Following up on the Apollo 11 post:  Did you know?

1. The Apollo 11 Lunar Lander only had about 20 seconds of fuel left when it landed.

2. Neil Armstrong had to dodge a house-sized boulder sitting in his landing spot.

2. Your cellphone has about 1000 times more computing power than the Lunar Lander.

3. When Buzz Aldrin followed Neil Armstrong out of the Lander, he had to be careful not to lock the door behind him. There was no outside door handle.

5. The American Flag left on the moon was made by Sears.

In another paean to Global Warming, today it made it to 90° here in Wilmington, but then tomorrow the high is supposed to be 80, with a 70 on Thursday. And a low in the low 50’s Thursday night.

Mobile, Alabama has been having their coldest July temperatures in almost 130 years. In fact all-time record coolest high temperatures for the month of July were set across much of the South. A few of the cities that set records are Memphis, Tennessee; Greenwood, Mississippi; and Longview, Texas.

And you thought cookies were bad.

There’s a new tracking system making its way around the Internet. It’s called Canvas Fingerprinting, and is almost impossible to block. And the few ways it can be blocked may make the cure as bad as the disease. Check it out.

For dinner Jan fixed a delicious Hot Dog Chili Casserole.

Hot Dog Casserole

The hot dogs are wrapped in pizza dough and then baked on a bed of Wolf Brand Chili, Bush’s Hot Chili Beans, and Habanero Rotel. Then topped with melted cheese. Very spicy and very, very good. And we’ve got enough for another meal.

Not sure what’ on the schedule for tomorrow. We’ll just have to see how it goes.

Thought for the Day:

They can have my Buckyballs when they pry them from my cold, dead hands.
