Day 302: Memory Wall

In the morning, fresh with energy and all, I opened up my beautiful new HP Touchpad, and played with it for many various hours. When Tyler came home, we watched three episodes of How I Met your Mother before I met up with Geetha at Ralph’s. She bought supplies for stir fry vegetables while I bought supplies for fried rice.

At 77 years of age, Glenn was the oldest human ever to travel in space. During the nine-day mission, he served as part of a NASA study on health problems associated with aging.

A decorated pilot, he had flown nearly 150 combat missions during World War II and the Korean War. In 1957, he made the first nonstop supersonic flight across the United States, flying from Los Angeles to New York in three hours and 23 minutes. SPACE…

Rep. Ron Paul, Republican presidential candidate, said large cuts in the federal government would result in a wealth transfer that would repair the U.S. economy. Paul, R-Texas, caused concern last week by proposing the removal of five full Cabinet agencies and asserted Sunday the fallout would be minimal, UPI.com reported. “I have a personal conviction that this will not hurt anybody,” Paul said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” CONVICTION TRUMPS EVERYTHING ELSE!
