As it wakens from its sleep mode, the ice cream factory’s industrial strength scanmegacopyprinter supplements its more mundane progress bar with an animation of the space shuttle launching, rendezvousing with the international space station, and opening its bay door to allow a culminating spacewalk.  Thank you scanmegacopyprinter software developers for this inspirational micro-cinematic interlude.

vintage 1977 han solo blaster pistol
My nephew, who is known by all as Uncle Dill, is turning five years old next week.  His parents will not let me give him a switchblade to mark this milestone, so I am doing the next best thing and giving him this fine weapon which I have carried for the last thirty years. He is a genuine Star Wars freak, so I think he is going to be very excited. I wish I could be there to see his face, but I will get to hear all about it when we meet them in Kingsport later this month.
