Today's Features

More years ago than I care to think about, I was in the Marine Corps.  Part of serving in the military is undergoing inspections; it was a regular thing.  Most units I served had daily inspection and formation just to make sure we showed up and looked presentable.  Then there were weekly inspections in the work area and in the barracks.  Those inspections were not really much of a problem.

The other night I looked up at the night sky and realized what an amazing thing was happening.  I don’t mean the stars.  Of course they are amazing, but that we can see them from light years away. Or consider the moon. On a clear night, we can see it’s mountains and craters with our naked eyes 250,000 miles away.  A quarter of a million miles!
