gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Pleasant weather.
So many kitty snuggles.
I went to see River, and the person who usually comes at 7 pm came early, so I saw her while I was getting River ready. She has challenges and cannot hear or speak well, so she signs. She showed R and I how to say "Happy New Year".
The barn cats now have a ritual with me, where I snuggle the crap out of them for about ten minutes while River eats his mash before we work. They are very sweet.
River and I worked with the obstacles that were set out in the arena for awhile. I worked with him to clean up his responses on a few things. It's a process.
Then I rode bareback, some with the bitless bridle (as we do have to remember to work on collection) and with the neck rope. He's getting very nice about doing a trot that is very smooth.
I came home and didn't do much. Had a nap.
My husband has been sick with some kind of flu today. He said he woke up this morning for work and immediately had to throw up, so he stayed at the apartment. By evening he said he was already feeling a lot better.
I learned about a giant basin on the far side of the moon, that would have been caused with an impact with an object about 200 km in diameter (for reference, the one that caused the K-2 event's massive extinctions was about 10-15 km in diameter). The contact with the moon was considered to be low impact, and the body did not stay on the moon, but struck it and kept going. It still left an enormous crater, and caused a great deal of heat and volcanic activity.
"THE SOUTH POLE-AITKEN BASIN on the Moon formed from a gigantic impact about 4.3 billion years ago. But that impact may have changed everything about the Moon and explained why the lunar farside looks so different from the nearside, the side we see from Earth."
