This picture is from another launch a few months ago, but this is what they looked like (this video was made into a gif so it is very short before it repeats, but they actually travelled steadily across the sky)
Kinda neat.
If it were closer to Christmas time and my kids were still little, I could have told my kids it was Santa, his sleigh and his reindeers out for a test run.

A balmy 17 degrees this morning here in middle TN
She is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are her life, her love, her leader.
She will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of her heart. You owe it to her to be worthy of such devotion.

Ahem... just for the record, us "redneck girls" do NOT seek plumber's butts. Eeeuuwwwww... "Wrangler butts drive us nuts." 
OMG, those hairs are the WORST! They hurt like nothing else! And I've also always been mystified how they get into that thick skin. It's a dobermystery for sure. 
Juniper, barberry and lavender seem to be the standbys here. I like the lavender I've seen, it grows well--but it's lavender. I don't think it would look good with my color house/brick/deck. I already have barberry on the front of the house, and juniper is....juniper. Lots of sizes and some different growth patterns and textures, but still....juniper. It's kinda overdone here. What variety of lavender, might I ask? I've been trying to get lavender to grow here (Zone 4) and I always lose it the first or second winter. I can keep it a full year if I bury it in hay in a chickenwire cage, but by the second winter, it always croaks. I like to use lavender in my soaps sometimes, but I don't want to use store-bought if I don't have to. So, if you know what specific type of lavender you have, please tell me? Pretty please? With sugar on top?
Wait, I just did a search for cold hardy lavender and besides the Munstead (which I have reliably killed three times in a row) there's now something called "Phenomenal" which is a hybrid and *supposedly* hardy even down to Zone 3, with winter protection. I might see if I can find some of that. From what I read, it grows taller and has longer flower spikes as well. But seriously, I live in South Dakota, so it might be some time before the nurseries here even hear about it, much less stock it. Well, I'll check.
What the heck are those for? 60 all at one time? 
Man, sometimes I really miss the 60s.
On a completely DIFFERENT note, I just heard some clunking behind me in the living room and turned around to see the newest little baby kitten (I'm sure he barely weighs a pound yet) on the end table, playing with his reflection in the brass lamp. He thinks there's another kitten in there! I guess he got bored, he couldn't get the other kitten to come out of the lamp, so he knocked over the box of tissues and jumped off the table.
Correction - I just weighed him (I got curious) and he weighs 23 ounces, so he's almost a pound and a half! He's finally putting on some weight, yay!

How those hairs get into the tough skin on the bottom of the foot is beyond me but it hurts so include me in the sissy club

Right! Not Levis!
WRANGLERS!
Ooh! La! La!
Do you like creased Wranglers, Lannie? I do, but I will ogle non-creased ones!
While we are on the subject, boxers or briefs?

My back is killing me from shoveling dirt and being a [email protected], carrying the bag of grass seeds and the bales of straw instead of using a wheel barrow, so I stayed home today. No pity from Mrs. TN, she just shook her head and gave me that "I told you so" look 
But hey, that doesn't mean I can't take a pic or two of Mocha in the snow

Lannie, re starlink satellites:
"Starlink is a satellite constellation being constructed by American company SpaceX to provide satellite Internet access. The constellation will consist of thousands of mass-produced small satellites, working in combination with ground transceivers."
This was just their second launch of 60 and they are already the largest commercial telecommunications satellite constellation in orbit.
"SpaceX estimates it needs at least six Starlink launches, presumably of 60 satellites each, to have a sufficient number to start offering internet access at high latitudes, such as Canada and the Northern United States. After 24 launches, SpaceX projects reaching global coverage — a milestone anticipated in 2020." SpaceNews
Is that something you guys will benefit from, you think??

I like to use lavender in my soaps sometimes, but I don't want to use store-bought if I don't have to. So, if you know what specific type of lavender you have, please tell me? Pretty please? With sugar on top?
Wait, I just did a search for cold hardy lavender and besides the Munstead (which I have reliably killed three times in a row) there's now something called "Phenomenal" which is a hybrid and *supposedly* hardy even down to Zone 3, with winter protection. I might see if I can find some of that. From what I read, it grows taller and has longer flower spikes as well. But seriously, I live in South Dakota, so it might be some time before the nurseries here even hear about it, much less stock it. Well, I'll check.

Two types of lavenders grow well in Colorado. The first is Lavandula angustifolia or English lavender. It is hardy to Zone 5 and often blooms twice in one season. There are hundreds of varieties of English lavender available depending on the color and size of plant desired. The second is a hybrid of L. angustifolia and L. latifolia. It is commonly referred to as a lavandin. Lavandins are generally larger plants that bloom only once later in the summer and produce sterile seed. The Lavandins produce larger quantities of essential oil but not as high quality as the English lavenders. Both types of lavenders have a place in landscapes and as a cash crop.
Hardy lavender varieties thrive in Colorado’s USDA Hardiness Zones 5 through 7. Note that French and Spanish lavenders are not cold hardy in Colorado but can be used as annuals in containers and outdoor beds.
