UFO's over Columbus

One of my greatest joys since moving to Columbus is actually seeing stars.

Living in Madison I never really saw the stars unless we went camping or on our yearly pilgrimage to Door County. Now we have spent many many nights on our deck in C-bus staring at an unobstructed view of the Milky Way, watching for shooting stars and just enjoying the billions and billions of lights in the sky including many aircraft coming and going from Madison.

With that said I believe I'm pretty proficient at being able to tell an airplane from a star at night.

Last night DJ and I were near the "main stage" with 700 of our closest friends dancing, listening and talking with The Britians on stage - a fine tribute band for the Beatles. I had been just taking it all in in sort of Norman Rockwell moments, watching people mingle an enjoy themselves and dancing and then looking up and seeing the Milky Way. On a clear night you can see the Milky Way almost anywhere in Columbus.

About 10:30ish (allowing for Miller Lite time distortion) I noticed two very very bright stars that were neither Saturn, Mars, or Regulus the current bright stars in the sky. These awere bright like when the Space Station flew over but there are two about "one inch" apart.

I point to them and DJ says something and we both ogle over them for a while.

I look back at the crowd and then to them a few minutes later. WAIT, they are half as bright and moving at a snail pace. Again I point to them and comment to DJ and as we watch them they slowly, at the same exact intensity and speed, move up the sky and vanish! They were not heading away from us but higher in the sky and - - - - then GONE!!

There are no twinkling of lights that would make me think they are aircraft. Especially when both totally disappear.

So I'm hoping someone in the know about other space objects might know something. If I hear nothing I'm going to contact . . . . SOMEONE tomorrow to find out what those two objects were. I'm just glad DJ witnessed it also.

Public Service Announcement

The 21st Annual Walk & Run for Wishes will be held on August 23rd. Tiffany a blog reader informed my that Felix Boller the most current Make a Wish child, passed away last week after saying to his mom "I have to go to heaven now," And then he said "bye" as though he were going to school.

Tiffany had gotten a Johnny Depp autograph for him and said "I tried to call his mother a bunch of times, and when she didn't return my calls, I knew things for him must be bad. I finally left it at his door on Monday."

Thanks for trying Tiffany. You did good!

And the Lebanon Band - did you know that the Lebanon Band started in 1890, and is the oldest continuous township band in the State of Wisconsin and the only township band left in Wisconsin today.

They were GREAT!!!!

After three days of calm the wind has kicked up again on Grinders Island. ODD - have we had ANY rain since the floods? I'm going to have to water my lawn I think.

Derrick Turnbow watch.

So what has Darrick been up to? No Good! In Triple AAA (that seems a little redundant doesn't it) Nashville he has pitched 15 innings and walked a STUNNING 35 batters. WOW!!!

He needs Depends - no control!!
===============================
Did you know that in the 1400's a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to
beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have 'the rule of thumb'

Blaze sent this link with a Christian Bale interview.

About 12 minutes into the interview, Bale briefly discusses his time filming Public Enemies. Scroll down to the picture of Bale, and play.
