6535 Hound dogs, sunshine, french fries, and fresh cut lawns

The morning has arrived, and it will just have to wait outside, until I'm ready. A hot shower, maple oatmeal and a quick once over the journal before launch, first.

Hey, the Astronaut Jones theme is on the Tracy Morgan site again!

I need a new hat protect myself from the sun... my ball cap has been missing for weeks...maybe months. A visor would help out a great deal. I could stand to have a nice goofy-floppy one like Square Bear. Maybe as an added bonus, I'll get the power to summon an invisible motorcycle! (or share a lovely glass of wine?)

Frank R. Paul Gallery - great stuff. classic Sci-fi Pulp cover art. He's the guy responsible for all the giant saw-bladed, people strapped to lab tables and tentacled alien stuff I think of when reflecting on old SF. Also... just he name "Planet of the Knob Heads" cracks me up.

The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction has this to say about Frank R. Paul: "FRP is the best candidate for 'Father of Modern SF illustration', at least in the form it took in the pulp magazines. He received much of his education in Vienna, and studied also in Paris and New York. Trained as an architect, he was discovered by [editor] Hugo Gernsback in 1914 while working for a rural newspaper. Their names have been virtually inseparable ever since the days of Electrical Experimenter.

thank you for the Speak n Spell emulator! When I moved from the states I gave mine to a little boy who probably would get more use from it, but I miss it sometimes. It always reminded me of Kraftwerk. :)
