First things ...Ian brought up the MIR , and I just remember R0MIR-7
and of course, well yeah ...nothing fancy here for getting to the
latest effort in orbiting future space junk.

Nah ... I say Bob's words for this are "WHO CARES !!!!"
The frogs you might get to go there, but Bob's talking dog has
them ov'r at the local fo a brew and the dingo is singing...
so no Bob is not worried over the frogs.

Hippes? They are still there, trying to figure out how much
more they can squeeze outta the US taxpayers.

Was that the one where the hoax was it landed in some dinky place
in CANADA and ...hmmm ... well it did go "plop" in the ocean and
that was that ...and how is one to make news outta that...I still
wanna see Bill O'Reilly on the VIEW TV show and see Whoopeee whats
her name and maybe all of them walk off....that will be a real show
for the news...We need that...well better then the trash they have
on TV now.

For the GREENIES ... local rag, now has a resident getting in knots
over his neighbour and his solar cell array. I gotta see this and
well the town council with zero to do...looks like they want to be
innvolved, and of course that means they want to control them
being available to another that wants them. What a world.
I hope Ian gets his skype going soon...and also Bob so we can
yak. And I am off to see what the Canadian Postal Service has
dumped in my box. other then the usual junk.
