Trying to think of a totally inane subject for a pointless thread.

I will go and eat my dinner now.It is steak and chips.Tomorrow I will have my eye-test.I might need new spectacles.I don't know yet what kind of frames I will choose.It is very unlikely to rain tomorrow where I live.But it might.

I am getting new spectacles, too, a multiple prescription for astigmatism.

After doing some good chess improving work today, I'll goof off for a while playing the really good blitz players, slowly closing the gap, now that I'm working with a chess coach.

@morphyms1817 "the gap"?

that means the present rating/skill level separation between me and players 1 or 2 class levels above me

@morphyms1817 Oh ok. I thought you were trying to say that chess is a capitalism simulator...

Soon I will go for my eye-test.It is not raining again.

@obladie Does rain affect your eyesight?

Yes..you try seeing anything with your eyes full of rain water.

Scientists are using the Mars orbiting MAVEN spacecraft to measure the magnetic field of the planet and how the magnetic field interacts with the solar wind. Whereas the Earth has a powerful magnetic field that surrounds our entire planet, the magnetic field of Mars is spotty and localized. This weaker magnetic field is theorized as a cause of Mars atmosphere greatly depleting over the past 4 billion years.
