Last night we ate "dad burgers" at Deb and Paul Langness's. They also threw in some hot dogs, a favorite of Dan Lockwood's. Dan believes that no bad can come from eating a hot dog, which speaks to the powers of mind that can be acheived with practice and discipline. The "dad burgers" were great and complemented by a Scots-Irish Italian Salad prepared to perfection by Uncle Jim, who had already gone to bed. So though physically not there, his presence was felt.
This is a smart family full of engineering and computing expertise. Dan described his work on the escape pod for the space shuttle. If your firewall fails call Cody Langness. I learned the science behind those wireless devices we carry around and why I can't use the Samsung phone that came with my Verizon plan if I switch my network to Sprint. I also concluded that space exploration is over until somebody finds a way to make a profit from it. So maybe there is not a compelling vision for space exploration. Does that mean there is no legacy emerging from the Space shuttle the international space station, or the moon landings? So don't save up for a ride in space, if you don't expect to be here in a generation or two. We also agreed -well those with expertise agreed-that mining platinum from an asteroid, would be a really good paying job.
Uncle Bill Gale has found a way to pull pictures off the blog, so maybe he will take some of the family photo's and turn them from trip pictures into Bill Gale art.
