Today's chocolate-covered fortune cookie: "Others appreciate your expressive qualities." Does this mean that some people don't mind that I talk so much? ;-)

Terribly sad: "as the universe expands faster and faster, it will eventually get to a point where . . . all but our local group of galaxies will have moved so far away they will be lost forever." They aren't disappearing, but rather the space between them will be expanding so fast -- faster than the speed of light -- that "the light from those galaxies will never reach us again." Among other things, this means that "any cosmologist of that distant time who tries to figure out the history of the universe will have no clue to the Big Bang or the existence of the vast clusters of galaxies we can see today in every direction . . . ." Depressing. And lonely.

Alert: tonight is the last episode ever of Gilmore Girls!! It came upon us so suddenly... I knew the series was ending, but hadn't seen any "Series Finale! Series Finale!" ads or anything. I probably won't actually watch it tonight, as I haven't seen last week's episode yet (due to local news coverage of the large forest fires consuming The Southland). But that will let me postpone the mourning just a little longer...
