We are in some kind of 4th of July hazy parallel universe where time is meaningless. Both of the girls have fevers over 102 degrees and one has been barfing since sun up. My body took the opportunity to give me the big finger for lack of sleep over the past month and rendered me knocked out (but gratefully not knocked up) for most of the day, sleeping the sleep of the dead. I have never seen...

"Tropical Depression Two developed before sun-up Thursday morning off the coast of Africa, and by midday Thursday the National Hurricane Center had upgraded it to Tropical Storm Bertha. It's the time of year when the hurricane season is expected to pick up, but Bertha developed in the most unlikely of places. Tropical Storm Bertha is the first storm on record to develop off the African coast in...

Just before the sun makes its grand appearance in the sky for the day.

Too late to post last night, didn't get settled until after midnight in the RV grounds. This is on the way....

Ms. Talkalot on the topic of oil alternatives: We can't use solar, because the Sun isn't always out. - On the #44 -- Overheard by.

We could follow the sun (insert Beatles song here.) Just as soon as it starts to be continual rain, we'd head South and East to warm up a bit. Maybe we'd go to Spain, Southern Italy, Greece, Australia. We would have a boat (power and sail.) I...

A 30-second exposure taken about an hour after sunset.

Summer stars greet the sun today — freshly opened blossoms in my Portland teardrop pond. I'll wade in and reward my babies with fertilizer pellets. But I'll be tempted to disappear beneath the lily pads into my past. As a kid living next to Lake Sybelia in Maitland, Florida, my two brothers and I endlessly...

NASA - NanoSail-D: "'Hold your hands out to the sun. What do you feel? Heat, of course. But there's pressure as well – though you've never noticed it, because it's so tiny. Over the area of your hands, it only comes to about a millionth of an ounce. But out in space, even a pressure as small as that can be important – for it's acting all the time, hour after hour, day after day....
