Published on Sep 16, 2015, and filmed on a dry lakebed in Nevada, a group of friends built the first scale model of the solar system with complete planetary orbits: a true illustration of our place in the universe. Science is awesome, isn’t it?
Today Liberty (and Asia) took a tour of the WAVY 10 news room in Portsmouth; which was cool. But even cooler was when Liberty got to meet and take a selfie with one her favorite meteorologists (she’s kind of a weather nerd), Jeremy Wheeler.

Liberty and I caught a production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing being put on by the Fine Arts Dept of Tidewater Community College this evening. As I write this I don’t know if it will be very good… We’re waiting in the crowd in our lawn chairs. Nonetheless, it’s a great night for it.
