Nick and I were talking about some of the “interesting” folks that we’ve run into in the area.
The archetype is the speed guy at Subway with the “normal” Subway folks being in there too. Let me say, however, that I’ll let Russell make me a sandwich anytime.
My new example is the person who bagged my groceries at Price Chopper this evening. She insisted that I treat my eggs like little angels and that she would spank me if I broke them.
Yup.
I’m trying to redeem myself with a quality post so I figure that I should mention that Voyager 1 recently reached the termination shock.
For those of you who aren’t in space physics (or astronomy at this point) the termination shock is the point where the solar wind and the ISM effectively join. Basically, beyond the termination shock you’re outside the solar system. And to think it’s only at about twice Pluto’s distance from the Sun.
Apparently, the thermocouples are good for another 15 or so years. We’ll see if a) there’s anything interesting to see in the near reaches of interstellar space and b) if NASA manages to keep it’s head out of it’s ass long enough to keep the Voyager project funded.
It’s nice that synth-pop is making a comeback with The Bravery and the new Kelly Osbourne single.
I’m not sure I see a new Depeche Mode out there though.
Don’t like my choice in music? Bring it on.
