Most of my posts are about pleasant things -- with the occasional rant about things that perturb me!

John F. Kennedy - 50 Years Ago

It is strange how some things you never forget.  I was 8 years old exactly 50 years ago today when the President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas.  I remember where I was, what I was doing, and every little detail about that day.

I visited Dealey Plaza in Dallas on November 27, 2009.  It was very strange to see where the President had been assassinated all those years ago.

This photograph depicts the Grassy Knoll (left), the exact spot in the street where John F. Kennedy was shot (middle), and the building where Lee Harvey Oswald shot him from (right).

 
"X" marks the spot.

 
The building Oswald shot JFK from is now a museum.

150 years ago today . . .

. . . On November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg.

More evidence of life on Mars . . .

Another day, another "creature" on Mars.

Yet another animal has been spotted on the red planet.  On November 6, 2013, the NASA Curiosity rover took a photo of what appears to be a Martian iguana.  I don't need further convincing - I am TOTALLY convinced that this was once an iguana!


(Obviously, I did not take this photograph!)

Earlier this year, there was a rat found on Mars:
