Cleaning out the Inbox

       I keep attempting to catch up with the inbox and try to write about my most recent trip but I keep running in place!  

Pluto's "heart" (now named Sputnik Planitia)  was most likely caused by a giant impact but the interesting unanswered question is this- Could the item that slammed into Pluto still be on the planet covered under its nitrogen ice? 

Sky and Telescope discuss the matter here. 

Washingtonian writes of the closing of the Crystal City Underground mall which will occur in October.

Dubbed the DC Area's strangest mall since its opening in 1976, Crystal City is literally underground (technically street level) in Arlington, Virginia, and catered to office workers and commuters going through Crystal City to get somewhere elsewhere.

The Athletic writes about the conditions at the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium which were anything but pristine.

The article discusses the paper-thin clubhouse walls that fans could see the players through, the tiny clubhouse that wasn't capable of holding the entire team after September callups, the awful post-game food spread, and the only batting cage in the entire facility.

Three Down Nation notes that CTV (Canadian Television) will return to televising the CFL later in the season (the CFL season has currently started) on Saturdays along with playoff action.

CTV is the largest Canadian network and last televised the Canadian Football League in 1986 when it shared the league's television rights with CBC.

KETV writes of the discovery of a pet donkey, who had been missing for five years in California, has been discovered by a video taken by a hunter in the area.

Diesel ran away from his owners near Sacramento in 2019 and hadn't been seen since until spotted on a video but the catch?

It appears Diesel is the leader of a pack of elk, which is a surprise to me until you discover that donkeys often protect livestock and it would make sense that a wild donkey could fill the role of protector with a pack of any animal.

Fox Business wraps this edition with word of Build-A-Bear and their recent offering of West Virginia's Mothman having sold out almost instantly and is currently unavailable.

The Mothman was the topic of the 2002 film "The Mothman Prophecies" and was visited by me and my friends on a 2017 Road Trip.
