pine needles.

Yeah totally.
I just bought a little wood alligator that would look so good on that table.

Try Wundermap, there's is a bit better but if you do a loop go to 5X and turn off weather stations.Those are handy!
