“In 1972, an unusually bright meteor from space was witnessed bouncing off Earth’s atmosphere, much like a skipping stone can bounce off of a calm lake. The impressive event lasted several seconds, was visible in daylight, and reportedly visible all the way from Utah, USA to Alberta, Canada. Pictured above, the fireball was photographed streaking above Teton mountains behind Jackson Lake, Wyoming, USA.” http://www.phys.ncku.edu.tw/~astrolab/mirrors/apod_e/ap090302.html

Tea in Moganshan on a misty Saturday morning. (More from China to follow, now that I see Tumblr, unlike FB, Twitter and even Picasa, may actually be accessible here.)

But too many times, after the election is over, and the confetti is swept away, all those promises fade from memory, and the lobbyists and the special interests move in, and people turn away, disappointed as before, left to struggle on their own.
