August 5, 2013: Something big is about to happen on the sun. According to measurements from NASA-supported observatories, the sun's vast magnetic field is about to flip.

Facebookers will definitely have a hard time of it, which will be a very good thing. Somehow humans made it a very long time before we were able to harness electricity.

Glad our Lab has finally stopped the habit of eating all the magnets off the fridge.

I agree. We know his mind wasn’t on ‘the present’ when he hit the tree but was somewhere else. Probably the reason on the skis to begin with - to free his mind - but it didn’t work.

I would have to believe that if Sonny were still alive he would intentionally run into a tree after seeing what Cher and her friends did to his daughter.

Ironically Sonny was very understanding and accepting, it was Cher that wouldn't accept this crap.
