Michael, The Japanese satellite Kaguya, now in lunar orbit, as we speak is taking high-resolution shots of the earth (see attachment). The scuttlebutt is that Kaguya will proceed to take time-lapse pictures of Earth, showing its rotation and its phases from new to first quarter to full to 3rd quarter and back to new. Perhaps […]
This morning was something. A little snow lay on the ground. The sun floated in a clear blue sky. The sea was blue, and blue-green, as far as the eye could see. Scarcely a ripple. Calm. I dressed and went for a walk — determined not to return until I took in what Nature had […]
*********** I don’t know what happened to my sidebar website links, but don’t forget about this one and this one. ************ I can’t help it. I like this version and I love this one at about 2:57 of the vid. ************* Matt comes home tomorrow!

The day my father died I wasn’t in K-Mart. I could have been. The last two years I’ve wandered the aisles buying short sleeved madras style shirts and denim jeans, and just like the madras shirts I bought in 1968, my new shirts are not wrinkle free. Though I bought so many, I don’t felt […]
One more more stone skipping video. This guy claims to throw harder than most, but it sure doesn’t look like it.
Michael,Beth and I had been reading in the local papers about Elk bugling during the on-going mating season, so we decided to drive up to Rocky Mountain National Park and hear the bugling for ourselves. When I flashed my geezer pass at the entrance gate, I asked the ranger there, where is a good place […]
Rakkity emailed this to me today. Some might find it cute, but as one who has waged full scale assaults on those critters, all I can think of is where did I put my rifle. You might want to turn your sound off. The background music will Velcro itself to your gray matter.
