Thorondor Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 "Imagine you're a fish, swimming in a pond. You can move forward and back, side to side, but never up out of the water. If someone were standing beside the pond, watching you, you'd have no idea they were there. To you, that little pond is an entire universe. Now imagine that someone reaches down and lifts you out of the pond. You see that what you thought was the entire world is only a small pool. You see other ponds. Trees. The sky above. You realize you're a part of a much larger and more mysterious reality than you had ever dreamed of." - Blake Crouch, Dark Matter novel :: Happy birthday, SV!

Space Voyager Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Thank you, guys! This year I actually DO feel a bit older as I've gotten glasses... My sight is now officially old. That said, I do look very respectable with glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorondor Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 We're all pretty much dinosaurs for twenty-something runts anyway, but what do they know about anything? And, it's a known fact - if you recall Donald Sutherland's character in Space Cowboys - that wearing glasses won't keep you from going on space missions.

Thorondor Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 Time's a thief; he steals away Many blossoms of to-day. Joys he steals and also tears, Pilfers hopes and filches fears. May the rascal steal from you Only what you want him to! Time's a giver and he brings Sometimes weights and sometimes wings; Now his gifts are lasting fair, Now they vanish in the air. May the rascal give to you Only what you want him to! - Thief and Giver poem by Amos Russel Wells :: Happy birthday, Zombie! Zombie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorondor Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 "'Do you ever wonder if -- well, if there are people living on the third planet?' 'The third planet is incapable of supporting life', stated the husband patiently. 'Our scientists have said there's far too much oxygen in their atmosphere.'" - Ray Bradbury, The Martian Chronicles :: A very happy birthday to you, SV, you wondrous cosmic seedling!
