What I find most disturbing about Valentine's Day is, look, I get that you have to have a holiday of love, but in the height of flu season, it makes no sense.

We are within 30 miles or so from SpaceX and this is Starhopper a test vehicle for the eventual use in Elon Musks plan to populate Mars and carry supplies into space.
It can carry about 100 people into space...,,,for a price
So, after driving thru about 20 miles of this
we arrive at SpaceX
Such a simple sign attached to chain link fence. Shouldn't there be flashing lights and maybe marching music here? Its so much more amazing and available for the humble masses like me than ....say.....Harry's Diner. .... or ... Share the Road signs
They are putting the rings together and then it will be loaded on the top when assembling the rocket...
Riveting work...sorry...bad pun...Im a sucker for them.
I am putting these pictures in to show the wildlife refuge and undeveloped land on one side of the road and the high tech spaceship construction on the other.
So far the road is open to public if one is willing to make the trip. The road is closed however when testing.
And then there is the whole question of what will happen to the people who live in Boca Chica village just a ways down the road when the road is closed. Musk has tried to buy the houses at three times the value and with several perks thrown in, but it was a limited time offer and as far as I can tell, the homeowners are not selling.
So the reason for all this on Valentine's day is no matter what you love, may it bigger than life dreams like populating the moon or more ordinary things that entertain you like this yard with a centilllion birdhouses
or whatever these dolls hanging off telephone poles are, don't let anyone talk you out of pursuing your passion
Altho I can't imagine someone waking up in the morning and saying, I think I will put potted plants in children's minicars and line the driveway with them, I admire that they did it.
Hoping Valentines Day was sweet and chocolately
