I can't believe I missed this anniversary earlier in the year!
Thirty years ago this year, in January of 1996, one of, if not THE, worst Star Trek episode ever aired: Star Trek Voyager's "Threhold".
This is the one that, for whatever reasons, Paris and Janeway 'evolved' into the future of humanity, those.....lizard/salamander things in the pic. And worse still, they stole a shuttlecraft and went to some planet and once the rest of the crew found them, it was discovered they had...mated and their offspring were running around like the lizards they were. Upon returned to Voyager The Doctor used some kind of weirdly named mumble jumbo and 'de-evolved' Paris and Janeway back to normal. Which meant in the end, the ship resumed it's course to the Alpha Quadrant and everything was back to normal.
Except....
What happened to their offspring? Maybe that planet where they were left is now filled with a heavily advanced society of 'evolved' humans?
Damn, what a STUPID episode.

So....
I realzied something earlier this week...
June 12: Earlier that week, I decided to take that Friday off, I've got the leave, and the boss approved it.
June 19: Juneteenth holiday, I was off work
June 26: I was sick with the flu this week from early Wednesday through Saturday
July 3: Work gave us the day before the holiday to take Independence Day
July 10: I had a prearranged doctor appointment
July 17: I had off the last half of this week due to a family situation (which didn't turn out as planned, but it's all cool).
So in other words, I haven't worked a Friday in 6 weeks! And it wasn't planned that way, it's just the way things turned out.
Crazy.

Badass Birthday
On this date, one hunder and 5 years ago, in 1921, in Ohio, John Glenn was born.
John Glenn was a distinguished fighter pilot having served in WWII and the Korean War. He made the first supersonic transcontential flight. He was one of the original Mercury Seven astronauts. He was the third American in space and the first to orbit the Earth. Following his retirement from NASA he served as a US Sentor from Ohio from 1974 to 1999. While still in the Senate, in 1998, he went back into space on a Space Shuttle, at the age of 77, also becoming the only person to go into space in both the Mercury program and a Space Shuttle. He passed away in 2016 at the age of 95.
A life like that epitomizes Badassitude.

Legion Lore
Matter-Eater Lad
As a resident of the planet Bismoll, Matter-Eater Lad has the ability to...well, to eat all matter in any form. Yeah, that's it, that's his power (he first premiered in 1962....I wonder what drugs Jerry Seigel and John Forte and their supervising editors were doing 60 years ago, but they musta been wonderful). It was later explained that the inhabitants of Bismoll had evolved themselves to consume any form of matter after toxic microbes contaminated all the edible food on the plant. Their teeth and jaws were modified to allow to bite through and chew wood, metal, stone, plastics, anything. And their digestive systems made to handles the results. (never mentioned is the assumption their indoor plumbing systems had to be totally reworked as well)
Due to the obviously somewhat limited application of his powers, Matter-Eater Lad wasn't seen too much after joining the team. Since the writers didn't know what to do with him or how to use him, they had him be drafted into politics on his homeworld and win a seat in the Senate there. Thus he had to go to reserve status. Some time after that, when an insane Brainiac 5 built the Miracle Machine, which was impervious to any harm, the Miracle Machine unleashed the creature Omega on the team and they couldn't defeat it. Brainiac 5 in a moment of lucidity, solved the problem by calling M-E Lad back to Earth and had him consume the Miracle Machine, thus ending Omega. But also driving M-E Lad insane.
He was institutionalized for several years. And when he finally returned to sanity, he just returned to Bismoll and reassumed his seat in the Senate (as being certificably insane and in an insane asylum was not grounds for removing him from his Senate seat).
Matter-Eater Lad had occasional adventures with the Legion until it's disbandment after the Magic Wars.

The map from this morning showing the air quality for the day. I'm in the edge of the white area.
I can personally attest to the air quality. There is a yellowish tint in the air when I look out the windows. Below is a picture of the sun I took about 830am, as you can see there's a haze covering the light.
I haven't been outside since, though I am going to mom's tonight for supper. I do think I'll take a mask along when I go and wear it between the houses and the car.

On this date, in 1928 in San Francico, Vince Guaraldi was born.
What? Who? Huh?
Vince Guarldi was a jazz pianist and composer. He even won a Grammy Award in 1963 for Best Original Jazz Compisition. He released 11 albums.
None of this is what makes him a badass though. What does?
He is the person who composed the songs for the Charlie Brown animated specials! Yep, THIS man is responsible for songs such as "Linus And Lucy" and "Christmas Time Is Here".
Surely any person responsible for THOSE two classics has earned the title of Badass!
Sadly, he died in 1976 at the too-soon age of 47.
