  1. Your clue for tomorrow's post is a mystery to me. But I did recognize Sag A. In fact I had a lengthy conversation about the black hole yesterday AND met a new kitty with that name.

  2. I got the Black Hole

    I) Even the interest rate didn't climb like that. I still think part of the climb is due to the advanced rate of the minimum wage.

  3. In Australia we have a similar climb and interest rates are being pushed up by our reserve bank and mortgage replayments and rent increases are causing great stress
