What am I Lego-loving?
September 25, 2019
Lego is offering a new kit to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing. Here are some photos. I love Lego and I love the sets, although I do think that more creative play took place with the older, non-themed sets when kids could make whatever came into their heads, but…
And, I had no idea that Lego sets had gotten SO expensive. There is more at their website.
I saw a video that showed how the little Lego figures are made, but I am not posting it because it needed a lot of editing (in my opinion.)
What am I noting on tattoo Tuesday?

Today is Constitution Day
This is the day that in 1787, the Constitution of the United States of America was approved. Representatives from 12 state delegations approved the document and it was signed by 39 of the 42 delegates present. The Constitution then went on to be ratified by the various states. In 1788 ratification by New Hampshire (the 9th state to ratify) made the Constitution the law of the land.
I love this
September 14, 2019Portions of the Apollo 11 mission are dramatized in the HBO mini-series From the Earth to the Moon episode entitled “Mare Tranquilitatis”. In that episode, Michael Collins made the following suggestion as to what Armstrong should say upon stepping onto the lunar surface: “If you had any balls, you’d say ‘Oh, my God, what is that thing?’ then scream and cut your mic.”
This whole post is shamelessly ripped off from HMS Defiant (who took it from Daily Timewaster.) Because it makes me laugh.
We are now in the realm not of plagiarism, but of research.
