Collider Day

[poliphilo]

We've just bought a couple of daylight bulbs for the living room. This is all part of our multi-pronged strategy for beating the recession and making this winter a happy experience. It may be glooming outside, but inside it'll be as bright as May Day and we won't get SAD.

We've also invested in fleeces. Mine has little skull and crossbones all over it.

I understand the Large Hadron Collider has been switched on. This is probably the most important event of the 21st century thus far. I don't think we've been sucked into an alternate universe, but if we had, would we notice?

They have air-shows here that get unbelievable planes to come in. They have had lots of old planes, a stealth bomber, and that helicopter that can take off straight up.... and more. They do sell rides in this one but it's almost $400 a person!

We live near an international airport, so we get lots of planes going over- but nothing terribly exciting- more's the pity.
