June bugs. 
I swear, they have got to be the stupidest flying insect I've ever had the chance to witness. When they're not aimlessly buzzing around and crashing into anything nailed down or otherwise, they're constantly exhibiting their ineptitude at landing and remaining upright.
Just now I saw a cadre of them buzzing around the deck light. There was one glued to my screen door, and I swear I saw a pair of light batons in its forward appendages and a radio headset attached to its head.
Just to be sure, I looked at another one, looking like it was coming in for a landing. The one observing, on the door, looked upset as communication was obviously not taking place:
"No-- left. Left! Now back to the right . . . now back to the left . . . higher . . . higher . . .
, wave off! Eject, eject, eject!"
. . . Sure. The step on the deck was a great landing site, but that landing was a real crusher, and was all that flopping around to get back upright worth the effort?
(This amusing? anecdote brought to you by late Spring weather with a lot of rainfall in the last few weeks.)

Just a picture of Nathan Fillion kissing his cat. I hope this makes your day as it did mine.

Problem: Those mountains in the background won't survive for 4 billion years.

And the first thing that comes to mind is the fact that most or quite possibly all people alive today will have long since ceased to exist before having a chance to witness that.

And again... :rofl:
BTW, I'd say that I have a 10% chance of good weather for the Venus transit.

Uh - I'm good..... Garyw is the only space mad geek I fancy kissing, and astronauts don't tend to do it for women...not entirely sure why though.on a semi-related note, im sure some of our female orbinauts would certainly kiss that cook....

Actually, I would think being an astronaut is a pretty sexy job. But possibly the problem is the same one with fighter pilots: many women fear to get into a committed relationship with someone who might not be alive in a few days

They have a live video streaming of Space Shuttle Enterprise being brought over to the Intrepid museum.
