From Sunday Skies

Sunday, Nov. 02, 2008 - 8:13 a.m.

First, check out NaBloPoMo.

This stands for National Blog Posting Month, and the participants in this endeavor are all attempting to make a post a day for a month.

I'm on the list, of course, which means of course that I'll have writers block and there will be more late posts than usual.

Next -- the rain is still around on this early Sunday morning, but with more breaks than we had yesterday.

Speaking of things falling from the sky, according to Aero News Network, there's scheduled to be a re-entry of some space trash tonight.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the US Space Surveillance Network are tracking a 1,400-pound tank of toxic ammonia coolant jettisoned over a year ago from the International Space Station.

During the last year, the ammonia tank's orbit has slowly degraded due to gravity and atmospheric drag. Expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere Sunday afternoon or evening, the exact location where the refrigerator-sized tank will land remains unknown.

So if you're outside tonight for any reason, have your best colander on your head and look up.

I was looking at a Biography about Cher this morning as I was writing this post.

Did you guys know there was an almost equal amount of column inches devoted to the Sonny and Cher divorce as there was to the Nixon resignation?

I had forgotten what a big deal that couple actually was.

There ya go. Have a good Sunday.
