24 hours of air traffic

-


This is a NASA recording of world-wide air traffic flow over a 24 hour period. Note the terminator (the line between day and night) as it moves from East to West. Kinda interesting as to how many flights there are over the globe.

    That's incredible. I'll have to show my Dad (he works for Boeing) I think he'd get a kick out of that.

    That's fascinating. It also goes to show why I will always remember being disturbed on 9/11 by the clear blue sky with no planes flying overhead, until I saw one of the Air Force One flights heading to Nebraska while on a smoke break. You just take for granted the air streams in the sky until they aren't there reassuring you that everything is as it should be.

    WOW... it was watching the ebb and flow of life around the world... You could see when each city fell asleep and woke up.

    That was pretty cool. It's fascinating to see, literally, the connection between North America and Europe looking like a tether stretched between the two continents

    I'm more frightened than anything after seeing that. Why aren't they all crashing into each other? Mind blowing.

Handicapped Assessable. What does it mean to you? We have seen some pretty poor modifications in our time of pushing Skyler around, but absolutely nothing that compares to this series of pictures from overseas. I will never complain again! (well, yes I will, but only when I really need to...)

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet.
