The TV series that followed s bunch of kids from age 7, 14, 21, 28 etc, is about to wrap up (for real this time) at age 70 — “70 Up”

Moving blanket shades etc.
I recently made two window shades, a desk pad, and a stool cushion for a customer using 60s moving furniture blankets. They were very thick to work with, used my Nakajima walking foot industrial machine to sew on the binding.

Customer is pleased, and sent me photos of them installed.

Earth’s center is moving, and NASA just measured it
Earth’s center of mass is constantly on the move, shifting by a few millimeters as enormous amounts of water, ice, and even air migrate around the planet with the seasons. NASA scientists have developed a more precise way to track these tiny swings using laser-ranging satellites, GPS data, and measurements of how water and ice deform Earth’s crust.

My cats have very different bed habits.
Lulu has a fixed spot in my bed. If she comes to sleep with me, she lies down next to my pillow, on my left side.
Mr. Ek tends to find the thickest spot on the bed covers, so I have to dislodge him whenever I lie down. He waits for me to settle then, and lies against me, to my left.
Ruh on the other hand start her night-time routine when I lie down. She walks to the window sill, then walks around the bed, then does a few rounds next to me, before finally lying down for snuggles. Sometimes she repeats the whole process a few times, moving to different sides. However, if Lulu and Mr. Ek take the left side, she is stuck with the right side.
So while the position of the other two cats is pretty predictable, it's hard to figure out where Ruh is. When I lie down, I tend to wonder if it's bright enough outside that once my eyes adjust to the darkness I'd be able to spot her outline. After a minute or two, I realize I need to open my eyes to actually look for her.

The arriving species already had a place to live, lower on the mountain, but the disappearing ones won't find a new place. 'Escalator to extinction', an effective phrase to describe this. Similar to what happens to species moving towards the poles.
