USA Trips

Wow! This couple went to the USA for their honeymoon – and they visited (almost) every National Park in the USA and Canada! Honeymoon trip through USA and Kanada July 1989 until October 1990.

I think I know a Night Person, too!

Finally!

Summer’s here! On the last day of July, finally the weatherforecast was right. We have sunny weather, almost no clouds, and 25°C (about 78 F). It’s wonderful outside! Now let’s hope it stays this way for a while…

I’m out on my bike!

Jörg, nicht nur in Spanien scheint die Sonne – auch hier in Bonn!

Have a nice vacation, Sheila – and Brent, I suppose. Hope you enjoy your week off!

Huh?!

Do you read Jeff’s Weblog? Are you a member of his site?

I am, and he really got me with his headline. It says: “Andrea Frick’s Weblog”, at least for me.

I wonder how long it has been this way without me noticing it…

GPS Receiver

David Singer bought a GPS receiver a few days ago and seems to have a lot of fun with it. He took it on a flight and was able to identify the cities and rivers he saw outside. That’s cool! When we went to the USA last year, I kept trying to figure out where we were and what lakes and rivers were visible, but of course I wasn’t able to find out.

Partial Solar Eclipse

Sheila has details about today’s/tomorrow’s partial solar eclipse and links to this page. In Europe, the eclipse is visible only in Scandinavia. I think we’re lucky that we can’t see it from Germany – the weather is so bad we wouldn’t have a chance to see anything anyway, so this spares us the disappointment of a cloud-covered eclipse.

Bach verpaßt

Das kommt davon, wenn man keine Zeit hat, die üblichen Weblogs zu lesen. Da habe ich doch glatt übersehen, daß mir Jörg vorgestern mal wieder einen Link serviert hat… sorry. Hier kommt er:

The Schockwellenreiter had a link to a webpage about Johann Sebastian Bach.

I’m back!

Whew, I definitely needed a break after the heavy traffic on my discussion group on Thursday (and early Friday)… Nope, just kidding!

I didn’t have a chance to update yesterday because we got visitors, and because I went to Ikea yesterday to buy some furniture. Yes, I went on my own – and found a friendly young man on the parking lot who helped me lift the heavy boxes into the car trunk.

Speaking of Ikea… I remember that some fellow weblogger from the US complained about Ikea not having online ordering. Well, Ikea Deutschland does.

Well, now I’m going to catch up with my daily weblog dose from yesterday…

Comet Linear

Hal has news about the comet and links to pages with pictures of the outburst.
