One Lousy Week

I believe I'm dying, actually, I'm sure I am - you all are too. Okay, I admit that I am in a bleep-poor mood. Seems if anything can go wrong, it will. 
Blueberry/Grape Must this morning ...
 Everything was going swimmingly until Thursday, the must had been smelling like wine. Thursday morning is had a different wang to it. What does one do with blueberry vinegar? Not sure what I did wrong but I must have done something. Back to square one - except - now I have a cold or bad allergies or I'm gonna die. I don't feel like starting again right now.
Had two plants started, but somebody decided to check it out.
 The pie I made was good. Not worth doing instead of spending $5.99 at the store though. What a mess to clean up! Argh.

Thursday night, I didn't help myself a bit. I sat on the front porch watching for the awesome Perseid's showers we were supposed to have. It was a beautiful night, the witching hour, the bugs making their summer song. I was out there a long time, actually getting a chill from the damp chill breeze. I saw less than a dozen and decided I didn't have a good enough view. Tacky kept walking in front of the motion-sensor lights on the steps. I went into the house and stared at nothing going on, on the Nasa site. Somebody said to try another site, and some guy was blabbing - once every so often the screen would freeze with a shot of a meteorite. NOT worth the $ I was spending on my hot spot for streaming. Someone else said the really big show would be around 3a.m. So I decided to read a while and not waste my $. All in all, I should have just gone to bed.

Well, I'm going to grab my box of Kleenex and skulk back to bed with my crabby self. Have a pleasant weekend!

Stardust

Before my son went to California, he filled my computer with loads of information, games, youtube clips, mp3s, even some movies that I could never get with my limited internet. Some of the information he downloaded for me just blows my mind. It was like having my own personal google without the trial and error of the hunt!

I am a space/stars/moons/planets/stardust type of person and all this stuff fascinates me. The various information/videos on the Hubble telescope are wonderful. The picture today is a screen shot of Deep Space that was thought to be empty before the Hubble telescope was pointed into its nothingness. Awesome isn't it? My header is also part of a screen shot from a different area.
Hubble Deep Space. Can you count the galaxies?
