One day is much like another these days, weekend or not. I was working today, unwilling and unable to make much progress. The sun was out, and we went for coffee in the late afternoon, taking a winding way back. Now I am working again as the GF cooks dinner.
I listened to an interesting podcast, on rare earth mining in China, Brazil and the moon. The latter because apparently when China stopped some exports of processed rare earths in 2010 there was a bit of a global panic and a good many policymakeres decided to start exploring rare earth mining on the moon, believing that rare earth minerals are called that because they are rare and found only in China. In reality they’re all over the place including California.
