well,private enterprise had to step in with this.the U.S can no longer afford it and running to the russians every ttime something was needed as the iss must of been a pain
6:30 am
sprite
it is fascinating and amazing to me. But on the other hand I worry about all the stuff we are leaving in space now... I mean... huge 'plasticbergs' in the sea, radioactive stuff we cannot get rid off... and now all that junk in space.
6:31 am
carleekat
i do too sprite... i do too....I am really curious about all the stuff that was swept into the ocean from the tsunami...and its starting to arrive on west coast
6:34 am
sprite
I read an article on those plasticbergs... huge islands collecting in the oceans made of plastic waste. Tiny sea life using it for breeding places... plastic getting into them, into the bigger fish, into birds...
6:34 am
sprite
sorry crossy... did not mean to rain on your parade. It IS historic.
6:35 am
carleekat
wonder when they are going to send a man up?
6:35 am
crosshair
sprite...there is a facillity in france,it houses radiactive waste tailing from nuclear reactors,it is above ground at this time and is the size of a football field.the japan tsunami has made them design a underground bunker for this waste. they are making special concrete,and the waste will be encapsulated in this and buried a mile deep.they are now making a warning marker for it in french and english and about 8 other languages,they are also making pictographs for the marker cause this stuff has a halk-life of 10,000 years and french might become a dead language before this stuff is safe to go near....do not worry overmuch about space junk lol
6:35 am
sprite
cannot be too far into the future, carlee, I think
6:35 am
carleekat
one would think that nasa should be co-operating..and many of their engineers must now be working for spacex
6:36 am
sprite
lol crossy! Yeah, exactly, that kind of worry. About our earth and about space.

well, we have some bushes outside of our front door (im not sure of the type) and there is some sort of whiteness on the leaves. not sure if its mold, fungus, disease, or what. just wondering what i should do about it...
9:50 am

Generally if I'm not sure what to plant, or how to plant it, I look it up or ask at the garden center.
9:51 am

Hard to tell without seeing it. That is like calling the mechanic and telling him your car is making a ka-thunk noise. : )

9:53 am

you can use a mild detergent, like dish soap mixed with water, spray it on and see if the white stuff goes away. if it's on the bark, you should probably talk to a nursery.

6:05 pm
crosshair
A tuque (Canadian English: /tuËk/, also spelled toque but still pronounced tuque), knit cap (American English), or beanie (UK English and AE), also variously known as a knit hat, toboggan, burglar beanie or stocking cap among other names – is a knitted cap, originally of wool though now often of synthetic fibers, that is designed to provide warmth in winter. Most tuques are tapered; they sometimes have ear flaps, and may be topped with a pom-pom (this style of tuque is sometimes referred to as a bobble hat, boggan or sherpa). Tuques may have a folded brim, or none, and may be worn tightly fitting the head or loose on top although the latter is considered more standard.
