Had a MRI and was told I’m able to drive/travel, it’s 1,300+ miles non stop to Space X or bust….need to make a ENT surgery appointment to figure out if I’m a candidate for surgery 

Wife’s driving as I navigate & look for potential  stopping points as well as hotel reservations 

You only live once……

Faster than speed of light?

Evidently this antenna design was issued a patent. It was to send radio waves at faster than the speed of light. I was obviously skeptical but had to read the article.  I'm no physicist but exceeding the speed of light is impossible, at least as of now, probably forever.
I read the whole thing with great interest to see "how is this done?"  It turns out someone at the patent office was duped! Anyway, it's an amusing read. It had me hooked.

On another forum, a long running thread drifted to dogs waiting for the return of their deceased masters. That brought back a memory for me.
When i was a kid  my dad would detour now and then to visit the grave of Shep in Fort Benton. Even today I tear up when I remember the story of Shep.
