Thank you for the Pluto pings today. I think this is becoming my favorite planet, tied with Saturn. Truly amazing, and I’m so glad I was able to see these things in my lifetime,
***As a child, I remember my grandmother talking about her father hitching up the buggy to go to church on Sunday.***
It is indeed all amzing!
My dad was born in 1925, I remember him talking about hitching up the mules for a trip to the “big” town across the state line, he showed me where they spent the night. Now the drive takes about 45 minutes.
He also told me the story about the first time he saw a jet fighter. He was slogging his way across Germany as an Infantryman in WWII and one flew overhead. He asked his buddy what it was and he told Dad it was a jet. Only thought my dad had was “Crap, this is going to make the war last longer!”
Beyond Wow!!
And there is much more to come!
