This is awesome... if I ever go to Chicago, this is on my list. Its a 10 x 40 foot sculpture entitled Above and Beyond, is comprised of imprinted dog tags, one for each of the more than 58,000 service men and women who died in the Vietnam War. Above & Beyond is the first new permanent Vietnam War memorial, other than The Wall in Washington, D.C., to list all those killed in action.

Want to be a Mars Colony Pioneer?
Want to be a Mars colony pioneer? You apparently can in 2023…. After 8 years of training… did I mention this will be a reality TV event? This is craziness. Basically Mars One will have a selection process in 2013. You will go through 8 YEARS of training then go live on Mars. Only FOUR people will go to Mars for the 1st 2 years beginning in 2023… then every 2 years, 2 more people will join. So for 2 years its only 4 of you? That’s a long time with only 4 people.
AND there’s no coming back!
Total emigration to Mars. This
raises a lot of issues with me… what if you get sick, have a heart attack, get
stabbed, cut off your hand, aliens attack, etc? You are at least 8 months away from anyone that could help
you? This doesn’t sound like a good
plan at all.
Who is really going to do
this? If you have a family, do you
really want to desert them to go live on Mars?
Do you really want to leave earth forever to live on an unknown planet
with only 3 people? I see this becoming
a reality disaster…
If you hate it, oh well.
You are stuck on Mars. You have to
really hate your life on earth to go live on another planet… True dedication to go live on another planet
you know nothing about… forget about the unknown aliens you are going to try to
become neighbors with….
I really see this never happening
but what do you think? Read more about
it at the following links…. Enjoy J

Good things in a jar...
August really? I’m
such a slacker on blogging. I always
find things I want to blog about then never do it.
I only have 10 followers anyways.
J So wow 2013.
I had no problem moving into 2013.
You know how most people will write/type 2012 continuously for the 1st
6 months of 2013? Not me. I was ready for 2013…. I was writing 2013
before the end of December!
I’m not writing any new years resolutions for 2013. I have done them in the past years only to have
them broken and/or forgot about by February.
Instead I am going to write down all the good things that happen this
year, no matter how big or small, and put them in a jar. At the end of 2013, I’m going to read
everything in the jar. I may even
incorporate it into my Christmas letter. J I think this will be much more rewarding at
the end of the year than broken and failed resolutions. I also did not come up with this idea…. I
stole it. I don’t remember where I saw
it but it’s a great idea. J
