Thursday
I have to log all my hours. I'm pretty sure I'm going to switch tasks at my day job. They want to take the task that I spend most of my time doing and outsource it. There are plenty of other tasks that I can do, but who knows what will happen. I hope to keep up the blog if I loose my job. The departments are consolidating at some point. I may not survive the combination.
I have TV night with friends tonight. They have TiVo so we watch an entire week of TV in one evening. It really is the only TV I watch these days besides some news.

Remote Control Plane
I saw a remote plane that is launched using a rocket. Apparently that is the lightest most fuel efficient way to make these little planes get to altitude. They fly for miles on batteries after that. Then, glide to a landing. I think they don't want the heat from a gas moder.
I've heard of a Nuclear Rocket that has amazing potential. The article says this may make a trip to Mars possible. The sheer length of time it takes to get to Mars makes human exploration unlikely for now. NASA says they have plants in mind that might make the trip. I can't imagine being cooped up in a capsule, or even one building for six months with no chance of getting out, They will probably have to recycle everything including water. Yuck. I'd need at least a replicator.

Those Frog Bastards
I can't believe it. Well, yes I can They are French after all. France changed the rout of The Tour de France to screw Armstrong. I hope a different American wins. I don't even like Armstrong that much. He is a Texan and an American. He just rubs me the wrong way. He reminds me of a used car salesman.
