NASA Announcement Monday - 2010

Nasa has announced they have found something exceptional and will have an international media event on Monday to discuss it. The three experts who will answer questions are all astrophysicists who work on gamma rays. Should be interesting.

Stuff to do today

I have to take care of some things today, I may not post. Having said that, there is a great article on a town being attacked by turkeys. I love animal stories.

Houses

I have to look at a house for someone. There is serious talk in Washington about getting rid of the deduction for owning a house. If this occurs housing prices will drop. We are moving into a paradigm where home ownership, ownership of anything is a disadvantage. I fact, my mortgage processor told me that they have a program where they take back your house and rent it to you.

During the "Great Depression" the Rockefellers bought homes, took over the loans, and rented to the previous owners. I guess this depression isn't great but it is following the same pattern. People need to learn from history.

The next thing to go will be the tax deduction that is given to married people. I don't find that many people who believe in marriage anymore. By the way, I still do. Gotta go see a house, have a great day.

A Lovely Comment

I had posted to someone else's blog. A simple thing. I posted anonymously. They thanked me. It can matter. I had worried that my words did not fit my feelings, that they might be misread. They were not. Often my words are. I don't talk like other people, I talk like me.

It was nice to be recognized for my comment. It was nice to know that it helped. I did not leave my blogs address, I never do. My blog is not publicized, not monetized, not anything. At best it is a restroom stop in the desert. How nice. I have restroom named after me. I do. It has a plaque that only five people will see. Be well.

It's a Bird

So today we have all sorts of silly explanations regarding the missile that left California. One article says that a blogger has figured out that it was a plane and even says which plane it was. Problem is that the plane he mentions was flying to Los Angeles from Asia. Problem is that the trail isn't headed to LAX.

Oh, another problem. Both NORAD and the local radar stations were asked what it was and both denied ANYTHING being in the area. Wouldn't they have noticed a regularly scheduled plane, why did it take two days?

Now take a peak at this article on San Nicolas Island. It is in the right location and has experience sending off missiles.

Also consider that the media talked to a famous scientist who said that missiles leave straight trails. Yet, here is a picture of what was seen next to a photo of a missile launch. Neither is straight.

I really didn't want to right about the missile, I am more interested in the lie. This is like the garbage about the Norway spiral, we were told that was a missile. I grew up around aerospace, I live next to Skunk Works and Edwards Air Force Base, my family has worked in aerospace and some still do. I watched rockets being tested as a child.

I don't care why a missile or rocket was launched. I am more surprised by the lies. We are supposed to believe that a helicopter pilot doesn't know what a frickin plane contrail looks like. The Norway spiral occurred just before Obama got the peace prize in Norway. This missile goes off on the eve of the G20 in KOREA. An old political science teaching, diplomacy is war by other means.

I Don't Like to Post on the Obvious

On Monday a missile, a rocket took off from California. CBS posted a video of the rocket taking off. The United States Government says it is not one of ours; but, NORAD said it was nothing to be worried about though they claimed not to know what it was. Huh?

A fricking rocket took off from the California coast and NORAD says they don't know what it is; but, they are sure it is not a problem. Does anybody believe that? Consider this, the Chinese and the Russians know it was, they have satellites too. The only people who don't know what we sent up is our own citizens. Is this a good thing?

Area 51 is real, I know people that have worked there. You can go there, well almost. The Russians, English, French, Chinese and others have satellites, they know it is there. Our government refuses to admit it exists TO US. Isn't that odd? Why can't we know what our enemies know? Just a question.

Two Items

Firstly, someone has posted a comment and I have not approved. Nothing wrong with the comment; but, I don't use people's real names including my own. I do not wish anyone to know who my ex is, some of the readers do; but, they also know what happened.

Second item. I read a post on someone else's blog. The person had just lost their dog and was upset with their ex-wife who wouldn't give them the dog's records nor showed any sympathy. I regret to say that these things happen. I recommended that the person not look to their ex-wife for emotional support.

We lose people in different ways. Some die and some leave. Once divorced, we have to get used to the new routine, it can take awhile. There are times when something happens and my reaction is to call one of my parents; but, they are gone.

I saw a woman today, she looked like my ex-wife. I couldn't be sure if it was her. It is a strange feeling, to not be sure. In the end it didn't really matter, I just didn't care that much. If it had been her I would not have anything to say, there is nothing left to say. That part of my life, that relationship is over.

It takes awhile to stop old habits but it happens. I would be stunned if my ex-wife looked to me for emotional support. I wouldn't know how to provide it to her anymore. The best I could wish her is that she could find someone who could provide it to her. She wasn't there for me and I have nothing left to give her. That is what happens when you divorce.

Funny thing, my ex-wife honestly believed that someday we could be friends. Friends don't cheat on each other. She thought someday we could sit around, have coffee together and discuss whatever. I have nothing to say to her now and probably never will. Moving on means sharing our experiences with people who do care and are involved in the outcome. It mean sound cold, to not talk to an ex partner about an animal that the two of you shared; but, it's just the way it is.
