Skywatch – Retro Version

This week’s edition of Skywatch is the start of its seventh year. I am a host of Skywatch and in keeping with what the past hosts have done on such occasions I have asked the participants to post their favorite Skywatch Posts over the years. This is the post I picked from my post of October 11, 2010.

Early Sunday morning at Lake Eufaula State Park in eastern Oklahoma.

Skywatch Friday – Crossed Signals

01_00A

I’m always amazed at not just our skies overhead but how much wires, cables, signs, signals and other stuff we have overhead all over the place. As a pipeline engineer I can tell you that there are probably just as many wires and cables as well as pipelines carrying natural gas, fresh water, sewage, storm-water under our feet.

On one level it is all just visual pollution, on another it gives me a feeling of the net of connectiveness between all of us on this planet. If I had your phone number I could probably call you right now as you are reading this.

Would you pick up?

Thanksgiving

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
