Check out www.wechoosethemoon.org for streaming audio to experience the Apollo 11 mission as we did way back when. Unlike today's missions, we didn't have helmet cams and crisp video of EVAs. Those iconic photos weren't part of our culture until after the boys came home. All we had was crackly audio and ghostly black and white images. Apollo XII ( Read more... )

Endeavour's launch is scrubbed again. It's a break day on the Tour de France. They started ripping up our street this morning and will be working on it through September. We need rain. My hip pain has gone, but my knee pain is back. We've lost two more staff members at the 'berry.

I am getting lots of miles on the bike with the dry conditions. I ( Read more... )

It was finally a good day to ride on my day off. I put 35 miles on the bike, which takes me past 2,000 miles in under a year on the hybrid. I haven't run the numbers to see how many miles I've put on the mountain bike in the same time period. Now I working at putting miles on for year two. The replay of today's stage of le Tour de France is on ( Read more... )

We had a quiet day at the Uncles. The stress levels I have at the 'berry are nonexistent at the bookstore. I spent more than I made, but hey I got more books to bring home. I got my copy of Alan Bean's Painting Apollo. I already have most of these from his earlier book, but I'm always happy to get new Apollo materials.

We just had the third driest May on record, so folks around here are very happy to have a nice day long rain today. I got a bit soggy riding to work and back from the bookstore, but totally worth it. I've never seen the creeks so dry around here. Every day on my walks at the 'berry I can see more creek bed and less water. I came across two large ( Read more... )

I got my hands on a copy of the newest book from blackaire  tonight. It's a new series, Black London, and the first volume is Street Magic. I'm a big fan of her Nocturne City series, so I'm really excited to see what she's up to with the new book. Swing by your local book selling establishment and purchase yourself a copy. You'll be glad you did.

We really need rain in these parts. We're getting teased again tonight, but it's doubtful we'll get more than a thimble full of moisture tonight. I noticed dry creek beds on Shingle Creek and Minnehaha Creek, while out on the bike. We need rain, but all we get is wind. I've been out of the trails for ten days straight now averaging close to thirty ( Read more... )
