6/22/1- Satellite tracking. My paranoia about space junk smacking me on the head like some galactic Bunny Fufu is increasing. Fun interactive site- is that the space station or a spent booster burning up over your house? Click on this and you can find lots more detail than you might want. The J-Track 3D is nifty.

"Did you know there are over eight thousand artificial objects orbiting Earth? Over 2,500 are satellites, operative and inoperative. The remaining objects are orbital debris: parts such as nosecone shrouds, lens, hatch covers, rocket bodies, payloads that have disintegrated or exploded, and even objects that "escape" from manned spacecraft during operations."

6/19/1- I've got a question about the patient's bill of rights that Edwards and McCain are pushing; who do you sue when your employer drops your insurance coverage and increases your wage by the amount you were paying for coverage, and says, "go find your own, here's your money"? Employers would be risking alot if they keep coverage, because the employee could potentially sue their employer for making poor choices in using the services of the insurance company that makes a bad call.

Oh well.
