Dust storm?
Wed Jul 27, 2005 12:57 (UTC -5)I guess that Saharan dust storm passed by unnoticed or didn’t come at all. I thought the air seemed… sandy… on Monday night, but I might have just been imagining it. It was supposed to cause some great sunsets, but I didn’t look.
I’m almost done with “Teach Yourself Esperanto,” the book which I’ve been using to teach myself Esperanto since the end of May. It’s a good thing, too: pages are falling out left and right. I’m going to have to tape them back in, because I’m sure I’ll continue to use the book as a reference.
Answering Ask Jordon:
Stephen Mead: I have a 1996 courtesy $100.00. Crisp Gem and well centered signed by both Withrow and Rubin. Any ideas on value?
It can be hard to put a price on courtesy autographs, but just to throw a number into the air, I’d say roughly $200. A Withrow-Rubin autographed $1 can go for $100, so that’s how I base my estimate.
For the first time in nearly two and a half years, the Space Shuttle is back in flight. Here are some tables to show you when the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle can be seen overhead in your city (or enter your own location to get exact times). And here’s a real-time map tracking the two.

I just bought myself a couple of Teach Yourself Esperanto so that I can learn Esperanto when I’m not connected to the internet… Maybe I can get my wife to learn it too :)

Good idea. Just watch that the pages don’t fall out.
