On this day in the year 2063, in a remote area near Bozeman, Montana, a Vulcan survey ship will make first contact with the human race. Perhaps some of today’s homeschoolers will be there to see it. 👽 🖖 👨🚀 😊
Earlier in the day, Zefram Cochrane will break the warp barrier for the first time, and the Vulcans, who had previously taken no notice of us (“too primitive”), will decide to say hello. And the rest will be history.
Sure on This Shining Night
James Agee
Sure on this shining night
Of star-made shadows round,
Kindness must watch for me
This side the ground.
The late year lies down the north.
All is healed, all is health.
High summer holds the earth.
Hearts all whole.
Sure on this shining night
I weep for wonder wand’ring far alone
Of shadows on the stars.
