....nice bit of consciousness-raising last week, Rick McC.

I nominate Rick for P&R&P forum moderator. Especially if he's bringing the Coronas!

Have a great day, everyone!

And now for something completely different!

On a lighter note --

A fair number of astronomers that I know are also cyclists, so this might be of some interest. You can tour the world's largest scale model of the solar system by bike on the Interplanetary Bicycle Ride in Peoria Illinois. Did this ride a couple of years ago, it was pretty cool!

Smithsonian Photo Contest

Posted By Christine Canelos Welsh
On to a more positive topic:

I just love all the wonderful work that you folks post here and in the birding forum. It's a refreshing break in my day to come in and browse the day's postings. Many thanks to one and all for sharing your work. There are more people than you realize that are enjoying your photos - I often forward links to my office mates and their response is usually an enthusiastic "WOW!!"

Following is a link to a photo contest sponsored by the Smithsonian - I think that those of you that participate here have MORE than an even chance of winning.

Queen Anne's Lace. I've always loved these. This one was about 5" across.

This evil world

Posted By Christine Canelos Welsh
Mike V.B.:
".....in this evil world where God is spurned more than honored."

I am hearing this sentiment quite a lot these days and I must admit, it perplexes me. How do you see God as being spurned? I don't have time to go find the research at the moment, but we are currently seeing people seeking spiritual answers (for lack of a better term) in greater and greater numbers.

If you mean keeping sanctioned prayer out of schools and religious monuments out of courts, it's a tired argument. That is not spurning God, that is keeping spiritual matters where they belong - in one's private life.

Regards,
Christine

Value Judgement?

Posted By Christine Canelos Welsh
I have noticed that every so often someone will suddenly mention that someone else (with whom they are arguing, usually) has no Astromart rating, runs no ads, or does not even mention astronomy here on this forum, and that therefore their participation in this forum is somehow suspect or flawed.

It is more than one person who has brought this up. I for one, have never looked up anyone’s rating, it doesn’t even occur to me. If you are one of those people, can you explain how this makes a difference to you?

And if you are one of those people, you already know: I do not buy, sell, or trade on Astromart and have no rating.

I'm inclined to think it's innate James. My kids were always hurling things at each other if they thought they were being treated unequally.
