Two-Thousand-Mile-Long Fish In Orbit Around Jupiter

This false-color image was created by selecting and combining the best images obtained from many short VISIR exposures at a wavelength of 5 micrometers. Credit: ESO/L. Fletcher

What,

do you think this was our Sun?

It's the highest-resolution map to date of
Jupiter.

Taken by the

NASA"s

Juno

Spacecraft.

It will be arriving,

to orbit
Jupiter,

on
July 4th.

"The false-color thermal infrared image shows temperature, weather, and cloud patterns in Jupiter's atmosphere, which takes up most of the planet."

Yes I agree,

you have to be a scientist to be able to understand what you are

looking at.

It is exciting though.

Check

NASA's

website after you recover from you outdoor grilling,

and beer drinking swilling,

from the long up-n-coming weekend.

Where the only celestial bodies you will be thinking about are the women running around in their summer clothes.

I might be older,

but I'm not dead.

It is OK to look,

as long as you don't touch.

And,

"A giant, two-thousand-mile-long fish in orbit around Jupiter, according to a reliable report in the Weekly World News. The photograph was very convincing, and I'm only surprised that more-reputable journals like New Scientist, or even just The Sun, haven't followed up with more details. We should be told.”

Take Me Out To The Ballgame!

It's as old as

Apple Pie.

It was once the most popular sport in the

United States.

It's

Popcorn,

Peanuts,

and

Cracker Jack.

It is

Americana.

The Major League

All Star Game

is held after the

July 4th Holiday.

This year it will be in beautiful

San Diego.

I know it is beautiful because I live close by

and have been there many times.

I am going to a

Major League Baseball Game

tonight.

The home team,

The Milwaukee Brewers,

will be hosting

The Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Brewers may no longer be the

Bambi Bombers

of old,

who under manager

George Bamberger,

had such great players that included

Robin Yount,

Paul Molitor,

Cecil Cooper,

Gorman Thomas

and

Ben Oglivie.

That team took the

Brewers

to the

World Series

in 1982.

They took the

St. Louis Cardinals

to a seventh game in that series before finally losing in the closing innings.

I don't know if I am going to buy

Popcorn,

Peanuts,

or

Cracker Jack.

I do know that I'll buy at least one beer.

What the Hell.

Milwaukee

is famous for it's

Breweries,

and I am famous for drinking their wares.

No I am not drinking

and driving,

Mom!

Here to sing

"Take Me Out To The Ballgame"

is none other than

William Hung.

Who was so bad on

American Idol

in

Season Three,

that the crowd cheered him on

and he became a cult hero of sorts.

We all know him

and love him,

William Hung!

This is,

I Do Not Really Drink Any Longer,

So Let Us See If I Have More Than One Beer,

Trying To Learn New Things All The Time

I wrote a Post once,

where I explained,

why I write this Blog.

The Post is called

What The Hell Is This Blog All About?

If you want to understand why I am putting out these

Headlines

and accompanying

Paragraphs,

read that Post

and you will understand.

"Southwest Research Institute's, Dr. Alex Parker, discovers moon over Makemake in the Kuiper Belt"
on EurekAlert.org
San Antonio -- June 27, 2016 -- A Southwest Research Institute-led team has discovered an elusive, dark moon orbiting Makemake, one of the "big four" dwarf planets populating the Kuiper Belt region at the edge of our solar system.

"NASA's IMERG measures deadly West Virginia flooding rainfall"
on EurekAlert.org
At NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, NASA's Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) data were used to create an analysis to estimate rainfall that fell over West Virginia during the period from June 20 through 26, 2016. The IMERG analysis showed that extreme rainfall occasionally occurred during this period in an area extending from Illinois through North Carolina.

"Ancient 'Deep Skull' from Borneo full of surprises"
on EurekAlert.org
Sydney - A new study of the 37,000-year old remains of the "Deep Skull" - the oldest modern human discovered in island South-East Asia - has revealed this ancient person was not related to Indigenous Australians, as had been originally thought.

"Mobile, phone-based microscopes work well in the field with minimal training"

on EurekAlert.org

TORONTO, June 27, 2016 - Handheld, mobile phone-based microscopes can be used in developing countries after minimal training of community laboratory technicians to diagnose intestinal parasites quickly and accurately.

"Computer model demonstrates how human spleen filters blood"
on EurekAlert.org
Researchers, led by Carnegie Mellon University President Subra Suresh and MIT Principal Research Scientist Ming Dao, have created a new computer model that shows how tiny slits in the spleen prevent old, diseased or misshapen red blood cells from re-entering the bloodstream. Members of this multidisciplinary team include specialists in mathematics, supercomputing, clinical medicine, engineering and computational biology.

