Jan 5th Sky overcast grey maybe rain again later. Lowering sky. In the gloom before the gloaming. Nontheless lucid.

Brightening up now. Kind-hearted thoughts towards all.

Many lacunae in this. Avoiding effrontery about weather. Culminating in calumniation?

Meanwhile on a cosmic scale, astronomically, it has been speculated by renowned astrophysicist, Brian Cox, that stellar behemoth Betelgeuse, a Red Giant. in Orion will become a Supernova? Only a guess The video I'm watching is narrated by annoying A.I. that wrongly pronounces words.

Thought:

Doofus the stupid
