Just want to mention a nice free e-mail account I came across, if you should need such a thing. It's new to me. No telling if it'll stick around, but it's offering a ton of features and decent space and an interesting domain name: http://www.ganja.ac/

Pat, if you don't mind, this is a great topic for which to post misc stuff which may not warrant an exclusive topic.

So, please, if you love the Hubble and the astounding photos it has given us, please go here and sign the petition to save the Hubble telescope.

Thanks, lcj! I signed the petition. I think the Hubble is too precious to abandon. Here's a hot link to Save the Hubble

Dear Fellow Petitioner,

30,000 strong and counting, our petition to pressure NASA to reevaluate
their decision regarding the fate of Hubble is having the desired
effect--recent news articles as posted on www.savethehubble.org report that
Congress has required NASA to seek outside validation of their decision by
the National Academy of Sciences.

Best regards,

This Political Cartoon is a good one!

Hi. I'm a bit late. We've had more stuff going on. I think that it's great to use this as a kind of miscellany and I signed the Hubble petition and will spread the word about it. Hope it helps.
