Celebrate Isaac Newton’s birthday!
(Image courtesy Wikipedia)
Born 25 December 1642 in Lincolnshire, England, one of the best scientists the world ever produced.
Coincidentally his birthday falls on the day Christians appropriated from their pagan roots for the celebration of Christmas.

A flight to Everglades City and Chokoloskee Island, FL
I had a quick flight yesterday to Everglades City and Chokoloskee Island in the southwest corner of the everglades. (note: The Photo of the Day posted earlier today is from our vacation in North Carolina this past Thanksgiving). These are from Saturday Dec 21.
It was a fun and short flight from Miami (53 miles) in a sunny day on the first day of winter here.
These have a tint as unfortunately the C-182 I was flying does not have open windows so the quality is not the best.

2013 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate: The Existence of Nothing
This is a long video (almost two hours), so you may not want to follow it. I did and was awed.
It was hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson and included a panel of physicists, university professors and two science journalists.
The debate tries to explain and define the existence of Nothing. Worth watching.

Last week we traveled to North Carolina, visiting Asheville and Raleigh, with a stop in Savannah, GA along the way.
I will post a few photos as I process them.
This is in Biltmore Village, NC, a suburb of Asheville.
