  1. From January 1994 to March 1995, cosmonaut-physician Valeri Polyakov spent 437 consecutive days aboard Mir, circling Earth 7,075 times and travelling nearly 187 million miles to test whether a human could endure a Mars-length mission—and more than three decades later, no one has broken his record for a single continuous spaceflight.

  2. I hate to admit this, but I may be responsible for the unseasonably mild winter so far in Montana. I've kept my snowbrush too handy in my car, and now the snow is staying away. I'll have your weather forecast tonight!

  3. Blue bedsheets, a green sweatshirt, and an orange cat. Shylo is comfy and warm as she snuggles under my arm while it's a snowy 8° outside on a Montana Sunday morning.

  4. #January 7, 1776
    #OTD Spencer Turner, Leyton #Nurseryman, died.

    Spencer created the Turner's #Oak & gifted one to Princess Augusta for #Kew Gardens.

    Planted in the1770's, the #Tree still stands w/ metal struts for support betw/ the PoW Conservatory & the Hive.

    The Great Storm (1987) lifted the tree out of the #Earth, freed the #RootPlate from centuries of #Compacted #Soil, & inspired #Arborists to rethink compaction.
    They now use air spades to inject #Nitrogen & #Mycorrhizal #Fungi.

  5. #January 2, 1735
    #OTD Carl #Linnaeus, the Father of Taxonomy, visits Sara Lisa #Morraea, in full #Lapp #Costume.

    By the end of January, his friends bet #Bottles of #Wine that a #Baptism was in Carl's future - though #Babies would have to wait.

    Sara Lisa's #Docter #Father told Carl to get established before the #Marriage. He did.
    Carl & Sara Lisa married in the summer of 1739.

    14 years later, Linnaeus' #Masterpiece #SpeciesPlantarum changed #Plant #Taxonomy #Forever.
