Now That’s One Heck of a Commute!!!

Hi Everyone!!

Well, I just don’t get it!! My WordPress is acting up Yet Again Today and I can not get Uni on!! Now you all know how uncomfortable this makes me feel, not having Uni overlooking over these proceedings, but I guess we have no other choice!! Maybe he is sleeping in today, if so, and if he gets up later and feels like it, maybe I will be able to talk him into making an appearance!!

POTENTIALLY HABITABLE PLANET FOUND: FOR THE FIRST TIME ASTRONOMERS HAVE DISCOVERED A PLANET OUTSIDE OUR SOLAR SYSTEM THAT IS POTENTIALLY HABITABLE, WITH EARTH-LIKE TEMPERATURES, A FIND RESEARCHERS DESCRIBED TUESDAY AS A BIG STEP IN THE SEARCH FOR “LIFE” IN THE UNIVERSE.
New Habitable Planet!

The story goes on to say that it is just the right size, may have water in liquid form and it’s close by, only 120 trillion miles away!!

Now I don’t know about you but that sounds like one heck of a commute to me, how about to you?? I can’t imagine us just popping home for the week-end to see the parents and friends! And I think that family dinners are a definite no no!! Which might not be such a bad thing for some people! And you might as well forget about “going home for the holidays”, I mean how in the world would you book a flight? Where would you book a flight? & what would you fly on?? The closest meteor flying by that is headed towards Earths atmosphere, or grab hold of the tail of a comet as it speeds by?? (did you know those were made of ice)???

Say you could book a flight, for the sake of argument, well if you wanted to, “fly home for the holidays”, wouldn’t you have to start 90 or 100 years in advance??? If you booked a flight the day that you were born, the chances of you getting “home for the holidays” before you die would be looking pretty slim, wouldn’t it????

And can you imagine the Phone Bill????? Ay yi yi yi yi!!!!! I already pay a Fortune each month on my phone bill calling my Daddy, and he only lives 11,000 km away from me!! So when he or I get on a plane to see each other we only fly 10-11 hours, if it is non-stop! If we have to make a stop then you are definitely talking about the better part of an entire day! That already feels like forever, can you imagine 90 or 100 years? That really would be “Forever” for most of us!!!

So if you had to travel 90 or 100 years or more just think how far the phone call would have to go and how expensive even 1 second would be, if you could get a line out at all!!! And the Telephone Wires!!!!!! Now that is a Lot of wire just to reach one phone, not even on the other side of the World!!!! Try the other side of the Universe…Another Universe!!!!!! I wonder, if you could make a phone call that far, how long would it take for your voice to reach the other person?? Would it reach them almost immediately or maybe it would be days, weeks, years!! before they heard you just say “Hello” for your one second phone call!!!

I don’t know about all of this!! I am going to have to give this a good, long think!!! I am just not sure about “Space Travel” and living in different “Worlds”…but then again, all of my friends are always telling me that I already live in a Different World!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s it for me today!!! I hope to see you back here tomorrow when we will be celebrating…T.G.I.F.!!!!!! Hope you have a good one!!

I would also like to thank HDW for the great Space class that he took the time to give me yesterday!!! Is there anything that he doesn’t know about??…I wonder!!! Now he is a Real “Space Cowboy”!!!!

    Sorry about Uni, hope he’ll be back soon! You like to change template layouts don’t you! I’m not much into outer space except God, and looking at the sky at night!

    Hi Izzy!

    Thanks for your concern about Uni!! I hope he gets back tomorrow too, I miss him guarding over the place & looks kind of naked up there, doesn’t it??

    Yes, I change layouts a lot, keeps people on their toes and coming back, never know what to expect!! One day I will have one that I keep though!!!

    God and looking at the night sky is a lot of very important space!! But I know what you mean!! That is why I had to have the “Space Lesson” from HDW yesterday!!!

    Have a good one Izzy!!
