Sage is blooming

The sage is doing so well this year that it I'd blooming.  It looks like salvia.

I don't know if this changes it's taste or will have any affect on it's production.

Remembering Shuttle Launches

This week's shuttle launch reminds me that when I saw the launch (above) of the Space Shuttle Atlantis in February of 2008 we also saw Endeavor in the VAB being prepared for a March launch.  

I saw the launch one week and then the next week we toured Kennedy Space Center without the crazy crowds.

Osama Bin Laden is dead

It's all over the news today, I am not sure you need my links to it. Osama Bin Laden was killed my US special forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Finally.

I am not sure how important he was to al-Quada anymore, but he certainly was a symbol. Perhpas this sucess, along with the democracy fueled protests across North Africa and the Middle East signals a positive change.


My favorite coverage was @ReallyVirtual in Abbottabad, who apparently was live tweeting it and didn't know it.
