Rattling future asteroids

In the Sunday mailbox…

The comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz, was first published today in 1950.

And, it is the 90th anniversary of the birth of Shel Silverstein ( The Giving Tree) in Chicago, Illinois, in 1932.

“...young people have no patience with craftsmanship any more. They think, therefore they am [sic]. It's not enough. You don't think, therefore you are. You do, therefore you are, or else you aren't." – Shel Silverstein

To be a parent is to see your child nudge humanity,

a body that leaves your kitchen and makes

an impact that ripples out for all eternity.

– Katie Kemple, from her poem “Trajectory,” published by Rattle Online (10/2/22) as a response to The Washington Post headline NASA crashes spacecraft [the size of a refrigerator] into asteroid.
