As an about-to-become Florida resident, I found this interesting:
“This would not be the norm for the Amish,” Miller says. “People say the Amish have long faces and short pocketbooks, but we enjoy coming down here and kicking back for a couple of weeks.”
…Two years ago, the Millers went parasailing.
“It’s just like flying,” Miller says. “We were up 650, 700 feet.”
“I closed my eyes for a while,” Becky says. “But it was awesome.”
“Know what I did up there?” Miller asks. “I kissed her.”
It almost reads like an Iowahawk piece, but it’s real.
I fully expect some sect of the Amish to come up with some way of justifying using space technology to homestead asteroids.
In perusing the latest issue of The New Atlantis (which also has pieces by editor Adam Keiper, Bob Park and Bob Zubrin on the new space policy–the Park and Zubrin pieces are regurgitations of the Great Debate), I see that Professor Diana Schaub, one of the recent appointments to the president’s Bioethics Commission (of which much has been discussed in the blogosphere), says that immortality is a bad thing.

In honor of the occasion, I’ve decided to make all of today’s posts green.
Now I’m going out to the store to pick up a corned beef–a dish that I only have once a year (partly because Patricia doesn’t like it, but I’m back in California, and she’s in Florida, so I can indulge the holiday and my tastes). I may make some soda bread as well.

Jeffrey Bell has a thought-provoking article over at Space Daily today on the potential costs of the president’s space initiative, and the viability of doing the lunar base. However, my thoughts haven’t been adequately provoked yet to respond, or even decide to what degree I agree or disagree with it.
Don’t ask, but consider that while cruising the channels, the guy on CNN Newsnight said that the new object discovered, several billion miles away, was the “most distant object found in the universe.”
