This must be my own personal Geek Week! Check out the far end of that line of shuttle craft… I recognized that one right off! Find a few more pictures after the jump, and the rest at the homepage of the Sci-Fi Airshow! This is soooo cool!

The stats page for this website includes a list of search terms that brought readers to my site. One day, I noticed “Jimmy Joe Reeves” in the listing, and wondered if they were looking for me and simply misspelling my name, or if there was something else going on? My name is spelled Jimmie, with an ‘ie’ at the end. This search term was Jimmy with a ‘y’. So, being the ever inquisitive fellow I am, I immediately “Googled” ‘Jimmy Joe Reeves’. Here’s what I found!
Meet Jimmy Joe Reeves, from Germany.
He’s apparently an actor (one video on his site shows him in a German movie with American actor Stacy Keach, but it’s in German, so I’m not sure what’s going on). I do know one thing: he’s pretty hot! 😉
Here’s his Facebook page, and some more pictures after the jump.

Katie, Kristeen, Amanda help kick off Pride in the Park 3
One of the big problems with working swing shifts forever, is that your body is trained, and firm in it’s patterns, about going to bed late, and rising late. When something requires an early start, the body (mine anyway) doesn’t really see the need to cooperate. I’m not one who can change my pattern on short notice, so I didn’t get much sleep the day before the festivities. We had a fun 5 hours in Plaza Park, at Queer Visalia’s third annual Pride in the Park picnic and BBQ. The weather was wonderful (a tad chilly for skinny guys like me whenever the sun went behind one of the cottonball looking clouds blowing overhead) but sunshiny and warm. We avoided the 95+ degree temperatures of PitP’s of the past, and enjoyed a great afternoon of burgers, hotdogs, volleyball, and socializing. Jesse brought his new puppy, and of course was the center of attention showing him off! I neglected to get a picture, sorry!
After Pride in the Park, I went to Fresno to see the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus at the Tower Theater.
San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus
They came, they sang, they wore pink cowboy hats! (in one song) Such a powerful and moving performance, having the audience in tears one moment, and roaring in laughter the next. The Fresno Gay Men’s Chorus also performed, doing several songs, my favorite which was “Color in Colorado”… very good!
Dinner afterwards at Livingstone’s, then home. A busy day celebrating Visalia Pride and Harvey Milk Day! This is the first annual Harvey Milk Day in California, as passed by the state legislature and signed by Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger. Harvy would have turned 80 yesterday.
More pics of the day after the jump.

I just felt like it, that’s why.
Happy Mother’s Day
all you mothers!
Oh, Daffy was yelling something about not doing it, but I think he’s just jealous that he’s not in center frame. Talk about a camera hog!
Wow. Simply, Wow.

The Sky on Fire

South Polar region.
The sky is on “fire”.
The aurora australis — the southern lights — snakes its way across the Earth’s magnetic field as seen from above!
In this picture taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station, charged particles from the sun interact with the Earth’s magnetic field, lighting up the sky.
Things like this is why I prefer science to superstition and mythology. Those stories are entertaining, and inform much morality, but they pale before the real thing. This isn’t because some “god” decided to light the sky on fire, this is simply the end result of natural processes. Figuring out why it happens, how that might affect us, and that it might lead to other exciting discoveries and advances is what science is all about. How unsatisfying to say merely “because God made it that way”.
