And what a wedding it was!!
Thanks for this photo Joanne.

Please email me your photos as well for inclusion.
(Thanks for a few of yours Jim.)
Our family will not soon forget this great day,
when Lou and Mary's oldest son Chris married his beautiful wife Sherry.
Very small EXE file .. but impressive !
( from CNET .. which is IMO pretty reliable and malware free )
And another, more serene aircraft:

GLOBAL NATURAL AND ANTHROPOGENIC SOURCES
AND ABSORPTION OF GREENHOUSE GASES
I've been trying to verify if it's true that humans contribute only 3% of the total Carbon Dioxide sent into the atmosphere.
No one seems to know if this is correct or not. Especially ignorant is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Their website technical summary has data only up to 2003 and 2005 :(
Who pays them again?

Here's a BBC article also questioning climate change:
