There are tons of images at the NASA Image Gallery, but the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day site, linked in the sidebar, has got to be one of the best collections ever. I recommend visiting the Archive page first. You’ll go nuts. There are also pictures of terrestrial weather phenomena included that will have [...]

Our friend and landlord has died. Here one moment, gone the next. He wasn’t doing very well, to say the least — first the hospital, then a fiercely-resisted nursing home stay — but no one expected him to go so soon. He was so determined to come home. He hated it in the hospital and [...]

Er, yes. That’s the government’s suggestion for solving global warming. From an article in the Sydney Morning Herald. There’s a whole lot more, but isn’t this enough? The US wants the world’s scientists to develop technology to block sunlight as a last-ditch way to halt global warming. It says research into techniques such as giant [...]

For some of us raised without a warranty, the hardest trick in a relationship is not hanging a mirror on the other and aiming a spotlight at it. Needless to say, besides being hard on your eyes, it’s a lot of work carrying all that equipment around. One would rather write a symphony, if you [...]

Oh my God. if the title of this post means nothing to you, you absolutely must go Google up some information. I knew nothing of the handcart companies until I watched a stirring documentary this evening on PBS about the Sweetwater Rescue (maybe you did too). Now I simply have to read more, and soon, [...]

Doesn’t even feel cold w/o any wind! When my honey rolled out of bed at 6:00 a.m., it was minus 13 Fahrenheit. That’s a record for this date, coming only a couple of days after a record high for the same period. That’s our little backyard “patio” and a bit of the landlord’s apartment to [...]

All I can tell you is, if you want to see antelope, take the U.S. 64 shortcut from Raton to Cimarron. No, I don’t have a picture, but them’s the breaks. We were driving along past vast expanses of tall dry grass — it was a very wet summer, remember — and I said, “Man, [...]

This just came to my attention via a Russian blog called EnglishRussia.com. Want to see mind-blowing color photographs from Czarist Russia? Try this Library of Congress site. The photos are by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, who created the color images by making multiple photographs through colored filters and combining the images, a procedure made much easier [...]

Believe it or not, that moldering bones post two steps below gave me a big lift going into the morning. The writing of it too, especially (that I allowed it). Part of me is always down in the hold, oiling the anchor chains and wiping them shiny in the dim, damp dark. Why deny it? [...]

Hard to say in just a few words what SpaceandMotion.com (“The Dynamic Unity of Reality”) is all about, but the wave structure of matter (WSM) is central to it all. The authors call it a “philosophy/physics/metaphysics” site, but that doesn’t do it justice. Suffice it to say that a little exploring here would expose some [...]