I am positive,

that you can see,

that I have found a new website to go to for my my daily dose of

Scientific News.

And,

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more things you learn, the more places you will go."

When You Have Overnight Guests, Please Let The Office Know.

Did you hear about the

Son

who left

Wisconsin

to move to

California

because he couldn't stay out of trouble?

Yeah,

I haven't heard that one either.

If you read my Post,

I Am Now A Contributing Member Of Society

you know the story about what happened to me on my way to Wisconsin.

If you haven't read it,

I suggest you do it right away.

In that Post I tell the tale on how I disrupted the quiet tranquility of a

55 & Older Apartment Community.

How they will have something to gossip about for at least the rest of the month.

On how my Dad decided that the best course of action,

when I came into town,

was to sneak me into his apartment so the management would not be the wiser.

On how that blew up into his face,

when on the very next morning,

the Police were called in about a damaged

Fiat 500 Sport,

with California licence plates sitting in the guest parking lot.

Of course,

it was all straightened out

and my daughter's car was not impounded

or towed away.

Still,

there had to be some kind of repercussion for the blatant disregard of apartment rules,

shown by my

Father.

Without pointing fingers,

on the very next day,

inside the apartment's elevator read a typed written sign,

That is what I like about being me,

people take notice when I am around
and change the rules.

I am instrumental in one change at this apartment complex because of one incident.

Which raised the level of excitement around the place for at least a day.

This is,

For My Next Trick,

I Am Going To Have To Think About That Though,

Because I Already Raised The Bar So High,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

"It is an exciting adventure, doing what you love."

- Lailah Gifty Akita -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!

Go Fund Someone On A Go Fund Me Page

I have talked many times before,

on how wonderful the

Internet

can be if it is used for the right reasons.

Particularly,

I have mentioned the
Micheal Belcher Go Fund Me
page.
A really good person who is suffering from
Cancer
for the second time in his life.
You can go to his
Go Fund Me Page
and donate whatever amount you can afford,
which will help him
and his family,
curb the overwhelming cost it takes to fight this horrid disease.

Today,

I read another wonderful story coming out of Memphis,
where a person is using the
Go Fund Me Website
to help a homeless sixteen year old.

"Teen asks for doughnuts, gets over $200K in online donations."
By Sarah Tisinger for WQAD.com
"When 16-year-old Chauncy Black of Memphis, Tennessee, approached shopper Matt White last week, the man responded by buying him a whole cart of groceries. White then established a Go Fund Me Page in hopes of raising $250 to buy the teen a lawnmower so Chauncy could earn money mowing lawns. White said the page caught Fire, and donations started pouring in. As of Saturday afternoon, donations had reached nearly $210,000."

See what can happen when good people band together to help someone less fortunate.
Did you see the part where they started their page only a week ago?
Someone upstairs is looking out for that kid.
I hope I have at least motivated one individual to go to the
Go Fund Me Website
and find a needy individual
or family that could use our help.
Yes,
I have donated,
and will donate in the future.
I donate to the
Micheal Belcher Fund
whenever I can.
Think of it this way.
What if you needed financial help someday because you became ill,
do to
Cancer?
If you give,
Karma
will reward you!
What you give selfishly,
always comes back to you when you need it.
I believe it,
because it happens to me all the time.

This is,

What Goes Around,

Comes Around,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

"It is the apathetic person that sees the cause while the charitable person sees the need."

A Government Of The people, By The People, And For The People.

At least none of my kids have followed in their

Father's

footprint as far as drinking goes.

😀

www.change.org

My friend,

"Electric Dave,"

as he was called when we played together in

Rock Bands

during the 1980's,

has recently emailed me about an injustice happening today in the Maryland school system.

You may ask yourself why would I care what is happening in any other state but California.

Since that is where I live.

Well,

injustice comes in all forms

and can happen anywhere in the World.

If by signing a

Petition

will help someone with a good cause reach there goals,

I am all for it.

Here is what Dave had to say;

"I hope that you don't mind me intruding upon your summer by asking you to do me a huge favor. It is for a good cause. Basically, some very unfair people have sneakily realigned some girls high school soccer divisions so that their teams can advance through to the playoffs. This is not just about Inonge and her team; it's about giving all the girls in Prince George's County, MD a level playing field. Signing the petition will also send the message to government officials that they are answerable to the people and they do a disservice to everybody when they circumvent the rules and play favorites. It's just not right! So please take a moment to sign the petition below. Thank you."

https://www.change.org/p/tell-mpssaa-to-restore-the-2014-girls-soccer-alignment-and-equal-opportunity-for-girls-in-prince-george-s-county-by-august-2016?recruiter=444219306&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=share_email_responsive

If you are wondering,

Inonge is Dave's daughter.

