If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.

A space fan has combined 600 photos from the International Space Station to create a video of the earth from above. Created by science teacher James Drake, the time lapse video has become a YouTube hit, watched almost 2.5million times since it was uploaded last week.
The clip travels from the Pacific Ocean south over the Americas before reaching Antarctica and sunlight.

Lucky to be alive after being upper body slammed by a 400-pound antelope at full speed. It looked to me like both were on their own courses with "blinders" on and that the antelope saw the biker only at the last second, tried to leap over him, but couldn't clear him in time. Wow!!! What a blow!!

That's a great video, Fishmonger. I used to live near the Huntington Gorge, and my son would go there with his friends. It's a huge magnet, but very treacherous. Fortunately, I think he's lived to outgrow it (he's 37).
