Launch Button; Panic Button?

Wait a minute. Something like this shows up abruptly…

Mysterious missile launch off California

and nobody thinks it’s a warning shot to the USA?! 😯

And if it had been targeted on Los Angeles, they would have had no forewarning to speak of.

Well, never mind me and my Conspiracy Bait and whatever else this is.

Few details are surfacing about the mysterious missile launch seen Monday night Nov. 8 from a point just off the southern coast of California, with aerospace and defense officials trying to find out exactly who launched it and why.

“We’re looking into it,” Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration, told SPACE.com.

CBS affiliate KCBS caught the launch on camera and reported that military officials were “tight-lipped over the nature of the projectile.”

In the video, a long plume of exhaust can be seen as the missile rockets into the evening sky. The launch occurred about 35 miles out at sea, west of Los Angeles and north of Catalina Island.

So there you are. No big deal. Nothing here. Move along now.

I’ve launched model rockets before as well. 🙄

Fall Apples, Roadside

Yesterday morning, early, I rolled the garbage can out to the side of the road.

And decided to take a few early-morning, sun-rising fall photos. Of the maple trees. And the fog.

Then I looked west down the road.

And saw the fallen apples.

Fall apples near Hubbard, Oregon
outside the fog line
Fallen apples -- Hubbard
casting shadows near the bridge
blurred beauty
on Whiskey Hill Road’s shoulder
going to waste
fall apples, wasting away

I’m thankful I could see those apples at that time of day in that kind of lighting with that kind of background.

Above all, love God!
