Yum...

I wanted to write a quick post about a food that I have really started to enjoy.. AVOCADOS! What a fantastic food. It was not long ago when I did not even know what they were, but now I eat one a week if I can. Not only do they taste good, but they are good for you! If you haven't checked out all the avacado can offer.. GO TO IT! That is my random post of the month.

Return To Flight

Return to Flight is a task group put together for an independent assessment of NASA's readiness to get the Space Shuttle back into the air. After the tragic Columbia Accident on February 1, 2003 an investigation took place to determine the cause. Which was found to be a faulty piece of the heat shield lining the bottom of the shuttle to protect it from uber high heat during reentry. If you are interested in the subject check out Return to Flight for the latest news. Also, surf over to Nasa's site for highlights from the task force. I'm looking forward to the next launch, and would like to see it in person... Enjoy!

Talk About Fireworks...

A space probe designed by the University of Maryland named Deep Impact. Will crash into a comet on July 4th, and if conditions are right the impact could be visible from Earth.

"Deep Impact, launched Jan. 12, has two parts, an "impactor" that will be released to collide with Tempel 1, possibly creating a stadium-size gouge, and a fly-by craft with instruments to observe the collision." - space.com

I'm looking forward to this, and crossing my fingers for no cloud cover on the 4th!

Oops...

What you are looking at is not a fake photo. On the 17th hole of a golf course that will remain nameless this event that could have been a lost worse happened. You might be wondering how could something like this happen? The answer to that is unknown. You might be wondering was I aiming at him? The answer to that is no... If I was aiming at him it would have gone 200 yards in the opposite direction. I was aiming at the green which was not even close to were he was standing, and did I mention where he was standing? Directly behind a row of trees, and stepping into a golf cart. The small devil ball flew threw the the trees and into the golf cart striking him square in the back. Lucky for me he has some muscle back there or a rib could have been broken.

In all seriousness it was quite scary. I make light out of it now, but I was scared like hell when it happened. Sorry bro... You can get me "back" (no pun intended) when we go golfing again in a year!
