We danced twice today, as usual on Wednesdays. All the callers here provide candy, usually mints and mixed hard candy and little Tootsie Rolls. In honor of Valentine's Day, Jerry had chocolate! He put out several kinds of Hershey's Kisses (do you remember when they were all just the silver ones?). And then the piece de resistance: Dove chocolate hearts. Yum!
We watched part of a Nova program we had recorded tonight. We didn't realize it was a two-hour program, and we had to give up and go to bed after an hour and a half. It was just fascinating.
"Earth From Space" is a groundbreaking two-hour special that reveals a spectacular new space-based vision of our planet. Produced in extensive consultation with NASA scientists, NOVA takes data from earth-observing satellites and transforms it into dazzling visual sequences, each one exposing the intricate and surprising web of forces that sustains life on earth. Viewers witness how dust blown from the Sahara fertilizes the Amazon; how a vast submarine "waterfall" off Antarctica helps drive ocean currents around the world; and how the Sun's heating up of the southern Atlantic gives birth to a colossally powerful hurricane. From the microscopic world of water molecules vaporizing over the ocean to the magnetic field that is bigger than Earth itself, the show reveals the astonishing beauty and complexity of our dynamic planet.
We replaced the tube in my bike tire, so now we'll be able to ride again tomorrow.
