Buffalo Sabres - Maybe Next Year

Well the Sabres just lost round 1 of the NHL Hockey playoffs. I was hoping they would make a big comeback, but maybe next year will be better.

Time to break out the golf clubs I guess...

Earth Day 2010

HAPPY EARTH DAY! Wikipedia has a cool write-up on the Earth and since today is Earth Day - I think we can all spend a few minutes today learning, or re-learning, neat things about the Earth. Life has been on Earth for billions of years but human civilization has been around for only a few thousand. That's like the blink of an eye!

Enjoy.

Oh, the picture of the Earth above is from one of the Appolo missions back in the day.

Pictures From NASA

Well, here are some pictures from NASA. The above picture: the Sun, up close and personal.

Above: someplace far away where stars are born, not Hollywood.

Spiral galaxy.

And here is a picture of that volcano that is cancelling flights around large parts of Europe. This is the only picture from here on Earth. There's a joke going around Iceland (or so I've heard) that says England asked for some money that Iceland owes England. The English said "Give us some cash" and because Iceland's language doesn't have a 'C' in it, they said - "OK, we'll send you some ash".

First Tomato Sprouts Of The Season

Well, spring is really here. See above for the "First Tomato Sprouts Of The Season".

They are a Beefsteak type of tomato from seed I saved in 2003 from one of my home grown tomatoes. I also have several other tomato types and peppers, scallions, and cantelopes that are planted but not yet sprouting.

They Found Water On The Moon!

Well, I heard they found water on the moon. They, meaning NASA. I thought the moon was a barren piece of rock orbiting around our lovely planet Earth. Why, with water on the moon, it might mean life. So let's get excited. After all, water on the moon means great things.





So here is a picture that represents an advance forward in space exploration.

Apparently the original astronaughts did not drink from this mighty water fountain because their gloves were too big to let them push the button that says "push here" and they could not drink from the mighty fountain of moon youth. Too bad.

Well that means there will be more water there for me when my ship arrives.

Happy belated April Fools' day. I waited until now because I cannot fool anyone until several days after Apr 1st because everyone is too alert for that kind of thing.
