...and guess who the sunshine is for today? Well, me, of course! I'm hogging it all :)))
Yes, it's my birthday today. I figured I might as well embrace it! :)))
Some sunny quotes to go along with this sunny, orangey, peachy creation! :)
☀ Nothing gets more beautiful than the sunshine caressing the face of a sweetheart.
Lamar Cole
☀ A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.
Max Muller
☀ A good laugh is sunshine in the house.
William Makepeace Thackeray
And a bonus...
☀ A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.

We paid $1.00 for the Star Trek Giant Poster Book, Voyage Four, Stardate 7612.01 magazine from 1976 (the yardsale people told us it was 1972). Original series Klingons are kinda hard to recognize as Klingons...

BAE Systems Typhoon
The UK Typhoon BT17 will take to the skies above Fairford on all three show days, with BAE Systems Experimental Test Pilot, Nat Makepeace, at the controls. The display will demonstrate the Typhoon carrying four Meteor Beyond Visual Range Air to Air missiles, two Brimstone 2 low collateral precision strike weapons, two ASRAAM missiles and two Paveway IV laser guided precision weapons. This is one of the first times a Typhoon aircraft has flown with weapons fit, this demonstrates the significant milestones which have been achieved towards the integration of these new capabilities, providing the combat pilot with a full range.
A significant contracted programme of work is currently being conducted by the Eurofighter Partner Companies, with the support of MBDA, Eurofighter GmbH and the UK Ministry of Defence, towards the integration Phase 2 and Phase 3 Enhancement packages for Typhoon.

Assignment: PCA64
Deadline: May 10th, 2009
Mission:I wanted to set an assignment that would make us think about ourselves as well as our photographic techniques so here goes… In these gadget-filled days of the 21st century, what are the things that really matter to us?This week’s mission is to capture an image of what’s most important to you.
WIT: It started about a year ago; I've been adding bits of poems, lyrics, idiomatic expressions or other words to embellish my shots. When I thought about this assignment, I was torn between two ideas. I settled on this shot. What's important to me? Words, communicating. I need it. This is a shot of a few of the hundreds of books I own. This is how they were on the shelf. I just stooped and shot and posted.
T.S. Eliot: "For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice."

We got some decent stuff. We gave the SlipNSlide to Makepeace (which resulted in finding out about a party we didn't know about, which resulted in a lot of shenanigans). We have a lot of extra wireless routers now, which came in handy 6 months later when we had to purchase a new washing machine with wifi support. We gave the SpongeBob Operation game to Sean. The solar light sucks and didn't work well. And we are always looking for extra boomboxes for our central house music.

Comparison of old $2 yardsale card shuffler compared to new $3 yardsale shuffler. It's definitely a better unit!
We used the new card shuffler when we played Last Night On Earth and RoboRally with friends.
