First off -- I got a sensational moon impact picture!

Heh.

The Blue Angels practiced yesterday and as they did so, the fog seemed to lift.

This is weird; them controlling the weather conditions like that.

It is most certainly a secret military weapon of some kind.

Good thing it's also being used in times of peace, huh?

Friday Five

At what age do you think it's appropriate for someone to get their driver's license?

Whenever they can pass a driving test and are able to safely operate a vehicle. I still don't understand the age limit thing where drivers' licenses are concerned.

At what age do you think it's appropriate for someone to first drink alcohol?

I came from a household where it was prevalent, and drank one bottle beer on New Years Day since I was twelve. Strangely enough, I've never had a problem with fire water as an adult. So I guess the answer still have to be 21 for the USA, but there's a lot to consider.

At what age do you think it's appropriate for someone to become sexually active?

That's a tough one. We're built to reproduce in our early teens and die when we're fifty, so this last two hundred years of civilization has been tough on our several million years of reproduction and longevity evolution parameters. I'll let the states decide this one.

At what age do you think it's appropriate for someone to vote in elections affecting national and/or local government?

Any emancipated minor or anybody over the age of 18 should be allowed to vote.

At what age do you think it's appropriate for someone to be conscripted for military service?

The current laws pertaining to this are all right.

Link is to the left, etc.

Alan and his family are driving back from Disneyland today.

He sent me a phone picture yesterday, and asked me if I could see the hidden Mickey:

Ahem. Most of Mickey was hidden, but some of him was strategically quite visible.

All right, that's it. Have an excellent Friday.
