Eat them. I heard they're good for you. Hehe... Would ask for some if we were neighbors.

Put them in a cool dark place and they'll keep for ages. It wouldn't take my lot too long to go through those.

Inflatable is pretty much an optimistic synonym for deflatable. Just sayin.

I wonder if the inside of the happy bubble used to be painted with a night sky full of stars like a planetarium...

I've done a bit of criticizing of NYC's housing the Enterprise. Maybe I should give it a rest. But I won't. That structure is terrible. It's so tight and confining, you can't see a thing. They presumably have some sort of platform near the nose where you can stand and take a picture similar to that one, but other than that, all you can do it look at the belly of the shuttle.

Compare that to the Udvar Hazy Air and Space Museum in Dulles where you can get long views of the shuttle and similar viewing platform views.

Everybody's seen a million pictures of it, the purpose of putting it on display is so you can see it up close and personal, not gaze from afar. I'm sure the close quarters wouldn't seem confining to city people, they live with it.

The NYC museum started with the aircraft carrier, then expanded along a logical progression to include aircraft. Some carrier based, but also others including the Concorde and Shuttle.

The Udvar Hazy started with an airport... land. A short commodity in NYC.

Hey - did I tell you guys about the African woman who was arrested for turning people into yams?


When I saw the yam picture waaaay long posts ago, I thought of it. Glatt- those could be PEOPLE you're planning on boiling and eating!!!!

My friend in England is taunting me by emailing me pictures from his iPhone.

He just sent this one. It's quitting time there already. Bastard.

I want to sit in a pub by a fire drinking a London Pride.

My parents in China are taunting me be sending me pictures from their iPod. This was in my in-box this morning. Bastards.

Hi, Mom!

I don't really want to be on a cliff in China, as much as I want to sit by a fire in a pub, but I still have envy.

I know. I'll make them envious by emailing them a picture of me at work.

That will show them.
