Ha! I can remember watching the 1941 cartoon in the mid-to-late 50's. That was the first time I heard a "cat whistle." I always believed that's where the term originated. 🤣🤣🤣

Earth is 5.51 g/cm^3, the winner due to its large iron-nickel core. Venus runs a close 2nd. Mercury would win, if it was bigger and the same composition.

#WritersCoffeeClub 20260310: How informal is your prose? Is there a limit to informality?

I am not a person of great courage, though I sometimes aspire to the courage I recognize in others. None of my stories have ever been burned in a school furnace (that I know of; the regime is young). I write formally, except in dialog where I try to write with an ear to what the people around me sound like or what I imagine their character and circumstances demand.

Is there a limit? For me, the answer is “yes.” I think that the self-censorship inherent in that admission is a failure on my part. I am reminded of the letter, written by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. to the superintendent of a school system that burned all the copies they could find of his book “Slaughterhouse Five.” Vonnegut’s comments about “coarse language” are worth a moment to consider. I saw the letter presented as a video which I have linked below.

Enjoy.

Reminds me of Samuel Clemens. . .born in 1835 and died in 1910.

"The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.'" He died the day after perigee.

#hashtaggames #Wordle #Wordle1731 2/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I had decided to give up Wordle, but old habits die hard. I found myself trying out the first guess this morning. So, then I tried a wild shot at the solution. I am reminded of a gambler who decides not to bet on the races. Then, his horse comes in on a 100-to-1 longshot and he's hooked again. I need some time away from this... 🤣🤣🤣

The mere thought that the cell membranes that separate our being from the environment (the "I" from the "non-I," the order from the chaos) consists of nothing more than two layers of fatty acid molecules that hang together because the hydrophobic tails tend to dissolve in each other and the hydrophilic heads prefer to dissolve in water--it both defines and boggles my mind. 🤣🤣🤣