Help stop the injustice in the

Maryland School System,

by signing the petition.

You will be participating in what is termed,

the American Way.

The next step will be is,

for you to go out and vote for the

President of the United States.

See how easy these things can be once you start.

This is,

A Registered Voter Since I Was 18 Years Old,

Signing Petitions All Along The Way,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

"By making the government a combination of elected officials and citizen-backed initiatives and referenda, there can truly be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people."

One Last thing.

If you don't go out

and sign petitions,

read about the candidates who run for office,

and choose who you feel is the best one,

from your city politician to your federal candidate,

YOU HAVE NO REASON TO COMPLAIN

ABOUT WHAT THEY DO,

BECAUSE BY NOT VOTING,

YOU TOLD THEM IT WAS OK TO DO ANYTHING THEY WANTED!  

Moderation In All Things

If anyone knows me from my younger days,

they will tell you that I sometimes would over indulge myself in whatever activity I might have been involved in at the time.

I never heeded the famous quote by the
Ancient Greeks.

"Moderation in all things."

If I was on my motorcycle,

my friends would start divvying up my possessions,

betting on whether I would make it through the night.

If I was invited to a party,

I was the first one there

and the last one to leave.

If I was drinking,

I didn't drink socially,

I drank until I got drunk.

Luckily for me I never hurt myself

or anyone physically during my exploits.

Maybe I hurt some feelings though.

Especially girls gone by.

Yet,

I grew out of these traits because I became a

Father

and have a family of my own.

Nothing like responsibility to straighten a guy out.

Well,

my youngest son is now 17 years old

and I believe a responsible young adult.

He did not wish to accompany me on my vacation back to

Wisconsin,

so he stayed at home.

I never had to worry about him drinking

or taking drugs.

He never displayed any of the warning signs.

I should know.

Then came the dreaded phone call from one of my daughters.

My son is having a party!

But she told me not to worry.

"Why?"

Because it is a nerd party!

Where my son

and his friends sit around with computers

and play games online all day.

I don't know if I should say,

"Where did I go wrong?"

Or

"I am so proud of you."

This is,

I Am Very Proud Of My Son,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

"If you like nerds, Raise your hands. If you don't like nerds, raise your standards."

- Violet Haberdasher -

1800 Aussie Ghost Story

Outside flashes a rogue of weather,

made my wife and I band together.

Before the fire that keeps us warm,

we sit protected against the storm.

Holding my wife, my life,

while she plays that teary fife.

A visitor does call on this frightful night,

to plead my help in his awful blight.

I have been known to dabble in those cases,

where mystery in itself is the basis.

Hear my wife, my life,

while she plays that weary fife.

What brings you here to knock on my door,

in conditions one should surely abhor.

Appearance of a Specter was I to investigate,

and if not for the weather I would not hesitate.

Now listen to my wife, my life,

while she plays that dreary fife.

I say to you, sit my old friend and gentleman,

we will wait out the storm, here, while we can.

Take of my food and drink of my ale.

Listen to the music my betroth here wails.

So listen to my wife, my life,

while she plays that leery fife.

I do not understand your laugh so hearty,

you embarrass me, while here you “Starve the Bardies.”

How can you look at me with such eyes,

as crazed by my promise to your query you apprise.

Holding my wife, my life,

while she plays that eerie fife.

I consider it an insult in my home no less,

by the display you foster of your mindless jest.

Now you dare to declare I am mad.

A sad comment coming from you, a frightened man.

Hear my wife, my life,

while she plays that bleary fife.

He who sees the Specters flying about.

What nerve you announce that I say you flout.

I will capture those Spirits all.

Never again will those Ghosts screech their cursed call.

Now listen to my wife, my life,

while she plays that teary fife.

What do you say, you clown of the untrue,

my wife has perished this past year of the flu.

Then who sits beside me that I hold so dear,

an apparition you say that I should fear.

Can't you hear my wife, my life,

while she plays that leery fife.

Never could I lose one so close to me.

You will take your leave, no longer welcomed you see.

I promise dear, that you, I shall never leave.

That fool thinks I'm mad since I will not grieve.

I'll listen to my wife, my life,

while she plays that dreary fife.

Why would I live in a world without you,

gloom overwhelming, a heart with nothing to do.

So sit here I will, with the fires to stoke,

burning the house, to be as you, a whisper of smoke.

I must listen for my wife, my life,
while she plays that eerie fife.

I wrote the poem, “1800 Aussie Ghost Story,” when I came across the phrase, “Starve the Bardies.”

It's Australian slang, meaning - an exclamation of surprise or protest.

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
