Some Iceland magic today: graves each with their own Christmas lights

The new Super Orbital Transport has to be one of the most fun kits I've ever built. Really fun, every step of the way. I took two small creative liberties with it; added a tailcone on the MMT for a bit more finished look and went with pearl white paint (pics don't do it justice). Looking forward to having some soft green grass on our local field to give this its first flight.

@MasterNinjaTS fireworks started crazy early here and Pico has been scared all day. Ugh. One firework show should be enough - but no, every single house has a show lol

Whether or not you count the same days, observe the same holidays, or recognize the same cycles of time as your ancestors – the systems they developed, and even our current systems, will outlast the cultural memory. Every day is likely New Years Day in some culture, somewhere on this Earth, even if no one living remembers. And that’s a reason to celebrate every day.

Since it's that time of year, here's my entirely unsolicited opinion (again):

All fireworks are terrible and the light and noise aren't worth the sleep disruption, pet trauma, stress for those with mental health challenges, air pollution, hearing damage / physical injuries.

Consider finding a less unpleasant way to celebrate.

The Space Needle in Seattle, Washington tonight.

Testing the lights for the New Year's Eve countdown Saturday night.

Something to look forward to in the coming years is the availability of new radio telescope arrays to be backdrops in sci-fi movies.
One is ngVLA, the planned successor to New Mexico's famous JVLA. ngVLA will have 244 18m antennas, vs 28 25m antennas for JVLA.

In my house, my husband does most of the cooking. This wants to know “who-cooks-for-you?”

Yesterday HAARP lit up a passing asteroid with radio waves during a test. It's great to see one of the OG science facilities that caused conspiracy theorists so much consternation over the years still going strong.

Port Angeles, Washington

"From sea level to ski level"

With the Strait of Juan De Fuca on its doorstep, and the Olympic Mountains/National Park in its backyard.

Mt Rainier, Washington

Looking like a scene out of "The Sound of Music", Mt Rainier ("Tahoma", meaning "Mother of Waters" in the language of the Puyallup Tribe) rises above an Alpine meadow near the Sunrise Lodge. You can see the Emmons glacier (source of the White River) and the moraine valley it created.
