Once a signal has been emitted it travels through our atmosphere and into the depths of space forever to be received by anything that has the capacity to do so. Light, I have heard, is basically the same. However, it is argued that light travels in not only waves but as particles, too: namely "quarks."Now, since these things travel on-and-on into http://puddinsplace.blogspot.com/2005/06/enlighten-me.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Puddin')0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10117132.post-111695914801729038Wed, 25 May 2005 01:37:00 +00002005-05-25T07:41:44.253-05:00A good read if you get a couple of minutes.

I was unaware of the magnificence of being able to tote around tunes on a small DIvice that is at your fingertips waiting to be plugged into the next inviting USB port. Yeah, 128Mb isn't very much but it's about 3 album's worth of tunes. Seeing as how my commute to just about anywhere I go these days takes less than 20 mins.

The race consisted of each boat going for time instead of all the boats being dumped in the water and going head-to-head. This served two purposes.First, we only had 6 entries that participated in the race. (I do say "only", now but I am kind of appreciative that we didn't have a huge amount of boats.

The Dogwood Arts Cardboard Regatta was held this past Sunday afternoon as stated in my previous post. We were hoping for some weather that was suitable for swimming (we were anticipating it) such as the type of day we had when we appeared on Live at Five (video http://puddinsplace.blogspot.com/2005/04/ships-ahoy.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Puddin')1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10117132.post-111409582906800826Thu, 21 Apr 2005 15:12:00 +00002005-04-21T10:16:09.443-05:00Looks as if I may have my "5 minutes" this evening.

With the hundreds of thousands of birds within a short radius of most urban areas, why don't we happen upon these carcasses more often?
