Today is all about trips. First let's look at some beautiful fall colors by taking a trip around the U.S:

The colors are really stunning here in Oregon, how are they where you live?
Now let's take a trip to the past:

There actually is a drive-in theater eight miles from where I live. When we were kids every Saturday night we would go out for a burger, shake, and fries then go home to get in our pajamas and then get in are old woody station wagon and head out with a pretty big bag of popcorn to the drive-in theater.
Now let's shoot into outer space:

QUOTE
Judy Chicago authored yesterday's quote. "There are two kinds of restrictions upon human liberty -- the restraint of law and that of custom. No written law has ever been more binding than unwritten custom supported by public opinion" was authored by a leader in the women's suffrage movement in its last years (leading the more "conservative" faction), was also the founder of the League of Women Voters after suffrage was won, and a founder of the Women's Peace Party during World War I. She was born in 1859 and died in 1947. In 1933 in response to Adolf Hitler's rise to power in which he used the Jewish race as a scapegoat for Germany's worst problems, she organized the Protest Committee of Non-Jewish Women Against the Persecution of Jews in Germany. This group gathered 9,000 signatures of non-Jewish American women and attached these to a letter of protest sent to Hitler in August 1933. The letter decried acts of violence and restrictive laws against German Jews. She pressured the U.S. government to ease immigration laws so that Jews could more easily take refuge in America. For her efforts, She became the first woman to receive the American Hebrew Medal. Who authored today's quote?

Such pretty fall colors! Makes me wish we had actual weather here in So CA so we'd have more pretty things to look at.
Interesting "abandoned" photos, too. The drive-in theater ones sure took me back! We lived just down the street from a drive-in, and we kids would go down, sit on the grass on the hill and look down at "silent" movies, since we couldn't get to the little speakers.
The space pictures are always amazing and often beautiful, even if I don't really understand how any of this exploding/sucking up stuff works.
Hi Pat
When I lived in the LA area one of the things I missed were the fall colors.
Your not about the drive in theaters brought me back too. I had a friend, Ronnie, that everyone thought was kind of a dumbo. A poor student. But he was an electronic genius. He lived near a drive in theater where you could clearly see the screen, he wired his house to connect to the drive in theater. We went to his house to watch movies!
I don't understand space either but I just like stories about it.
Bill
