 Thx for new pics and the continued enjoyment of our ''social'' thread.  Might be time Dave to kick of # III soon ;)


Chris - I have thought of that also.  Outside My Windows II has filled up faster than the original OMW.  As a courtesy to those without a high speed connection we try to start a new thread before it gets too large. The original Outside My Windows thread went 18 pages.

Therefore after 15 pages on this one (which should happen soon), with your agreement, I'm going to stop it and I will start the next "feel good" thread continuation - where thread drifting and hijacking is a requirement.  

It will take us into the start of Spring and get us thinking about summer.  So after two more pages we will start:

Outside My Windows III - Around the Campfire

Dan

Looking at that picture of you on the boat I know now where I've seen that before.

The original Jaws movie - that know it all young guy (forget his name) standing on deck before he went diving and the shark sunk the boat.  Not saying you are a know it all,  the picture just looks like it could have been from the movie.

Do you believe................

In Big Foot? The evidence seems compelling. I was watching a History Channel show on that subject and most eye-witness accounts seem very believable to me.

How about aliens? There are some strange occurences out there, I generally lean towards no but you never know...

Dave, thx - yes be good to kick off #III soon - it'll help Brenden I think, for one.  This thread will become famous - particularly when we get (as we will) to #10 and beyond ;)

FB - re Bigfoot, Aliens - any paranormal stuff - I have a way of regarding all this.  I am a sci-tech guy by education and nature and so am fairly critical of many things but, bottom line - I need proof.  That said I need proof for - or proof against - without these two fulfilled I remain an open-minded ''maybe!

Richard,

Being a computer nerd, I tried to calculate the number of atoms in the known universe.

It is something like 10 with an exponent of 79 then multiplied by 6.

You see various estimates which are all, more or less, about the same.

I guess the bigger question is how many living creatures are there in the universe.

Bill:

I'm an old history major.  The mere thought of attempting to calculate 10 with an exponent of 79 and then multiplying the result by 6 causes my eyes to blur, my stomach to turn, and my head to hurt.   :-/   ;)

Those numbers do seem large!

Well, what I should have said was how utterly beautiful the space images are.  That was a great candidate for showing here.  Thanks for finding it.

Dave sure got us on the correct path by starting the thread.

This thread sure moves fast so I will summarize. Dave the boat is heavy over 8 tons so although not the fastest in the bunch it does handle the seas very well.                              Bill I'm on the south shore of Long Island.  Great South Bay     I have about a 45 minute run to get out the inlet.  Chris  there is nothing like it.  I don't think I could give it up.  Thanks again for your tutoring  ;D

Dan, I got mixed up and thought you were in Michigan.  My apologies.

My remarks about Lake Michigan and Lake Huron didn't make much sense.

Dave  I 've caught my share of large sharks. Nothing better than a Mako steak.  This one makes me proud.  My daughter 12 at the time catching her first Mako.  The fish was just a pup but so was my girl.
Bill no apologies needed.

Great pic Dan - if a tad large!! ;)

Back to Hubble theme for a bit - and hoping this will display - one of (the many) almost unbelievable pics from the Hubble program.

"Stellar spire in the Eagle Nebula" -




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyone with spare time (and bandwidth!) do go explore the images - http://www.spacetelescope.org/images/index.html

And also even better - go download some of the video's - well worth seeing.

Dan:

What a wonderful photograph of a priceless moment!  

Mako?  Did someone say Mako?  Here's a six-footer I managed to catch off Ocean City, Maryland.  It took over an hour to get him into the boat,
by which time I was almost as worn out as he was.
