Tough night last night .. Little Ayden sprained his foot trying to play soccer in the house. He may be a sports star one day. But not at age 1.5..
The little person is doing ok, though. Getting a good sleep now after a very long day at the emergency room and eating Wendy’s French Fries last night … Yes, we let him splurge, Michelle Obama would not be fond of his post-sprain diet.
In the old days you got a recovering child a toy. Now toy stores are closed.. so we just add to childhood obesity. I guess. Or something like that.
I knew parenthood was stressful.. But I guess I just never understood that stressful meant….it’s stressful !!

IS EARTH SUNSPOT READY?
Earth looks to the sky: Monster solar event may soon occur..(http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2141488/Monster-sunspot-Earth-crosshairs-powerful-solar-storms.html?ITO=1490) Big sunspot dramatically developing..
Heard someone say .. a solar flare would do us good. But think of how much reliance we have on .. technology. No hands. Just keys.
The just in time life we have lived for a half century would potentially end with a burst of the sun
So no.. I don’t hope for a flare to end all satellites. Instead I pray it won’t happen. But as we know, everything is eventual..
So is monster sunspot1476 the one? The killshot? Cue Dr. Doom Ed Dames. Somewhere on some mountain, he must be ready, right?
Besides impending solar doom, everything else here on the pale blue dot seems to be .. as erratic and insane as ever..

If the light from the supermoon keeps you awake throughout the early hours of Sunday morning, take a few moments or an hour or two and listen in to John B. Wells host Leonard Mlodinow on Coast to Coast AM about how we may be shaped more by the unconscious mind than the one that’s conscious.

The supermoon rises.
Hopefully not a bad moon rising.
A beautiful scene from my window. Hopefully the view of the moon is just as wonderful where you are.. Moments like this make me just focus my eyes on the sky and wonder just what else is out there millions of billions of light years away that we will never know..
A space weather forecaster is warning: A truly damaging solar storm could happen soon, and the world is not ready
Not ready at all!
A few people have said over the years I’ve don’t this site that there have been too many solar updates.. so many sunspots, so little time. And I have stood by my fascination and fear of the sun since day one.
Mike Hapgood’s conclusion makes me continue to fear the blast that do harm. Hope it never happens.. but people who stare at the sun long enough know it will.

Matt Drudge has a headline running tonight about the Obama campaign kickoff:
I’d like to say maybe we just should call it half full?
Depends on your party affiliation I suppose.
Independents will just stay neutral.
Oh, by the way, Sunday marks 6 months until the election. And six months until your television, radio, newspapers, and internet will not be under a hostile takeover of campaign donors, big corporations, and politicians. Good luck. Clear the cache on November 7.

And here I have always thought Andre Linoge did it!?
New clues are being revealed in the lost colony of Roanoke Island.. Maps are helping.
The mystery isn’t solved yet. But researchers seem hopeful that they are close.

FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHT TO PARTY
Sad day ..
And one that is making me feel a bit old to be honest.
With the death of Adam Yauch and the sudden “flashbacks” to Beastie Boy days of the 80s.
Indeed old time is a flyin’..
That same Boy that’s Beastie today tomorrow will be dyin’.
RIP Adam Yauch

Here’s a hint to those who laugh at the Amish: Maybe we should figure just what it is that they are doing right.
