The joy of waking to this view each morning is just so wonderful. Even if the camera sees all the distortions from the window screen, I easily ignore them. Many of these green trees stand near or by the Animas River which flows through the town.

The people in the Challenger disaster

More about the seven who trained, left their loved ones to go into space, and instead of having a great achievement, died in the Challenger accident.

 I have too many other things pulling on my time and attention to give proper credit to these 7 heroes and heroines. But I may just get some space sometime to find out more about them.

    In a strange way, it has been good to have been reminded of this event.

    I didn't know about the memorial, but it makes sense to be there.
