It's been up there quite awhile, but, this morning I watched the International Space Station (ISS)
pass over the ol' burg!  First time I had a chance to watch with clear skies, and I couldn't believe how easy it was to see.  You should check it out.
NASA has a sign-up (your zipcode) and will email you time, direction on horizon to watch, and degree of arc overhead, plus how many minutes it takes to cross from horizon to horizon.  It's pretty cool, I think!!
You can watch earth from the ISS too, on Ustream no less.  That's my alternative view-screen if the eagles aren't around!

eburg!   :) That ISS-to-Earth cam is pretty cool, isn't it?  I try to keep up with what's happening at NASA and watch the ISS pass overhead when I get the chance.  It's orbit is not so high, so it is easy to see if you have clear skies when it's orbit is overhead at night, especially when the moon is not near it.  I love it on the rare occasion that I get to show it to one of my neighborhood kids, too.  I most recently got to see it pass over my place about a week and a half ago, or so...  I don't know why, but I really enjoy watching it... maybe because when I was a little kid, my dad would take me out at night to watch Sputnik traverse our night sky!

Puzzling over lack of puzzles here!
This threads been ignored and it lacks it usual cheer!
Games and Fun Facts are all okay,
but I like to work puzzles,
And with my times....
In the worst way!!!
Hope to see some changes here
Puzzle-masters, I revere
the work you do
for all us
How 'bout a "puzzle"
to satisfy us!

Please, please, please!!!   :P ::)  ;D

I just tried uploading two of Mom & Dad and for some reason it wouldn't do it.  Will try again.   :(

Also the Jewell thread (the bears) has a puzzle every morning.

Thanks, Nora!  You and JP post some great puzzles here and in the Decorah Lounge's Puzzle thread, and I appreciate that so much!  Thanks to all who take the time to post and share wonderful puzzles from photos and other images here and elsewhere in Forum.  :)

Thanks baz and Nora,
I'm well aware,
Of all the puzzles
Offered there.

But my point is this
Please understand,
It's an "Oliverian Twist...
Like Dickens!...
I had in mind!

So pardon my pleas!
Leave me alone.
I just want a puzzle
To work here at home!!!   :P

It's a great one - you mean this one posted by Nora in the Puzzles thread in Decorah Lounge a few days ago? - at this Forum link?
