Happy Thanksgiving

Too busy getting things cleaned and fixed up around the house for guests later to put together an extensive compendium, but I’m thankful for both my and Patricia’s continuing good health, and prospects for interesting (and hopefully remunerative) space-related projects in the coming year. Best wishes of a grateful feast for all of my readers today.

…and we were their lab rats.

This reminds me of the old Soviet joke about the schoolkid:

“Yes, Pyotr, it is true.”

“Then why didn’t he try this crap on rats first?”
