Martian Sunset
Who isn’t moved by a beautiful sunset?
Like so many young people entering the business world in my twenties, I shortly became consumed, and, in a weird way, ultimately “addicted” to the pressure to perform. I asked my first administrative assistant to buzz my phone as the sun was going down, just because I believed that taking a short break and beholding something as incredible as the sun setting in the California sky would improve my level of thinking and creativity.
She and I would watch for a few moments as the sun passed beneath the horizon, to the explosion of colors that it afforded us, before we both got back to work.
Whether the sunset on Mars pictured here holds the same level of beauty is a judgement call, but in any case, it more than makes up for that by provoking our sense of wonder.
Haven’t we all been through too much of this, especially knowing that it’s only going to get worse?

Robert Rapier, who works in the energy industry and writes and speaks about issues involving energy and the environment, was one of my first contacts in the renewable energy field. He writes about the graph below:
It’s possible that, given the Republicans have lost control of the White House and both houses of Congress, the U.S. federal government could produce some common-sense gun laws in the next year or two.
