dogface nebula

And how clever is this? Panoramic photos taken from Kites. Here are all of the techy details. Better photos and more control than those taken by an X10 camera on a rocket.



There we were, left to study the molecular density of the donut; bombarding the sugar, fat, wheat array with overly excited electrons spat from the waveguide belly of a microwave domestic. Vibrationally excited population densities was what it was. Grandma would say it's just another way to heat up water. Yeah...but. Our water was precisely heated. Our donut was perfectly warmed. We controlled the plasma discharge. We decided the angular momentum and reflection coefficients.

Dry donut or not we're finding it hard to ignore the second snow fall of the week, splattering frostily onto the mid-May greenery. The first snowfall was cute, Ivory soap shavings parachuting down from the space station. Now it is maddening...sink drips on a sleepless night, papercut under a fingernail, red-faced penny tray scrounging to make up seventeen cents shortfall.

As the snow accumulates I entertain thoughts of illegal microwave modifications. Tin snips, sheet metal, voltage doublers, duct tape. Sporting a vivid green cape with microwave cannon strapped to belly I fly out the door (extension cord trailing) to vibrationaly excite this sorry mass of frozen water and get back our beloved Spring.
Hi Ho!
