Remember, 9 million who will come out and say so…
And we’ve still been around since humans have been humans. Maybe even before.

Shuttle Retires At 30

From the first flights of the Enterprise, to the final voyage of Endeavour, it’s been a grand 30 years. Over a hundred missions, the construction of the International Space Station, the launching and servicing of the Hubble Space Telescope, and the tragic loss of two Orbiters and 14 astronauts, the Space Shuttle Program has always been a part of my adult life. It’s difficult to imagine it not being there any longer.

Personal Captain James T. Kirk, talk like william shatner day, William Shatner 1 Comment
Today is William Shatner’s 80th birthday!
It’s also the 3rd annual
“Talk Like William Shatner Day”!
I’ll never pull that off, so I’ll just do my Spock impression…
I’ll stand there stoically, and raise one eyebrow at the appropriate moment.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Shatner!

Trying To Make Pretty

commentary, Personal fruitless cherry tree, make pretty, one week, purple tree Leave a comment
Once a year, for about a week or two, this tree is pretty. It must just be putting on airs for the bees, because the rest of the year it’s an ugly purple mess. It’s a fruitless cherry tree, but apparently it’s not quite sure how that works, because every two years it tries to put out a crop of cherries. They don’t look very tasty, and even the birds don’t seem interested in eating them. I’ve threatened to cut it down, several times.
Space Cadet Makes Momentary Appearance

It happened again. On Monday the 7th, the Space Shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station flew overhead just after dark. I went outside to watch, expecting only the Space Station, and was jumping up and down (at least internally. I doubt anyone driving by noticed) when I realized I was getting the double lucky view of the shuttle leading the station in the same orbit, just miles apart from each other. The Discovery had undocked from the station earlier that day, and was slowly increasing the distance between it and the orbiting outpost with each moment. Tonight, the shuttle is on the ground, but ISS is still up there, and still gliding majestically across my sky from time to time.

Space Cadet Jimmie made a sudden appearance Monday, and again today. He’s someone I don’t get to visit very often these days, but maybe… just maybe… he’ll come around more often.

A Tale of Two Leaders

Last night I attended the annual Public Safety Communications Association Dispatcher Of The Year banquet in Fresno. The yearly event recognizes dispatchers from area agencies, and highlights the often unsung heroes who toil behind the scenes to support deputy sheriffs, police officers, firefighters, EMTs and paramedics.
Last night’s event was started off by opening remarks from two of Fresno County’s top law enforcement officers. Fresno Sheriff Margaret Mims, and Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer spoke to the assembled dispatchers, family, officers, deputies, paramedics, firefighters, friends and supporters. This blog is about the difference between those two presentations.
Margaret Mims, Fresno County Sheriff
Police Chief Jerry Dyer, Fresno PD
One speaker used the entire time at the podium to talk about dispatchers, the other started off talking about dispatchers, but veered off the night’s topic halfway through and instead turned to speaking about themselves and their religion. I’ve not seen the first speaker in person before, but I have had to sit through the “god talk” from the second at previous banquets. You can probably guess who’s talk I preferred.
