Also here is a very bad video of the transcendental experience of totality during the solar eclipse yesterday in Kingston, ON. I really wish my phone camera was better
To summarize what happened April 13, 2024 into April 14, 2024:

And also posted by Naija_PR on Twitter, at 9:51 AM April 14, 2024, and another dozen Twitter users with the exact same message,
Of the 331 missiles and drones launched by Iran at Israel
185 out of 185 kamikaze drones were shot down
103 out of 110 ballistic missiles were shot down
36 out of 36 cruise missiles were shot down
So approximately 7 ballistic missile impacts have been recorded as striking Israel. That said, I don’t see any death count at the moment, and the only injuries I’ve seen were about the child in serious condition. That no one died is something to be thankful for.
That said, the Israeli cabinet is debating a response or the Iranian attack, an attack that seemed to minimize any sort of casualties while emphasizing a show of force. If Israel responds with a greater show of force, I’m concerned about a brutal war. If Israel doesn’t respond in kind, then their leaders may be seen as weak.
So this likely all comes down to a matter of pride.
Let’s pray, and then acknowledging that social media posts don’t account for much of anything, look for reputable charities that will do good work in the area.
Work this week just kicked my ass and left me exhausted. Yesterday was a short Friday, done before noon, so I went to my parents farmhouse and did some fieldwork for them. Got home at 3 took a nap until 6 and was in bed by 9.
Today I woke up around 10 and felt really groggy and downright not well. Fell asleep for about three hours and woke up finally feeling refreshed.
That's the most annoying thing about my job, some weeks it leaves me so exhausted it takes me the entire weekend to rest. By Sunday I'm back to normal but don't have time to do anything.
