These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

    st - (grin) no, sweetheart, until this old gal goes away, she has the hold on that title!! But I'll let you be my apprentice!! I'll send an application.

    old - wonderful!! If you want to print them and these don't download well for you, let me know via email and I'll snd the originals.

    patti - I know! We were taught the statistical stuff, but who can really understand it in the real world. I suspect even those who work with spacial concepts couldn't even fathom in their heads what this looked like.

    oops, my fingers forgot how to spell today!

    seven - OK, I admit it. You have made a statement for which I have no (safe) rebuttal! But give me a while. I'm working on a response. I'll be back.

    Well, I have learned something new today. Very cool post. Those last few pictures I don't think I had ever heard of some of those planets. Makes me feel pretty small after looking at the size of some of those planets.

    caroline - That really is cool, isn't it? Boy, you are right ... it is certainly humbling!

    seven - I'm still thinking.
