In these tough economic times, we need to look at the many superfluous programs that our State and Federal Tax dollars are being spent on. I increasingly hear people wonder why we’re funding the Space program. “Shut NASA Down, We’ll save Billions”, I’ve heard it a hundred, if not a thousand times. Sounds reasonable to me.
In support of our Space program, I could give a lengthy list of all the things, products, and technologies that come directly as a benefit from Space research.* (For a full description. please go here: http://www.thespaceplace.com/nasa/spinoffs.html) However, aside from all of these wonderful gizmo’s, there is one real answer:
Our survival as a species depends on it.
On Monday afternoon, an asteroid (named 2009 DD45) passed dangerously close to the earth. At 40,000 miles out, it passed at less than twice the distance of most of our satellites in geosynchronous orbit, which is approx. 26,200 miles above the Earth. It was estimated to be the same size as the asteroid that exploded over Siberia in 1908 and leveled more than 800 square miles of forest. Had 2009 DD45 slammed down onto the Earth, it would have exploded with the force of a large nuclear blast somewhere in the Pacific Ocean west of Tahiti.
Most surprising of all is that we only had 2 days notice… 2009 DD45 was spotted last Saturday by astronomers in Australia, and verified by the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Centre (MPC), which catalogues solar system rocks. Not to add any alarm, but 2009 DD45 will get another chance at hitting us… Astronomers said the asteroid is likely to return for another series of near misses since it’s drawn in by our planet’s gravity.

I don’t analyse then, I just report them…
To my darling husband,
Before you return from your overseas trip I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick up truck when I turned into the driveway. Fortunately not too bad and I really didn’t get hurt, so please don’t worry too much about me.
I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into the driveway I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake. The garage door is slightly bent but the pick up fortunately came to a halt when it bumped into your car.
I am really sorry, but I know with your kind-hearted personality you will forgive me. You know how much I love you and care for you my sweetheart. I am enclosing a picture for you.
I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again.
Your loving wife. XXX
P.S. Your girlfriend called.
The BigDog says…”ouch”…
Happy Valentine’s day to all you lovers out there.
P.S… Special Thanks go out to Ktinks for that submission. 
Veteran’s Day…
I’m finding myself at work. The morning was busy, but now we’re cruising along. We dropped The Matrix into the DVD player. Damn, what a fine, fine movie. People fighting for what they believe in. Besides, it’s the only one we have here since nobody brought anything from home today 
This Veteran’s Day is interesting for me. My father and my Grandfather are both Veterans, and I salute them, as well as all of our folks in uniform, both past ands present. I salute my brother’s wife, Major Robin Welch-Daniels, who just came back from a year in Quwait. My brother was able to stay home for a year and raise their children, a 2 year-old girl and a 5 year-old boy. I’m not sure who had a rougher time, but the chances of my brother getting shot were much lower. Then again, he does live near Sacramento…

Well, you have to begin somewhere…
What’s a day in the DogHouse like? Imagine the best view in the house, Lord and Master of all you survey. Biggest scraps off of the table. You know the routine… when you score the game-winning touchdown, you don’t spike the ball and get all up in someone’s grill like some puppy. Not you. You smoothly walk it in like you’ve been there a hundred times before, hand the ball to the ref, jog to the stands and get the girl’s phone number that you’ve been watching for the last quarter…
You’re not the young bull who runs down the hill to get himself a heifer. You’re the old bull who walks down and gets them all.
You’re the man who made the horse cry.
However, the DogHouse isn’t just for us guys. The ladies can be cozy up in here as well. Some examples of a woman in the DogHouse…
