Congratulations to EJ and Odin on the hatching of their egg!!!
A brand new -- never been seen before -- major meteor shower will occur on the evening of 23-24 May. It'll likely produce 100-400 meteors per hour, but there's a possibility that it could turn into a BIG meteor storm of 1,000+ per hour. Not even the scientists are sure. The shower is debris from Comet 209P/LINEAR. Info: http://earthsky.org/space/comet-209p-linear-meteor-shower-storm-may-2014
You can watch live coverage of the new comet event online at the Slooh Observatory site: http://events.slooh.com/
I hope you all have a wonderful week. Peace and comfort to all who are suffering adversity.
HEATHER, I do admire your Dad, changing careers and doing something that he really wanted to do. A brave decision from a very brave man.
Yes BRENDA, it would have taken a lot of courage to defy family wishes in those days. He was meant to join his bachelor uncle in a country practice in Argyllshire but medicine just wasn't for him!!
