Ep. 614 - GMMB Wednesday 23 July 2025

In good news animals figured prominently. We first heard of two ladies who gave a foal a ride in a canoe, then a cat that accompanied a ten year old boy to school, achieving a perfect attendance record. Jaime Smith introduced us to maitre d butter. We discussed coconut water and coconut meat and even putting coconuts on a fire. He named the fifth flavor, added to the traditional salty, sweet, sour and bitter. That is umami. Cosmic Joe Jordan of Dark Sky Santa Cruz joined us in the studio. He told us we can look forward to a new crescent moon tomorrow, a meteor shower soon, and even a recurrent nova. TCORBOR goes off once every 80 years, and is due any time now. It is a bit overdue.
