    Low tech is what the greats used :) I have a friend with a big telescope and he showed me mountains on the moon once, they were wondrous strange and breathtakingly unforgettable. We live in the heart of a big city, ironically just around the corner from an old Observatory, so only get to see a few stars occasionally cos of the traffic haze :)

    Yeah, light pollution is tough for star gazing. When I moved out of Fall River to where I live now, I saw a big difference. The nearest mall is one mile away. In the other direction there is farmland. There's woods and a pond across the street. Even though there's a street light directly across from my driveway, I can still look up and see more than I could in Fall River.

    I will never forget the first time I clearly saw the Milky Way while camping high up in the Rocky Mountains. Couldn't believe the number of stars in the sky! I now live in low lying coastal mountains and can't even see half or a quarter of the stars I saw then, let alone the Milky Way.

    Meanwhile Russia got closer to space then was comfortable this morning and I'm waiting for the big rock to fly by today.

    Edit: More on Russian meteor.

    Those all look rather painful! The second one looks like she can fly and he's the rudder...look at the way he's grasping his pants, like pulling them upward like that will lift them out of the dive! :shut:

    i cantz remember which book exacally it was in,
    but to fly, it says to throw yourself at the ground and forget to hit it. :roll:

    Maybe that would work...I forget things all the time lately! :-P

    I experienced the same many times when on vacation in New Hampshire. There's a spot on the Kankamagus Road (Rt. 112) called the Pemi Overlook. We'd stop there and look up. I have a pair of 7 x 50 binoculars. It's amazing!!! It's like a blanket of sparklies!

    Well I was sleep walking, sleep talking on phone and sleep text messages.
    Also my mouth has been very dry. I am having problems with coughing and my vision is blurred when it comes to reading.

    Hmmm, Murphy’s law, I received such a hartwarming compliment 2 days ago.

    This girl, who's been a boy and girl at the same time, who has been raised as a girl, till she found out she also was a boy, till an operation turned him/her in a her, which left her with the opinion that boys are stupid and unbearably ugly, decided that she only liked girls, and became an aggressive lesbian, met me around 15 years ago, and instantly fell in love with me and told that I was the first beautiful guy she ever met, so by now she has become bisexual, and explained to me the opposite from Murphy’s law, Marcus law (Marcus is my first name, Salvatore my second), anything good that can happen, will happen,, I felt appropriately flattered. :lol:

    Wow! That was quite a compliment.

    Dana


    i cantz remember which book exacally it was in,
    but to fly, it says to throw yourself at the ground and forget to hit it. :roll:
    One of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books... where Arthur Dent was trapped by himself on some small unremarkable planet somewhere, and learnt how to fly (by forgetting to hit the ground), and talk to the birds (they had very little interesting to say). This happened somewhere in the first few chapters (`.`)... google would probably tell you which book it was. Or, you could crack open your copy of Hitchhikers and enjoy all over again (^_^).
    Life, The Universe And Everything. (Book 3 of the 5 book trilogy)
    Arthur Dent actually learns to fly by throwing himself at the ground and missing. :)
    I've got to read those again. (And yes, I googled it, my memory isn't that good)

    I see...I suspected as much. I've never actually read it. I saw a little bit of the movie. I know, it's not the same. It never is.

    Complaint #1: Sleep fails all over. I just fail to sleep like a decent human being.

    Complaint #2: My right shoulder has decided that it wants to be broken again, instead of being mostly healed like it used to be for like half a year.

    Complaint #3: Uh... TMI.

    Complaint #4: I need to find my rendering wind.
