The joint NASA/ESA mission to Saturn is still turning out spectacular results.
This latest far-side photo, released this week, is worth a look.

quotes of note
"“Yes, reason has been a part of organized religion, ever since two nudists took dietary advice from a talking snake.”
— Jon Stewart..
"God is playing a comic to an audience that's afraid to laugh."
“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”
— Voltaire..
"What happens when we're dead? The irony is that all our questions will be answered after we die. We spend our whole life trying to figure out the truth and the only way we'll find out what it is, is to get hit by a bus. And the only comfort that religion offers is that God is driving that bus."
— John Ryman, "When Galaxies Collide"..
“Knock, And He'll open the door
Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun
Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens
Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.”
—Rumi.under the hood

Awesome. Far more fascinating than politics.
Oh please!
That’s faked in the same studio as the moon landings and you know it.
It’s well done though.
…….next you’ll be saying that Santa doesn’t exist Gunny.
Happy Holidays to all at 9,000′
Santa made an appearance at my wife’s daycare this afternoon.
As always, his appearance provoked a crying fit from virtually every child.
I suppose, since they never gave me any reason to ‘believe’ in Santa, I have another reason to thank my parents.
I will confess, though – just to ensure domestic tranquility, I allowed, when questioned by my offspring, that the Toothfairy and the Easter Bunny and Santa all lived together – one of these days I expect one of my kids to snap when they confront the term ‘menage a trois’ and realize it’s not the name of Santa’s playhouse.
99 problems but the bitch ain’t one.
