Thanks Greg, and welcome to FreeRepublic.
Everyone on the APoD list, how about a warm welcome — the photographer himself has joined us right-wing loonies.
Oh, sorry, only some of us are only right-wing, some are just loonies, only a few of us are right-wing loonies.
I’m a right wing/libertarian oriented loonie, which guarantees that I’ll be hated by pretty much everybody much of the time. lol
I do enjoy the flames though. Keeps me warm at night.
A great big welcome to you, Greg. It’s really nice to have you as a member of the group, and to look forward to seeing your work.
Thanks for the warm welcome - I may be the only left-winger aboard - but hey, I’m Canadian. The leftest of your left is righter than my right. ;)
I do however fit somewhere in the middle. I’m a capitalist who believes in social welfare, and I’m a gun-nut who believes in moderate gun-control. Even in Canada I have a hard time fitting in politically.
What I do believe is this - if you’re here, you care about your country. And that my friends aint half bad. ;)
Thanks for your comments on the shot. I’m an amateur shooter after a long layoff, but I’m more than pleased that APOD allowed me to be a part of that piece of Nasa history. It hasn’t been my first submission and won’t be my last I’m sure.
Keep looking up, keep our skies familiar, and keep an eye on this planet so our kids will be proud of our efforts.
