Sun: Just two spots. NOAA forecasters say there is a chance of G1-class geomagnetic storms today, July 13th, when Earth enters a fast moving stream of solar wind. The gaseous material is flowing from an equatorial hole in the sun's atmosphere. (spaceweather.com)
So the Euro footy is over and England lose on penalties. How any professional soccer player, paid oodles of money a week can miss a penalty I don’t understand. Poor show. There is more so called cricket and another game that people play with a variety of sticks, a white ball and a hole in some grass
