My Interests

Punching clouds. Sheet metal. Astronomy. Adventures. Bicycling. Getting lost on Wikipedia. Music. Reading. Football. Beer. Etc, etc.Dislikes: The big wrongs - racism, child abuse, genocide, ignorance, and talking smileys"Strange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men - above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.""Everyone who is seriously interested in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe—a spirit vastly superior to man, and one in the face of which our modest powers must feel humble." -Albert Einstein

My flight aboard the "Liberty Belle"
