It's bright and early in the am
I awaken to the inner sound of my strong heartbeat with a sudden rush of urgency. The day was awaiting, pointing a strong finger for me to catch up...
As I drink my coffee, the wxbug tells me it a rather cold 4 degrees outside and, yet I dared to remove and uncover myself to greet this day.
Life is so full of surprises as we all know. Just yesterday, for example, I was "surfin" the web and, stumbled across a NASA site concerning JPL's project "Stardust" from the past. How far back I really don't remember but it was in the early days of the internet. Brief history:
NASA JPL was making it possible to include your name on a chip to be send into outer space on one of their missions called the Stardust. At the time, I entered my entire family member's names. As well as 136,000 other people. I found out that the mission had been launched into space on Feb7, 1999, and now it was scheduled to arrive back on Earth sometime this year in 2006. WOW, so much has happened since then, I had totally forgotten about this~ The real neat thing is that, one microchip with all of our our names on it will stay in outer space forever while the other one returns. Isn't this the KEWLEST thing???
Here's the link:

Just look under the T'section. Go to: Vernon L. Townsend, etc.
That's my thoughts for the day..27FEB, 2006
