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.”</p> <p><a href="http://www.phys.ncku.edu.tw/~astrolab/mirrors/apod_e/ap090302.html">http://www.phys.ncku.edu.tw/~astrolab/mirrors/apod_e/ap090302.html</a></p>http://charlesmonaco.com/post/43286080525http://charlesmonaco.com/post/43286080525Sat, 16 Feb 2013 23:42:22 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1u7rfvncz1r4qjcho1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Break for tea and wifi in Xing Ping, 4/2.</p>http://charlesmonaco.com/post/20337234194http://charlesmonaco.com/post/20337234194Mon, 02 Apr 2012 01:40:26 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1s0gqGTH71r4qjcho1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Sunday breakfast, outside Yangshuo.</p>http://charlesmonaco.com/post/20258248187http://charlesmonaco.com/post/20258248187Sat, 31 Mar 2012 21:07:38 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1q3b0WxXs1r4qjcho1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Tea in Moganshan on a misty Saturday morning. </p> <p>(More from China to follow, now that I see Tumblr, unlike FB, Twitter and even Picasa, may actually be accessible here.)</p>http://charlesmonaco.com/post/20196212422http://charlesmonaco.com/post/20196212422Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:13:48 -0400“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.”<br/><br/> - <em> Barack Obama, <a href="http://www.gwu.edu/~action/2008/obama/obama021007sp.html">announcing</a> his campaign for President, five years ago today.</em>http://charlesmonaco.com/post/17372972562http://charlesmonaco.com/post/17372972562Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:22:20 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lslslpv4vi1r4qjcho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://charlesmonaco.com/post/11065058484http://charlesmonaco.com/post/11065058484Wed, 05 Oct 2011 13:29:48 -0400
