Star Wars and National Parks

I’m not a Star Wars fan. I’m still firmly in the old Star Trek camp. Even so, I’m sending in my $26.95 to https://www.nationalparkstees.com/mtforestwy to get this tee shirt, knowing that I get the shirt and the National Park Foundation gets my $26.95 to help protect our wonderful green treasures.

 

Solar Impulse Landing

Congratulations to all those on the Solar Impulse project, and congratulations to our making a giant step toward saving our home planet.  

(I love the fact that one of the pilots and a driving force behind the project is named “Piccard,” as in Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise.  Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg truly have “gone where no man has gone before.”)
