  • What if?

    Crackling with Solar Flares
    Fast-growing sunspot 1112 is crackling with solar flares. So far, none of the blasts has hurled a substantial CME, or coronal mass ejection, toward Earth. In addition, a vast filament of magnetism is cutting across the sun’s southern hemisphere. This filament is so large it spans a distance greater than the separation of Earth and the moon. A bright ‘hot spot’ just north of the filament’s midpoint is UV radiation from sunspot 1112. The proximity is no coincidence; the filament appears to be rooted in the sunspot below. If the sunspot flares, it could cause the entire structure to erupt. Thus far, none of the flares has destabilized the filament.

    What if…. The book of revelations says that the earth will go through a baptism of fire.  -Judgement of fire.  If this sun spot erupts it could spill onto the earth.  Not that the “hot Spot” is over 250,000 miles long.  What if scientists are seeing what is coming? 

  • World of Kids

    The merry go round went round and round. When it stopped the kids and I went on imaginary planitary expeditions. Sometimes the kids would interject an idea, but mostly I was the leader in cotton candy village. We would travel in space on the merry go round and when it stopped we explored the territory. One particular planet was a favorite and you probally already guessed it had “candy” trees. The candy gave energy to fight the candy cane poles. Sometimes we had to hurry back to the merry go round and blast off. We were being chased and haste was in order. The blasting off was fun because it involved moving as fast as possible, but once orbit was broke the travel was smooth and slow. The descent onto the planet was a little bumpy at times but that was ok because another adventure was on it’s way.
    (This was how I played with the kids at the church day care.)

    Any certain games you played with your kids or with kids?

  • Imagination

    The roof was a great place. I could run on the flat surface and jump to the next roof. On the ground looking up, it looked like a long jump, but from the roof it didn’t look like much of a jump. When I grew tired of that I went into our garage and spent countless hours of space travel. I grew up in a gas station and loved to go into the storage garage with all the spare parts. I set up the radios like a space ship. I visited many planets and had many adventures. I flew to imaginary planets and ate all the candy I wanted on those planets.

    WHAT WAS YOUR CHILDHOOD IMAGINATIONS?

  • Australians & Esculator

    The Australian group came on board ship. I began telling them about the USS Kitty Hawk. We walked through the hanger bays. Some sailers were hard at work and greeted the Australian visitors. We went to forward part of the ship and descended one deck. I showed them my office and then asked them if they would like to climb an esculator. They excitedly said, “Yes”. We proceeded to the bottom of the escaltor. It was off because we were in port but the people thought it still would be fun going on a ship’s large escaltor. I with several Australians started to proceed up the escalator. What I didn’t know was that when you go up a shut off escalator it begins to reverse. What I also didn’t know is when a “off” escalator starts to go backwards the natural inclination is to run faster forward. Well you can see the senario in your mind. Most of the people pilled up at the bottom of the small room that held the escalator while a few of us made it to the top. I breathed a sigh of relieve when the people picked themselves up and began to laugh. They thought it was the greatest thing. I can’t remember anything else of the tour since my mind was dominated by the excalator.

  • Dream?

    Was I dreaming or was this real? I heard Arabic voices giving praises to Allah. I feared opening my eyes, for if I did I would defiantly enter the real realm. My mind wouldn’t allow me to process this strange language. It told me that I was being held hostage and would soon be killed. The haze began to lift, the fear materialized as I allowed my eyes to open just a little. Behind me two Muslim men continued to talk. The plane continued to fly and I realized it was a dream, except for the fact I was on a plane and I was sitting in front of two Muslim men speaking Arabic.

    How has nine-eleven changed you?

  • Shaking

    I was reading a facebook entry of a few people in New Zealand who had a major earthquake a few months ago.  The person I was chatting with said that another quake hit just a short time before.  She said there was a rumbling sound just before the shaking began.  She also told me that the quake woke her and her husband up the night before.  I’ve only experience a small earth quake and it was scarry.  I was amazed at her description and the affect it had on people. 

    Have you ever been in an earthquake?  What was your experience?  Hurricane?  or simular?

    Too bad this man had to be involved in this.  He invited his mistriss and his wife to the site.  He was bothered when his mistriss hugged him.  He knew he was doing wrong and in front of the world.

  • Mother

    My Mom instilled in me to make sure I wasn’t anger at anyone before I fell asleep.

    What one thing did your Mom instill in you?
