Just Because...

Some time ago there was a small space capsule that was sent into space with memorabilia from planet Earth. It contained tools and information in the hopes that if it should be discovered by other life, it would convey something about us.

What value would there be in sending a Chuck Berry song into space? What leads us to think that "whatever"might find it actually communicated in images and symbols? Maybe some bugs are smart and are talking to us all the time but as intelligent as I (think) am, I don't understand bug nor do I endeavor to.

The scientists that sent it off were asked these types of questions. Their reply was: "Just because a message may not be received does not mean it is not worth sending."

True.

So, I will try to make this blog more than a diary, more than exercise in HTML self-pleasure. I won't be getting too personal-some things will remain private. You might not like everything I write nor agree with it. That's OK. The saying goes, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. But, most things in kitchens tend to be damned yummy!

More later....
