Oh come on Bernie... where's your sense of adventure?? Keira wanted to go outside and play in the snow the other day... it was a whopping 4 degrees outside at the time. I suggested she wait til later in the day when the temp climbed another couple degrees or so, but no, she wanted to go. Actually, i...

I agree... we've already had an influx of new businesses and people escaping from the last round of California's stupidity... The problem is, a lot of them bring the same sort of twisted mindset with them that makes California such an insane asylum, and then want to spread that mindset of overcontro...

Not yet we were on the road and haven't had time. Now that we're in N. IN, it's too cold (currently well below zero) and the roads aren't exactly great up here either. Supposed to warm up somewhat over the next day or two more towards "normal" for them (still below freezing, however). Anyw...

I recently read an article written YEARS (if not decades) ago by Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders... it was a VERY interesting expose on the decisions about what kind of shuttle program we would end up with. It also discussed Bill Anders' reasons for dropping out of the flight rotation and leaving NAS...

I agree... The worst thing that ever happened to NASA was all this "Mission to Planet Earth" nonsense (which we can mostly "thank" Sally Ride for... she proposed it as a way for NASA to continue to do "science" missions "on the cheap"-- it's cheaper and easier...
