This week's presentation at the Kopernik Observatory & Science Center was Tour Of The Solar System by Rick Kline of the Spacecraft Planetary Imaging Facility (SPIF). It was an lecture illustrated by images sent back by spacecraft, and included interesting side notes like how the wheels on the Curiosity Rover leave Morse code tracks across the face of Mars.
The highlight of the show was the Magic Planet display, product of Global Imagination, onto which he projected maps of the planets, to the oohs and aahs of the audience. He started with the Sun, shown here, and did all the planets as they came up.
A friend of a friend of mine is actually quite talented at card tricks. This guy actually makes me question if magic is real. He jokingly asked if I wanted to wager any money.

magic bus - the who
Every day I get in the queue (Too much, the Magic Bus)
To get on the bus that takes me to you (Too much, the Magic Bus)
I'm so nervous, I just sit and smile (Too much, the Magic Bus)
Your house is only another mile (Too much, the Magic Bus)
Thank you, driver, for getting me here (Too much, the Magic Bus)
You'll be an inspector, have no fear (Too much, the Magic Bus)
I don't want to cause no fuss (Too much, the Magic Bus)
But can I buy your Magic Bus? (Too much, the Magic Bus)
Nooooooooo!
A magic yarn ball is a ball of yarn with various surprises and goodies wrapped inside. As the recipient of the ball unwinds it through crafting (or just excitement), the prizes fall out!
The search today for a missing dog in foster care was unsuccessful. There were however 2 sightings, and one very close - but Nikita's fear of people, outweighed her hunger (she broke out of her collar on Dec. 20th, and has been on the run since).
This photo is another dog called Magic, currently in foster care (was rescued with Nikita). She is not doing well in the foster home she is currently in, as she is nipping at the kids, and the children are not following the directions being given to them about the dog.
Looks like I will be taking this sweet gal in as my next foster, in a few weeks - as she really took a shine to me, and there are no children in my house hold. I just wanted to get through the bone biopsy with my hand, and have some time to recover, so that I will be able to give her the attention she needs (and I need 2 hands to walk her and Buster ;)
Magic was rescued with approximately 65-70 other dogs, that were living with a hoarder. Obviously the first 8 years of her life were lived in fear, unsanitary conditions, and cramped living quarters.
I got this really cute Corelle Holiday Magic set at Goodwill. It's missing two mugs.
I love it!!
I also got this super Spice-o-Life board.
Not sure if it's for cutting things on or just setting hot things on.
Owen and his team from the school "Magic Bowl" (a contest about knowledge of a series of books). His team didn't win, but they did very well.
Today I introduced my new Pygmy Unicorn, Heihei and Mini Dragon Spirit, Magic to my Lati dolls.... :D Let's say they are quite popular amongst my girls. Ami fell in love with Magic instantly! <3 Well Magic likes Ami too :D But Magic likes everyone :D
magic & mystery in tibet by alexandra david-néel
Alexandra David-Néel (born Louise Eugénie Alexandrine Marie David; 24 October 1868 – 8 September 1969) was a Belgian–French explorer, spiritualist, Buddhist, anarchist and writer.[a][b][c] She is most known for her 1924 visit to Lhasa, Tibet, when it was forbidden to foreigners. David-Néel wrote over 30 books about Eastern religion, philosophy, and her travels, including Magic and Mystery in Tibet, which was published in 1929. Her teachings influenced the beat writers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, the popularisers of Eastern philosophy Alan Watts and Ram Dass, and the esotericist Benjamin Creme.
When the storm approaches
The sky first turns dark-green, then black
Hot drizzle falls before the mighty shower strikes
Beware and seek shelter at the roots of a big tree!
It’s the moment when the mighty ghosts appear
And angrily roam the twilight jungle....
(legend of the Kayan people, see www.authorsden.com/franzkessler)
