The seven days of the week are even named after the seven original planets. Sunday Mo(o)nday, and Satur(n)day are the most obvious, while Tuesday through Friday are more than a bit obscure. Tiw was an ancient Germanic god of war, as Mars was to the Romans, so Tuesday is actually Mars's day. Wednesday is Woden's day. Woden was the carrier of the dead--a Germanic grim reaper--fulfilling one of Mercury's less well-known jobs. (Continued in comments)
And it is no wonder that all of our basic units of time are based on the sky: A year traced the time it took for the sun to go all the way around the sky to reappear at the same location again, while a month (“moon-th“) is about the time it takes for the moon to circle the earth.

Took this picture on our walk yesterday. Nature can be so gorgeous and so violent--sometimes at the same time. Sort of like humans. I cannot see a god in this chaos as the administration further reeks havoc with P. 2025. Any god who approves of this current government is not a god I want any part of. Period.
Yet ... I do believe in rainbows. 🌈
I do not believe
in God because of rainbows.
Where's God in this mess?

pickI orchestrated my read of this book to coincide with a trip to Galapagos. I also read Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle and Origin of Species beforehand. This all contributed to my enjoyment of this book.
The Beak of the Finch is focused on the Grants, a family of scientists studying Galapagos finches. Highlighting their work, Weiner illustrates visible evolution that is occurring around us right now, not centuries from now.
pickClearly for whatever reason I'm in the mood to read a lot this weekend! Finally finished this up; it's very dense, despite looking quite a slim book. Not a lot that was new to me, as someone who reads popular science about dinosaurs whenever I see something new, and follows dinosaur news idly, but some interesting titbits.
Every day is
a rainy day without you
here right next to me.
