And she had recently put this piece on display at the plant store, calling it &#8220;Moonscape.&#8221;  Coincidentally, the Artimus moon mission had just recently returned.  I have gone on record, often, during the campaigning, saying that as president, we would get no closer to the moon than looking at it through a telescope, or looking at it through, well, this moonscape terrarium glass. LOL (Lots Of Lunar). The money spent on these NASA moon missions, and beyond, would be much better spent funding projects to help the poor, to help the environment, etc., on <em>this<\/em> planet.  Besides, if God, say, wanted us on the moon, he would have provided oxygen, a lot more gravity, and soil to grow plants, etc.  Common sense&#8230; I also interviewed a local couple who have, a number of times, taken in exchange students from all over the world.  Most recently, they were hosting students from Japan.  They said they believed the way to bring the people of the world closer together, is to, literally, bring them closer together, proximity wise. Our &#8220;U.S. Department of Peace&#8221; paradigm is filled with initiatives to bring the world at large, and withing our country as well, closer together.  *<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteforjoe.com\/us-dept-of-peace\">See&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Moon&#8221; terrarium I recently interviewed a woman at the local plant store who bills herself as a &#8220;plant artist.&#8221; She&#8217;s a retired college professor who took this up in retirement.
