Just something I read in a 1440 newsletter. Maybe they meant a breathable oxygen atmosphere? Don't recall.

Astronomers or astronauts (whichever one does this kind of thing) say they've discovered another place in the known universe with oxygen. Yep, you guessed it...at the farthest point from earth on the other side of the universe.

Literally every planet in the solar system (maybe not mercury?) and every galaxy in the universe has oxygen. Am I missing the joke?

Paul’s all good. Got a text reply from him about 4:30am.

Thanks for checking on me, my phones woke me up with all the alerts, I checked the radar and the local weather folks telling everyone to take cover, it appeared to me to be tracking a mile or two south of the house so I said a prayer rolled over and went back to sleep, I didn't see Bob's message till I woke up. Columbia has downed trees and storm damage a couple miles south of me.
