A view of a post-sunset horizon, with the sky mostly dark and just an orange line along the horizon, with bright Venus visible. There's also a campfire visible in the dark horizon.

   Had a nice weekend focused on small things I can actually make better. Picked the last of the carrots, fed lots of carrots, old apples, and pumpkins to the animals, had an evening out stargazing with friends.

   Of course, there were a truly stunning number of satellites - I saw THREE Starlink trains, and I'm not even sure how to quantify how ridiculously many sats there were - way more than 10% of visible stars close to zenith (which was my horrifying prediction from a few years ago. Fuck.)
