Good on 'em!
Rhode Island Legalizes Medical Marijuana.
This makes me happy for two reasons. First, because there are demonstrated benefits to some cancer, glaucoma and AIDS patients from smoking marijuana.
Second, because it's an always-welcomed poke in Uncle Sam's eye when a state asserts its rights over the federal system. The correct answer is almost never "more government involvement".

Or to quote Ronald Reagan regarding the most frightening thing you could hear "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

There is also some interest in marijuana for control of diabetes and asthma.
The real fun will come when some state elects a governor with
cluster headaches.

Ted, You may have already seen these, but if not, check 'em out:
Soviet-era aer0space postcards. Lotsa rockets. Found the link at the Ministry of Minor Perfidy (perfidy.org).
OOPS! You'll have to change the first 0 in aer0space0 to an o. Evidently your questionable content editor doesn't like "eros"!
Happy New Year!
Chris

I have my Thrashers logo up.
Are they even playing?
I've been too much of the jamboree and not enough of the whoopass I think.

Heh, she said Balls
Over at Caterwauling, Dawn has assembled a spherical feast for the
Carnival of the Recipes. I love these carnivals, and this edition features even more "must try"'s than the usual.
So head on over, because it's not like you're going to actually keep those resolutions, right?

More balls than you can shake a (high) stick at!
Thanks for promoting it! I need to try those chocolate eggnog balls next. This is why I don't implement any new year's resolutions till February.

Thanks a lot, dude. I hope that 2006 is full of health and happiness for your family, and lots of rocket flying for you!
I would suggest one addition to the Organizations section: the NARHAMS club, the oldest chartered NAR section in the country, which has friendly fly-whatcha-brung launches near Frederick, MD and at the Goddard Space Flight Center visitors's center. Their site is at www.narhams.org. I am, as you know, a strong supporter of both NOVAAR and NARHAMS, two fine clubs that welcome newcomers and curious onlookers. There is no better way to learn what this sport of ours is all about than to show up at one of these clubs' events, preferably with kids in tow. Thank you for helping to expand the number of grownups who think it's fun to make little cardboard tubes go up in the air.

Thanks Doug!
NARHAMS will be added, so will the folks down at Whitakers. The list is very preliminary, I just wanted to get it out there so I'd have a one-stop page for all of my resources.

Because I'm a traditional kind of guy
C'mon, you know it's true, Chuck Norris Jokes are a
New Year's Tradition!
My favorites:
Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.
When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
As a teen Chuck Norris impregnated every nun in a convent tucked away in the hills of Tuscany. Nine months later the nuns gave birth to the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the only undefeated and untied team in professional football history.
What, you got something against tradition?

I'm sure you've heard this one, but I digs it:
Chuck Norris' tears can cure cancer.
Too bad he's never cried.

Oops... hehehe... I guess I should have visited the link *before* commenting... that was right at the top of the list.
Dohl!
Sorry about that.
