great day!

Something I wanna do here and there is to express my opinion on the days news. I don't wanna do it alot, but today there was a lot. So here I go...

So a lot has happened in the world today. First of all, NASA had some good and bad news. First with the bad, Shuttle Atlantis, which was supposed to take off in 2 weeks, took moderate damage from a hail storm yesturday. It will not launch in March but maybe in april or May. Atlantis has to go back to the assembly building to be fixed. a new launch date has not been chosen. The damage can be seen at NASA.gov .

---------now the good news. New Horizons is now just 4 hours and 45 mins from its closest approach to Jupiter. Thats 1,448,420 Miles. Amazing images are coming in at the link posted below.

Images of Jupiter and its moons can be seen here : Http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/gallery/missionPhotos.html

---the next new thing is a fall in the DOW. It fell 400 points at the end of the day. It was up from its 600 point drop in the entire day. I personally don't think it will last.

---Unsuprisingly, the taliban tried to bomb Dick Cheney. The only thing i have to say is, why didnt he get out his gun and shoot them? lol

---The last thing in the global news is Max Mayfields trouble with the law. I don't really wanna make the former NHC director look bad so i'm just gonna tell you the story. He caught a really big Goliath Grouper and pulled it into the boat to get the hook out and is now in hot water for doing so. In florida it is illegal to pull a Goliath Grouper into your boat. I think this is simply outrageous. I am a environmentalist and all but why cant a guy pull a hook out of a fish he caught and let it go?

Now to my life

Today it was like a summer day. We made it to 81 with some rain early in the day but nothing substantial. I'll let you go with a picture I took this eveningof the moon and a plane while i was "doing homework" as the sun was setting. At this time I counted 8 planes in the air.
