We watched the Coke 600 yeserday - the 3:00 stop was moving. To silence a stadium of that magniture was a tribute to all those who serve.
Wow...that last week went by quickly....Sorry, that was mean. Time always flies when you're cruising.
Okay guys and gals....hold down the fort for a month or two. By the time I get back, we'll be at the 1 year mark!!

So today is the 50th anniversary of "Able" and "Baker" spaceflight.
Thanks guys for blazing the way to space.....
Posting a thank you to Able and Baker and all our animal friends who are often on the leading age.
The following is credited to Wikeipedia: "On May 28, 1959, aboard Jupiter IRBM AM-18, were a 7-pound (3.18 kg) American-born rhesus monkey, "Able", and an 11 ounce (310 g) squirrel monkey from Peru, "Baker". The monkeys rode in the nosecone of the missile to an altitude of 360 miles (579 km) and a distance of 1,700 miles (2,735 km) down the Atlantic Missile Range from Cape Canaveral, Florida. They withstood forces 38 times the normal pull of gravity and were weightless for about 9 minutes. A top speed of 10,000 mph (16,000 km/h) was reached during their 16 minute flight. The monkeys survived the flight in good condition. "Able" died four days after the flight from a reaction to anesthesia, while undergoing surgery to remove an infected medical electrode. "Baker" lived until November 29, 1984, at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama."
