Mach 9.6, you say...

NASA Scramjet travels almost 7000 mph

Damn, but that's one fast little bird.

Here's hoping that they come up with the commercial applications before they only use it for military...

Random mind farts

• Mom's on her way to Japan, with P, her husband. Grandma probably won't recognize her, if she's alive when Mom arrives. Dear gods, as hard as I've been finding it to deal with Dad's death, how the hell can my Mom cope with her mother's death when she can't even reach the mind inside the still living body?


• Need to find a good reference chart for LB's progression - he's doing fine, but I'm getting a little antse about the whole "no more actual teeth in ages" thing.


• Need to find another project I can do at work - bored stupid here too many days of the week.


• Rescheduled the appointment with G today - doing a show, fighting a sinus infection, trying not to think too hard about Mom/Grandma/Japan, and just don't have the energy to do deep introspective today, and don't want to waste our time.
