[history]
During the cold war, JFK claimed to have gone to the moon. He got congress to spend billions on his moon landing and pretended america landed there, convincing congress to give him billions, the fakeness of the landing is well documented.
It seems to me that this liberal moneybags, that he took these billions for personal use, or maybe gave them to the USSR (we all know he was soft on communism)
Perhaps his death was similarly staged in order to keep his billions or keep congress of his case.
I wonder if under an obama administration we will see more moon landings.

"... could be interesting -- starting right out I've got over 17000 characters including spaces (it appears the Germans size articles by characters, not words) and the limit is 5000, so not only only is there a change of focus but a LOT of cutting." In a way, it now makes sense that German words run to such length. They leave out the spaces. Wirklichkeit.
We were lucky. We learned to add Latin and Greek prefixes and suffixes instead of whole words or English would be even more like German than it is.
Halt.

From those equations, it seems inherently obvious that the greatest speeds can be achieved, (along with aerodynamic maneuverability), from a thin wedge shape rather than a cone.
Of course, one garners the same advantage with a flying saucer profile, along with the ability to dissipate heat more readily.
Besides, Klaatu said that middle factor was unimportant.

YOWTCH!! Not that bad. At least half the material (the first half) can be summarily cut with a new intro added, and some intervening material shortened, with the final sections amplified a bit for the different target audience.

5:40’s my normal time, but I think I may have a touch of SAD this winter — I’m disliking the dark and wanting to sleep until there’s some light out.

"An upbeat outlook correlates positively with longevity. " Translation: "Slow down. You move too fast."
"You've got to make the morning last."

Oh yes, agglutination. That would make sense.
However, stop signs in Germany say "STOP".

"You've got to make the mourning last." Time sufficient to properly process grief is also important.

I prefer to do the morning first, followed by lunch and a nap.

And “properly process(ed) grief” is transformative.
Why else would that revered philosopher Charles M. Schultz have continuously reminded us of the benefits of “Good Grief”?

I rather tend to start my days in the morning too. On workdays in the office lunch is usually concluded before noon, after which I slog on to the bitter end at 4 PM (16:00), when I make my way homewards (this time of year) through the ever-deepening gloom.
(And it gets *really* dark here in winter, as our rector learned to his surprise 3 years ago.)

It’s dark here, too, although not quite as early. The dragons are feeling winter-solstice-y and emerging from their burrows only briefly each day.
And speaking of burrows, time to head for mine, with the cat Wednesday. We’ve knocked out two new songs for Sunday, which we can practice with at least some of our choir members tomorrow. Mexican traditional songs have totally predictable melodies, just like cowboy ballads.

Charles Schultz was a treasure. Lost somewhere in the library downstairs* is a book of another set of cartoons of his, centered around high-school students in a church youth group, ca. 1960. Some of the cartoons are timeless, I think, but others evoke that time so well...
* Sigh. Have yet to get around to sorting the collection. Right now the Russian shelf (fiction & nonfiction both, excluding Russian SF) is right next to the political/philosophy shelves, right across from the now-ancient technology shelf (early 70s IC catalogs and design guides plus ca 1960 vacuum-tube technical catalog). And the Persian shelf is between the Bible/Christian shelves and the French-language books... you get the picture.

Good night then, and we'll see you tomorrow (with) Wednesday. This is as far north as I've lived, and now is very much the darkest time.
LoM is fluent in Spanish and an old hat with rancheras (at Mexican restaurants I occasionally have to remind her she doesn't need to sing along)... she'd probably fit right into your choir.

"And the Persian shelf is between the Bible/Christian shelves and the French-language books... you get the picture." Just make sure you save about three inches of shelf space.

Of course, in truth you should have a section for advanced social relationships, studies of.
If you want to use more than three inches of shelf space, I’ll work on filling it up.

I keep my Outlook along with my other office programs looking up beat.
