[Grovenet] Fw: A little astronomy Maestro, if you please!]

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

That's another word that isn't in my lexicon: should.

Something is, or it is not. To paraphrase Yoda, there is no "should". 

Life is painful, sometimes awful beyond belief or understanding but it is
always beautiful and majestic beyond human comprehension. 

I'm a firm believer of eating right. What I put in myself becomes myself.
That is not only the physical substance I need, but the ideas, the thoughts
and the idle daydreams.

Now, before we get too "heavy" over this little video, it was fun, it was
interesting and I liked it a great deal. Thanks, Kate, for sharing it. All I
chose not to not and absorb into my psyche was the last line. It wasn't
good.

Ron,

The closing line was the old joke, "Hope for intelligent life  
somewhere in space, because there is none here on earth."

noun: "Bugger all", Little or nothing at all.

After all of discussions about elections and administrations, this  
should be a valid joke.

I enjoyed the presentation, and recognized the song by the second  
line, although I could no have given the words.  It was just one of  
those ditties that makes an impression.

David
