And I've only had one cup of coffee (a total that's going to change shortly). Helps that I've got lots to do today.

Drunk drivers get into so many accidents because the alcohol makes them believe they can still drive well.

Oh, I'm not making claims about job performance. I don't care about that. I'm just talking energy level and ability to keep my eyes open, my standard measure of a successful day these days.

Teens capture images of space with inexpensive camera and balloon. Neat!

The commonly accepted altitude for being in space (for purposes of various challenges) is 64 miles. So they only made it a third of the way there.

Still really cool and they still have something to shoot for better next time (though you can only so far with a balloon).

Try that here in the states and the FAA, Homeland Security and who knows who else would be all over them like white on rice.

I just want to know how the camera operated the balloon.

Bull.

That's the fear of everything the Bush years put into the culture talking.

Fight it.

Example A - Not so much as a fine for littering.

Example B - Up up and away.

Example C - Closer to home.

Don't let the fear grip you.

We are Americans. We can do any smart, creative or stupid thing we want.

That's Freedom you smell baby, take a big wiff.

Beat me to it Moonie.

The worst they get is they ask that you notify them a couple days beforehand. But you don't need any sort of clearance or permit.

Whatever, I'm just glad you have once again come to your senses and seen the error of your ways.
