I recently watched the movie Smilla's Sense of Snow, which starts with an Inuit man standing at a hole waiting to harpoon a seal while his sled dogs lie around snoozing. Then they look up at this weird sound and there is a meteorite falling in the distance. This seems cool until the man and the dogs realize there is a huge tsunami of water and ice heading for them which they try to outrun, but they are eventually overwhelmed.


It was an impressive start to the movie, anyway.

Yeah that was a great movie, very sad though in the end. Hey HS, not sure if your interested but in the book, Smilla has a very interesting take on how to use your clitoris as a penis.  :o :))  It worked too.  ;)

According to Rosat twitterfeed http://twitter.com/#!/ROSAT_Reentry
looks like noon Sunday, best guess. It takes 90 minutes for rosat to go around our earth, according to it's 3 trajectory fields it is just south of Ontario into the U.S. But heads up west of Ontario.

Rosat is down (re-entered earths atmosphere). http://spacepolicyonline.com/pages/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1960:rosat-is-down&catid=91:news&Itemid=84


I can't tell from all the foreign jibberish, but it looks like its in the S. Atlantic between the continents of S.A. and S.A.

re-entry appears to have occurred within a range over China. They may now be considering removing the twitter ban.

A bit chilly today - 5° - might dip a bit below freezing tonight. Still, it is sunny and I'll don gloves and a warm jacket and get on my bicycle to run an errand downtown.

Hope your reading goes well, Mme B. When do you head East?

I'm on my way home from the Maritimes now.  Oh, but I'll be heading back there some day -- one week and three gorgeous provinces is certainly not enough time to do much of anything, what with all the goings-on we had!  I'm in Ottawa now, just landed this a.m., hanging out with m'girl! :applause
