The Perfect Catch

After the shuttle Discovery undocked from the International Space Station, it performed a "fly-around of the station, before departing ahead of the station. (The shuttles AWAYS do it that way)

As predicted by Heavens Above.com, the ISS passed almost directly over my location. What I DIDN'T expect, was to capture Discovery only 4 minutes ahead of ISS!!!

This video shows the shuttle crossing the sky first, then, 4 minutes later....ISS. (the motion-detection software I use captured only the events, and not the gap in between)

New Radishes

A new crop of radishes is popping up in the garden plot...

FIRST RADISHES!!

I decided to pull up the first batch of radishes tonight after work. It's been just under 4 weeks since planting them in small yogurt containers. The tops were pretty large and leafy, so I figured the radishes were almost ready. The largest one was about an inch in diameter. Very tasty.

I have several more crops growing, and more to plant in the near future, giving me a continuous supply for as long as they keep growing. I have about 24 in the ground and more in planters on the deck. Yummmmm.
