Barack "HWMNMNBU" Obama has chosen Dr. Sanjay Gupta as the new US Surgeon General.
I feel bitter about this because when the news first reached me, I misheard and thought they said Sanjaya from American Idol had been tapped only to have hope dashed like a Ming vase in a snow blower.Labels: United States
Barack "He Whose Middle Name May Not be Uttered" Obama had brunch with all the other living US presidents. They told Mr Obama that for the next four years they will refer to him as "New Kid".Labels: United States

A man in Massachusetts recently powered his house using his Prius as a makeshift generator after the mains were knocked out by an ice storm. This almost made me change my mind about the appalling little things until I recalled that during the recent snow storm at Chez Szondy both our cars were stranded miles away and I doubt that a Prius could get up the mountain any better than the Hunmobile.Labels: Massachusetts, Motor Car, United States

Inside, however, it is less than impressive; looking more like the sort of site huts that I kicked around in during my archaeology days. Somehow, I doubt that plywood will be a major construction material on Mars, nor do I think that hammers and nails will be in great demand.
But my favourite is the fact that the "astronauts" don "spacesuits" before doing an "EVA", or as we call it on earth, putting on silly overalls before going outside. No doubt it's all jolly fun, but wake me when they relocate the camp to the top of Mount Everest or the bottom of Lake Superior and then I'll be more impressed.Labels: Mars, Space, United States, Utah
