I have had a crappy, crappy few days, so I was glad when this came across my twitter feed. Sometimes I need to look outside myself to remember there are good things out there.

I hope your days are better.

    I’m signing off for the night…but send me your pet and good news items when you can. And yes, I’ll try for a Pearl-Bixby-other critters update later in the week.

    Wow, gorgeous.

    I actually just finished an unexpected research project: what would the view be if you were orbiting Saturn’s moon Enceladus? I ended up emailing with a scientist at JPL. Just now I was calculating how far from the moon you could orbit. It’s about 2300km, if you were curious.

    @TaMara: I am so sorry about the crappy, crappy days you have endured recently. Sucks mightily. Your amazing contingent of BJ jackals awaits you, prepared to do battle on your behalf! You have but to say the word :-)

    Those are gorgeous works of art. We’ve come a long way in technology since everyone crowded around the TV to see Alan Shepard standing on the moon.

    So sorry, T – hope your critters were able to make things better! (WTF am I saying, critters ALWAYS make everything better!)

    Wonderful images – ever since Saturn/Cassini ended I’ve been turning my attention to the Juno pix…just amazing and really glad I lived long enough to see things like this!

    My research project to build cartilage is finally coming full circle. The joint supplement I invented looks like it is going to go on the market. It’s been a long road.

    @NotMax: Buzz Aldrin was with Neil and is still with us on Earth, at age 89. I’m sure there will be an event but I just haven’t heard about it yet.

    Sorry to hear about your crappy days. My good news… a bear ripped the door off my chicken coop the other night but didn’t kill any of my girls. Youngest spawn got his grades back and is rocking a 3.8 GPA with one year to go on his undergrad! No humble about the bragging here… I’m so damned proud! He’s still planning on Medical School. Did I mention I’m so damned proud?

    @Duane: Thanks, Duane. I have been using it for the past three years and I have high hopes that it will help a lot of people when those creaky joints manifest. It won’t replace chunks of cartilage that have been torn out, but it might truly delay the onset of osteoarthritis. Obviously we can’t claim that yet, but wouldn’t it be grand?
