Burnt Watermelon

Earlier today I checked the update of the James Webb telescope. It is two thirds of the way to Lagrange 2 orbit, unfolded and traveling at 400 meters a second. It will arrive at L2 during the last third of this month. They were unfolding the thing while it was still traveling because they want to 'hit the ground running'.  That thing is extremely expensive and it's mission will only last about 10 years or slightly more than that. In the nasa blogs it states they have a very long bucket list; they want to look at a lot of stuff. I'm guessing they will try to look directly at the planets that are orbiting the nearest stars and distant galaxies. An ordinary man like myself will learn some new things soon if it is working; if it doesn't work then they can't fix it because the astronauts will die before they get there, they would likely be hit by solar flare particles.  

I tried something new today, I tried to shallow fry slices of watermelon. The watermelon quickly formed a skin and burnt on the outside. The smoke from the burnt Watermelon filled the kitchen and sitting room. I got the hang of it in the end, you have to turn the heat very low. Fried watermelon has no taste at all but you can put salt and spices on it to make it taste like fake  beef steaks. Now I am wondering what would happen if I put the watermelon slices in a toaster. My jokes are very dry but I filled my home with a funny smell of burnt Watermelon.
