Sunspot 1153 Brilliantly Explodes!

SOLAR ACTIVITY HEATS UP: Formerly quiet sunspot 1153 is suddenly crackling with C- and M-class solar flares. NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded this eruption during the waning hours of Feb. 8th:

Because sunspot 1153 is rounding the sun's western horizon, these eruptions are not Earth-directed. They are, however, Venus-directed. The second planet from the sun could receive glancing blows from solar plasma clouds in the days ahead. Readers with solar telescopes are encouraged to monitor the action.

The classiness of the thread just went up now that you’re here, ma’am.

Have you consulted humblegunner about the band name?

I wore that album out during the winter/spring of1972.

I think.

.....wait .....

What?

[50mm]

It’s too much work for me. You win.

I wore that album out during the winter/spring of1972.

There's a phrase that will soon make no sense to youth.

I wore out an Aqualung LP.

[Salamander]

“With You There To Help Me”, “To Cry You A Song” and “Nothing To Say” are from “Benefit”, not “Aqualung”.

“Look Into The Sun” was “Stand Up” and “Serenade To A Cuckoo” was “This Was”.

[so...what album *did* Shibumi wear out?]

:-P

[50mm]

I have “Benefit” and 5 other Jethro Tull albums . I played “Aqualung” more than “Benefit” and wore it out.

[Salamander]

I have them *all* [vinyl, when they were available and CDs]
, including his solo albums and several bootlegs.

:-P
