...if you don't have ten minutes, but I would try to find it, it's fairly interesting the rest of the time...




I have this feeling if we ever were to get interstellar travel, we'd have to stop when we entered each solar system and hear "Loading, please wait"

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


Neat, Wish. The thing about the sky makes me sad; sleeping outdoors I've been real aware of it. What I used to be able to see, even this close to the City, was beautiful. Now I think in terms of "yeah, stars, 'dozens and dozens' of 'em...sigh..." I know that even when I go up to the Sierras and marvel at the night sky, there was a lot more to see when I went up there forty years ago. It's very sad.

Mind blown now. Thanks.

I remember seeing the Milky Way for the first time w/ my naked eye, out in the Caribbean. It was breathtaking. Need to go back, now that I think of it.

Sad that folks called to report 'strange lights in the sky ' when the power went out in LA. I'd like to think that, soon, we can develop and USE light systems that don't flood the sky w/ so much light pollution. Seems like a simple and reasonable thing to do, right ?

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

Thanks for that image...

You know what's sad? Next year me and the ol' man will be married 15 years. We've yet to have a decent vacation to anywhere even remotely fun. Day trips is all my generation gets, and some don't get to do THAT.
Least we got married in Vegas, I guess that's somethin'...

Oh, yeah... I see my mental typo... I meant naked EYE, out in the Caribbean. Not..well, never mind. Get yourself to St. Somewhere, and check out the skies, if ya get a chance.

Been to Vegas twice. Wish I'd have gone when I was younger, but I suppose I'd have done some real damage. Fun place, though. Something is always goin' on there.
