Google Earth Feature (WAY cool)

Check out Google Earth's new "Street View" feature...

There are 1,000's of panoramic views, taken from steet level, all over the country. These images were created by a high-tech pan camera mounted on a vehicle. This particular view is of a close friend's house in the country. If you don't have Google Earth on your computer, download it! If you already have it, update it! This is very, very cool.......

Next Generation Space Flight

The next generation space flight program is called "Constellation". It is designed after the Apollo vehicles and the launch rockets are named Ares.
Ares 1-X is the test rocket for the crew vehicle. It was just rolled out from the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at Kennedy Space Center to launch pad 39B.

More information about the Constellation program can be found here.

Sunday Drive

I like to drive. That's one reason I drive a bus for a living. Even with all the city traffic and noise, smelly, obnoxious, barely tolerable people, and sitting for 8 hours a day, it's still the best gig I've ever had.
In fact, driving is very relaxing for me. Especially when I get the chance to hop in my car for a nice, peaceful drive up the river. Fall is a wonderful time to float through all the beautiful colors, listening to relaxing music.....(I hope you enjoy this as much as I did...)
