Mostly from a puzzled males perspective as he enjoys the ride of his life through space and time in the company of friends and with music in his ears. Aided by technology and an inherent love of all things mechanical. From astronomy to muzic and eclectic thoughts in between...RobChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10906914888029961524noreply@blogger.comBlogger500125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581577.post-51951812384865818442009-11-26T16:29:00.006+02:002009-12-01T19:38:12.978+02:00

Ironic that a staunch proponent of Atheism gets a Bible Advert on his Blog... maybe someone is trying to tell Charles something? I used to frequent his blog but then something happened when Obama came on the scene... LFG went to the Darkside!Update: 01-12-2009Somehow I can no longer access his blog... I think he has banned me!

This is our own Galaxy the Milky Way, our solar systems home in the Universe. Home to an estimated 200 to 400 Billion stars, just in one Galaxy! There are an estimated 100 Billion Galaxies in the observable Universe.God knows each star by name, (He heals the broken hearted... He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name.Psalms 147: 3-4) , each person by name ("See, I have written

This is a picture of Sol (25 Nov. 2009), our closest star in sleepy mode showing no sunspots at all. This is unusual because according to the past records the sun should have arisen from it's slumber of 11 yearly sunspot cycles. At the same time the earth and other planets in the Solar System have shown a downward trend in surface temperature, something that did not match the information from the

D'Agostino, typical of the genre...I laughed myself silly... This reminded me of all the Trinity movies with Terrence Hill (Mario Girotti) and Bud Spencer (Carlo Pedersoli) we used to watch in the drive in. Hope you all enjoy it too.Of course there were the more serious ones starring Clint Eastwood and many other actors of note. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly being the one I remember most and the

Enjoy! thanks to Donna... by the way KatieB is celebrating her birthday today, wishing her all the best and many more! I think the quote I found is apt, through the Reformation that he started many souls have come to shout Hallelujah!"My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary."

After seeing what was on the market and what I had in the junkbox I decided to Pooratech an extended screen for my KLR, and this was the result so far. Call it some backyard R&D if you will.

I often wondered why Cavemen and other Neolithic tribes painted on cave walls and rock faces maybe now I have one reason.They were men and us men are useless at talking... but very good at using our hands so we tend to let our hands do the talking but this seldom has the required result when it comes to communicating with the fairer sex.Our paintings and handiwork is not understood by our

Buell is no more...Harley Davison has canned Buell and will be selling MV Agusta as well.I personally think this is a serious error but who am I to question Corporate America? They obviously know what they are doing? Just like GM sold the Hummer to China? I think it was the Japanese that once said "Stop selling your companies if you do not want us to own them".So much expertise is lost when this

Sometimes music can really stir one's soul, especially if the performer is putting his heart and soul into the piece... watch and feel the goosebumps. There is quite a few of Maxim Mrvica's performances on YouTube, try and watch them all, you will be enthralled.Of course the music brings back childhood memory's of drive in movies with my parents and brothers, where I remember hearing this music

Or so I thought, this past Saturday I was gobsmacked when virtually the whole Quad class ignored this most basic of signs and proceeded to blast over the crossing at top speed. Of course the subsequent list of exclusions from the day's results was not taken well by many. Unfortunately I am not letting safety take a second place to popularity or convenience,

I miss you like the desert's miss the rain...Where do you go to my lovely...Please don't go... you're the only Angel I know...Just some songs from No Mercy that help pass the time while MD is away in Johannesburg...

another word for Forever or as we Christians believe, Heaven... how do we get there... easy, simple, listen to this song and find the hidden meaning that got planted there by the Holy Spirit when I started playing this song a few times...Here are the lyrics with some "keys" in the url links...

While the world seems to be in shock it forgets how Hamas uses the funds it gets from outside.The anti Israel block decries the support Israel receives in aid from the west but forgets to mention that the same amount of financial support goes to the Palestinians as well.The crux of the matter is the application of this money...Israel builds better facilities for it's citizens... the palistinians

Many years ago a group of well meaning Christians layed hands on me and asked God that my right leg be "healed" in the sense that it would grow back to the length it was before the accident that had shortened it... nothing happened and they were quite surprised that nothing had happened... but I was not dissapointed as far as I was concerned it was a miracle that I still had my leg... seeing more
