   “ # StarWars : # Ashoka Episode 5 Is Getting a Limited Theatrical Release” WHUUUUUUUT!?!? I just learned about this from one of my nephews. We just finished an hour-long phone nerd-out over the first 4 episodes, and he dropped this little factoid on my plate. https://www. ign.com/articles/star-wars-ahs oka-episode-5-limited-theatrical-release I want to go to there. But will it be in # Sudbury ?!?!

   I have no memory of meeting Dr. Hitchon during my time at UW-Madison (98-04), but it was a big department with many compartments in the faculty. This fact about part of his life is weird and fascinating.

   Good news: haven't tested positive for # COVID in the 72 hours since onset of respiratory illness symptoms. That's a relief. So this is just day 3 of a cold I probably caught on the plane back from # Vienna . I am having the full intercontinental travel experience I used to enjoy! 😃

    Some lovely recordings of performances in which my sister has participated! She is the # bassoonist circled in green in the image below. She plays a bunch of instruments, and is very active on Instagram both about music and teaching (and cats). https:// youtu.be/qkLGKuUAe3w?si=ZjPyqv _Pgg7CIsZ0 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/176340d17417708b67d3400c85384c7e0f886d91af64890488e1624451ef9e52/view

    I am on shift again for the # HALO experiment. This means monitoring the data-taking system twice a day, ensuring hardware is running, and verifying the data integrity. It’s been a pretty nominal shift. There were a bunch of “coincidence” neutron bursts (random coincidences in time). No muon spallation events (where one of the two muons per day that pass through HAL…

    Neat video of the # meteor seen yesterday in parts of eastern North America.
