| The first two images are of American astronaut Don Petit and the third is a Russian cosmonaut. If you're wondering why they look half dead it is because they just spent a little over six months in low earth orbit in the IS. Their bones will never fully recover the density they lost, their hearts may never fully recover from the atrophy suffered and it will take weeks of therapy to repair skeletal muscle atrophy suffered after working out for 2.5 hours a day while in space. |
- Secrets
- At Gibson's in Weatherford they have a waiting list for sporting rifles, ammo and high capacity mags. There are well over 100 names on each list.
- Sad Kevin will be sad if he doesn't get his weapon of mass fun.
- When I'm about to buy something in a store I always pick up others of the same article on display and check prices to see if any marked prices are lower.
- People today are voicing concerns over privacy issues when it comes to the idea of government agencies surveilling them with drones. Sooner rather than later drones will clock the speed of our cars and send a video to a cop behind a desk who will review it and hit send causing a ticket to be mailed to the home associated with the vehicles registration.
- Had the new bacon wrapped filet with grilled scrimps and a sweet potato and mushrooms on the side for a late lunch at Logan's today (01/01/2013). Verdict: tumultuous.
- I don't really care for donuts at all and hardly ever buy them.
- I want to try one of those new home soda machines.
- A song I really dislike and in fact come dangerously close to hating has been playing in a loop in my brain for the past hour.

About the speeding tickets...
I was thinking about that a few weeks ago when my GPS was informing me of what the speed limit was compared to what i was going.
If THAT is possible, they could simply debit my checking account every time a GPS unit on my car sensed me going over the speed limit.
There is so much room for "progress" when it comes to destroying privacy!
Oh, and the thing about the bones is why i never became an astronaut.
If it wasn't for that, i would tried harder in school!
Hey Kate- The saddest thing is your idea will be viewed as prescient in only a few years.
It was time for me to give up when I learned the astronauts were from coming from Science Club for Dweebs and NASA was no longer accepting guys from The Club of Bourbon For Breakfast, Skirt Chasing Fighter Jock Test Pilot Good Ole Boys Club- For Men.
Love the Gibson's.
In '77-78 when I was in high school, I worked at the one in Grand Prairie.
Then Wal-Mart came along...
Actually, I read some SEC filings or depositions from way back a couple of years ago. Apparently the Gibson's buying group got nabbed for some restrictive trade practice issues with their franchisees.
I still enjoy going in that W'ford store, though - it's like going back in time 35-40 years.
