Escape velocity is hard to realize in such cold weather.  The Stratus doesn’t move so freely with frozen muck on the undercarriage.

It is truly amazing how journalists can operate for weeks without finding a good story, then we get slammed with several in the same day.  I compare it to long distance space travel.  You spend copious amounts of time in black emptiness, then one day, radiation from a supernova melts your shorts.  Tuesday was one of those days, though I kept my threads intact.  Missouri’s governor announced he won’t seek a second term (the way it occurred was strange); a famous actor died; a polarizing member of Kansas City’s parks board resigned (her letter started “Enough already!”); and a judge recommended an officer fired in a traffic stop that resulted in a miscarriage be reinstated.  We really need to spread these stories out.
