Less than a week ago you were celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first mortal footfall on the surface of your moon; a trip covering a quarter of a million miles and taking you three days.
This weekend, right now here in July, sees only the 100th anniversary of your first flight in a heavier than air craft over a large body of water - a flight of 22 miles, taking 37 minutes.
What spirit, what determination drives the human race that you can accomplish such a transformation of your lives in a mere sixty years.
Those were years when we watched you with awe, and wondered where you would be at the end of the next sixty years.
Alas, it seems you have turned inward and will have nothing new to celebrate tomorrow.

This blog was inspired by news of an answerphone line to god set up as a Dutch art installation. Messages were left by members of the public (though the artist declined to listen to them) and it seemed only fair to arrange a facility for communication back in this direction. No offence is intended.
About Me
- jupiter
- king of the gods? In this incarnation maybe just a jovial oldster with some outspoken views. You will surely not mistake the moments in which the true bearer of this mighty name appears, for by his words you will know him and wish to pay him heed.
