A most appropriate song, letty. I saw the wing flapping plane on TV. Most odd.

'Bueller' actor pleads guilty in sex offender case
The actor who played the principal in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" will serve three years of probation after pleading guilty to failing to update his sex offender registry info.
Los Angeles District Attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison says Jeffrey Jones entered the plea Tuesday to a felony charge of failing to update his registry information in June.
Jones' registration was required because he pleaded no contest in 2003 to employing a 14-year-old boy to pose for sexually explicit photos.
The 64-year-old actor is also required to perform 250 hours of community service. His sentence was first reported by celebrity website TMZ.com
Jones has also appeared in "Beetlejuice" and other films.

Barack Obama: When you want to go forward in your car, you put it in “D.” When you want to go backward, you put it in “R.” We want to go forward. We have to put it in “D.”

Look on the bright side... If you stop dusting and cleaning spider webs now.. You won't have to work so hard to decorate for Halloween
Goldilocks planet found could possibly support human life.
Astronomers have found an Earth-like planet that they believe can support life. The newly discovered exoplanet Gliese 581g, dubbed Planet G, exists in the Gliese 581 system and is believed to be the right size and location for life according to a press release and webcast from the National Science Foundation.
They also reported that the planet has one side always facing the star, the other, of course, in darkness. Strange way to run a planet.
Cute video, letty.
Makes me wonder what sort of life would evolve, since so much on Earth depends on the change of seasons.

The fossil of a giant penguin that lived 36 million years ago has been discovered in Peru.
Scientists say the find shows that key features of the plumage were present quite early on in penguin evolution.
The team told Science magazine that the animal's feathers were brown and grey, distinct from the black "tuxedo" look of modern penguins.
It was about 1.5m (5ft) tall and nearly twice as heavy as an Emperor Penguin, the largest living species.
The bird, named Inkayacu paracasensis, or Water King, waddled the Earth during the late Eocene period.
It had a long, straight beak, much longer than that of its modern relatives.
'Pedro'
The fossil was found in Reserva Nacional de Paracas in Peru. The scientists nicknamed the penguin "Pedro" - after a scaly character in a Colombian TV series.
