I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

That last run on the beach is at Pendine.  Those are nice cars.  A least one held the absolute land speed record at one time.

The night sky is interesting tonight.  The moon is to the south.  At 10:00 direction to it is Jupiter.  It is the bright planet.  The inner moons should be visible with good binoculars or a spotting scope.  Further out from the moon is Saturn.  It is the dimmer planet.  The rings are tilted to us at a more than usual angle and they are easy to see.  The big bright planet to the east is Mars.  We are very close to it and it is much brighter than it is normally.

What?  An open container of nitro won't burn when you try to light it?  Watch this.
