and pride
Life on Mars...
Yesterday, the Mars Exploration Rovers turned 3!! Happy birth.. no launch.. no landing.. oh heck.. WOOOOHOOO Mars rovers! (it’s their landing date actually for you fact hungry readers). Let me ask you this, since when does any kind of technology that had a guarantee of 3 months last 3 years and is still going strong? AND getting BETTER! The folks at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have something to be proud of! The Rovers now have some new technology to assist them in the quest for new information on the Red Planet… They’ve taught the rovers a few new tricks (roll over rover?) Beautiful pictures taken by the rovers..  This was taken by Spirit, one of NASA’s Mars Exploration Rovers on May 19th, 2005, it’s a stunning view as the Sun sinks below the rim of Gusev crater.

I was actually at that Elton John Ocncert. Thanksgiving night 1974.
And John Lennon showed up. Which ended up being his last live performance before his death.
Me and Rich.. together - floor seats .. no one around us as Kiki Dee played... then intermission and all of a sudden all these people came and sat down around us.. all wearing backstage passes...
and right behind us.. yup yup .. Mom & Dad Dwight... his parents!
Vince
thanks.. found it googling for headers.. guess who's blog came up on the first page?!
Sounds like a fantastic concert... you'll have to tell us all more about the concerts you've been to...
well.. your favorites.. ok?
and his parents??? WOOOOOOOO!!!
hokey smokeys batman... interesting the things you will find when you google...
might think about the concert thing...
Yes Ann....what a great blog. I love Elton John too...what a entertainer~!
Very cool 13 this time. Very cool songs. I think it is a shame that the space program has fallen on such hard times, we should be off exploring space and opening that final frontier, but instead politicans are pinching pennies for something that could be one of the most important things for mankind. It's a shame.
Some cool pictures too.
Excellent song! That is one of my favorite Rush songs.
Great theme!
Fun TT :)
oh querida fantastic tunes there I am going to spend my whole day on your blog listening!

beautiful pics! this was an awesome idea.
I can't listen to these here at work, but some I know and some I don't. Good TT!
Nice! I was really into all that space stuff when I was growing up. I guess I still am to some extent. Hugs!
Great pics and great tunes.
OK..I came here and am going to everyone of my friend's blogs to WHINE....I never get challanged, or tagged, or even read much any longer. So I think I will just go away, poof out of site (blog site. My feelings are hurt, I miss everyone, I want to be part of all of this..but I'll just go sit in the corner and suck my thumb.
