    Why wait until tomorrow? I'm on a plane in about 3 hours.
    That's just me, livin' on the edge. OK, so, I'm not quite at the 57th parallel, but I will be flying to the NorthEast USA. Does that count?

    Excellent, I'm having a bonfire out in the field tonight, and the weather has cleared up, so conditions look to be good. It will be a fun night... esp since the people showing up are a bunch of pyros and it's so wet here that you could drop in some napalm and not start much of a blaze...

    Skywatching for me tonight...

    I really, really hate the jewish mentallity. If the muslims killed others because they considered themselves the "chosen" ones, they would be labeled terrorists -

    - Oh wait.

    Get the fuck over yourselves and live in peace with rest of the world. You are NOT the chosen ones. Noone is for that matter - could you jews and the rest of you religous fanatics get on with your armageddon and get the fuck out of the way of progress? Please?
