I watched an interesting documentary on Machu Picchu, Peru yesterday, and it talked about the engineering marvel of it's water system, among other things. Pretty cool stuff.

I'm putting Machu Picchu on my top ten list of places to see before I die, which includes Australia, and Antarctica.

The mind is a weird and mysterious place

This coming week is supposed to have Thunderstorms and maybe, RAIN, whatever that is... ;)

Oh. You live in that place they call "Scorched Earth."

And as Maxwell Smart would say: 'And loving it.'

I found a bunch of cat hair on the front of the a/c's fins, vacuumed the fur off, restarted the a/c(the temp rose while the a/c was off), now the temp is 90F in here, 88F near the a/c, it's 108.5F outside now, down from 114F.

I had to remove 2 screws so that I could remove the face of the a/c unit, no I'm not putting the screws in, I'll put them in a bag, marked a/c, and then in a drawer in the kitchen.

I said they'd be in a bag marked a/c, since there is only 1 a/c unit here, it should be obvious.

You may want to label where they go in relation to the a/c.

There is only one a/c unit here, and that is what it will be marked as.

Moon Express Payload Review Determination
August 3, 2016
Contact: Laura Brown
Phone: 202-267-3883

Fact Sheet – Moon Express Payload Review Determination
On April 8, 2016, Moon Express, Inc. submitted a request to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for a Payload Review and Determination on the MX-1E spacecraft. On April 21, 2016, the FAA accepted this application and proceeded with review.
The MX-1E is a spacecraft/lander capable of transfer from Earth orbit to the Moon, making a soft landing on the lunar surface, and performing post-landing relocations through propulsive “hops.”
On July 20, 2016, the FAA made a favorable payload determination for the Moon Express MX-1E mission. The FAA has determined that the launch of the payload does not jeopardize public health and safety, safety of property, U.S. national security or foreign policy interests, or international obligations of the United States. As long as none of the information provided to the FAA changes in a material manner and the FAA does not become aware of any issues the review did not consider that could affect the determination, the FAA considers this determination final. Additionally, if a launch operator applies to the FAA for a license to launch a vehicle carrying the MX-1E payload, the favorable payload determination will be incorporated in our review of the license application.
The FAA’s authority to make payload determinations is derived from 51 U.S.C. 50904. The FAA’s regulatory requirements for payload reviews is outlined in 14 CFR §415, Subpart D. A payload review may be conducted as part of a license application review or a payload owner or operator may request it in advance of or apart from a license application. The FAA consults with other agencies to determine whether the launch of a proposed payload or payload class would present any issues affecting public health and safety, safety of property, U.S. national security or foreign policy interests, or international obligations of the United States. The interagency process is outlined in 14 CFR §415, Subpart D.
The requirements for a payload review can be found in 14 CFR §415.59. They include payload name, class, physical dimensions, owner and operator (if different from person requesting payload review), orbital parameters, hazardous materials, intended payload operations, and delivery point in flight at which the payload will no longer be under the licensee’s control.
Article VI of the Outer Space Treaty requires, in relevant part, that “The activities of non-governmental entities in outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, shall require authorization and continuing supervision by the appropriate State Party to the Treaty.” The FAA consulted with the Department of State as to the relevant portions of the Treaty and considered comments from the Department as part of the payload determination. The representations made by the payload operator in the request are enforceable through Chapter 509 of Title 51, United States Code, and FAA regulations. For this particular mission and set of circumstances, the FAA concludes, in concurrence with the Department of State, that the enforcement of these representations constitutes compliance with Article VI of the Outer Space Treaty. This determination does not extend to future missions by Moon Express, Inc. or similar missions from other entities. Any future requests for a payload determination from Moon Express, Inc. or another entity will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
The FAA made a favorable payload determination for this particular mission, however, not all non-traditional space missions may lend themselves to favorable payload determinations under the payload review authority in 51 U.S.C. 50904. Future missions may require additional authority to be provided to the FAA to ensure conformity with the Outer Space Treaty. Suggested language for legislative relief and the relative merits and needs has been transmitted to Congress in compliance with Section 108 of the Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act (Public Law 114-90). In the absence of legislative relief, the FAA will continue to work with the commercial space industry to provide support for non-traditional missions on a case-by-case basis when the law permits.

Stockton of Bankruptcy fame
http://www.kcra.com/news/local-news/news-stockton/stockton-mayor-arrested-in-amador-county/41051688

AMADOR COUNTY, Calif. (KCRA) —Stockton Mayor Anthony Silva was arrested Thursday morning at his Stockton youth camp at Silver Lake in Amador County on several charges involving at least one minor, records show.

Silva, 41, was charged with eavesdropping or recording confidential communications, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, providing alcohol to a minor and cruelty to a child by endangering health, according to court records.

The incidents for which Silva is being charged happened between Aug. 5 and Aug. 9, 2015, at the Stockton Silver Lake Camp, according to the Amador County District Attorney.

The arrest stems from a September 2015 FBI investigation where Silva’s cell phone was seized by Homeland Security investigators at San Francisco International Airport as he got off a flight from China.
...
Silva has made headlines Friday after a gun stolen from Silva's home was linked to several crimes in Stockton, including the killing of 13-year-old Rayshawn Harris in 2015.

Silva did not report the gun was missing until nearly a month after Rayshawn's death. In the March 2015 report, Silva said that his home had been burglarized and that his .40-caliber Beretta was taken, along with a 100-quart cooler, a generator, a laser printer, a camera and a game console, according to the report.

Yes, what a shame. I live in Lincoln Village, San Joaquin County. I wish, I didn't have to use Stockton as my mailing address.

Seti Ambassador
Not to late to order an Anni Shirt

What am I concerned about lately?

My car's automatic transmission, I was at a stop light with My foot upon the
brake, all of a sudden the engine quit, yes I got the engine to restart, other
times I noticed the idle was rough while in gear, though while in park the idle
was smooth, purred like Grace.

This is not something I need at the moment, next month in Sept is DMV Car
Registration time, in Oct and Nov I'm saving up to fix the gas central furnace
for the house, in Dec I have property taxes to pay for($102.65, repeat in April
for another $102.65), so that means Jan and Feb of 2017 for this, just a fluid
change would be $140.00, more than that I don't know, I'll have to ask Lube Express on that.

Dear friends, I am afraid that I must give up the
title of Pun King. I therefore return the crown
to the disposition of the membership of Seti.



I must now attend to other more pressing
personnel matters, and can no longer hold
the title in good conscious.
Please take good care of it.

---

Since you have held that position for such a long time, I propose that we make you "Life-Long Pun King", thus you may retain the crown you so clearly won.

Did the CIA director just admit that Chemtrails are real?
Read the last few paragraphs of a speech he gave at the council on foreign relations at the end of June this year. This link is to the CIA's own website, not some conspiracy group.

But the CIA could be considered a conspiracy group?

It's a Myth, those trails were spotted being made by WWII B-17 Bombers, cause they melted ice crystals at high altitude, jets do the same thing, once past the hot engine they freeze again into ice, the air is so thin above 30,000 feet that people in non pressurized planes like the B17 used oxygen masks to keep from passing out, that and insulated clothes.
