Dr. Hawkings takes advantage of the Pop corn physics.... I see nothing wrong with it, and you have to get the kids excited about it too. We're talking about a Moon base to mine the Moon in the next twenty years over on another news group of mine. I'm too old and worn out for it, but there must be young entrepreneurs who will buy into it. One must keep hoping.

It's a pretty big Universe all reet, but if anyone can track it down, Dr. Hawkings and new tech might do it.

OK I looked him up.... he has a mark against him, that of Space X. I would not ride in one of their rockets, thank you. It's easy to talk about ideas, but a far different thing to produce tangible results that are safe and commercially feasible. His track record seems a little over extended. Cheap is not a factor when it comes to safety.

However, being a pretty face with a silver tongue, I'm sure many trust him, especially with investments. I hope he's not a hero, he does seem to have a good grasp of physics and such.

I thought of something very amusing to post here, in fact I'll do a web search in a second. I hope it disturbs you leslee, I'm on a weird jag tonight (been reading up on Pee Wee Herman, warped me a bit) Do you remember a Twilight Zone about Talking Teena? Well about a week ago, I woke up in the back bedroom where I fell asleep reading, it's stacked with stuffed toys, some of my own (one of my secret hobbies, I collect weird toys, like K9 from Loony Toons), some are my grandson's rejects; and there was my old Chatty Cathy laying next to me, stuffed in a bag for protection. I looked at her. She looked back. I decided it was time to get her restored.

Similar to Pee Wee, I too sometimes have things talk back to me (I was sorta floored when my new car whispered her name to me as we took our first ride together) so anyway I took this seriously, had some spare time and got to researching Chatty Cathy repair. Found a pretty good deal on line, for $50 I can get her voice repaired, and get her cleaned, and hair styled, along with a new pair of socks. (Doll clothes I can sew: the socks and shoes are tough!!!) Anyway for a few days, I've lugged that doll around the house a bit, and I keep thinking "Talking Teena" rather than Chatty Cathy.

This is not a good thing when you live by yourself to start calling your old doll Talking Teena. Anyway I sent her off to Alpha centauri today, aka MO for a repair job. I could hear her screaming as the jolly postman took her sealed box to the back "Let me out! Let me out!" I stuffed her head in a plastic bag too, before I boxed her up.

We shall see.

As an adult, I'm rather proud of my 6 year old child self. I took good care of her.... she's still in good shape. Never did understand kids who bash toys, I would never have dreamed of such a thing, even as a little kid. Odd.

Well I hope Elon is on the up and up. I'm so used to having flim flam men in my face in the media. James Cameron is one of those Renaissance men I would bow to and say "I am not worthy" anyone who dives to the bottom of the Marianas Trench and survives, me 'ats off to them. They say he's a real grouch socially. Jets and rockets aren't something you can fool around with.... I appreciate his management genius and abilities, but a rocket weld can't be messed with. Even NASA has their off days. No room for error with some tech. So many space people are out of work or retiring, we may have to reinvent the wheel to get to Mars... if ever.

(Having a flash back to a few jet incidents... I'll be ok in a moment.....)

Nice descriptions on the Intergalactic beauty contests!!! Have you seen Toy Story yet?

Sorry to bore everyone with the doll story yesterday. I seriously had a nice time making her a set of clothing on Sunday, looking forward to seeing how she comes back. It's a pleasure having this staycation.... catching up on a lot of little things like that (like fixing my talking doll). Gosh restored Chatty Cathys are going for $225 on line, with reproduced "vintage" clothing. Maybe I'll set up a side line if I can figure out how to make the shoes.

I've actually thought about that. I wonder how Red would look in a tutu. Did I tell you I *touched* the purple tapestry he throws over Red sometimes? During the onstage thang? It looks like a towel with an elephant on it. It's a tapestry. Not a towel.

I had taken a bath!!!!

Sigh just think, my cooties and Justin's on that tapestry, commingling. Perhaps swapping RNA

Oh naw... don't do that. In fact I don't think I've ever seen that item out on the stage before during an "on stage tour" thang. This was in Santa Rosa, and their sound check was rushed that night. In fact we did the onstage tour before the band got on stage!!! So the roadies had put it out there for Justin. That was a sorta weird evening.... the one Mike Pinder showed up at. I think they started on the road mid afternoon, or in reasonable time to get to Santa Rosa (about 2 hours north of The City) and got stuck in the usual mad cram up Hwy 101..... that's what they get for being so leisurely, but the place they stayed in San Jose really WAS a nice hotel. I bet they drove back and stayed there too again, before heading south to LA.
