And I just finished In Cold Blood. Has anyone else read it? I think this might be what I teach to my non AP comp class. Thoughts?
I read it a couple of years ago and could not put it down. Compelling. It should certainly generate discussion.

That's great, Tep!
Eta: if I remember right, I got to see it zipping overhead years ago from the parking lot of the outdoor equipment shop where I worked, so we had some pretty good binoculars to see it with, as well. Which meant we got to see a bright dot with a bit of shape to it. Very exciting!

The Boy says they waved to us, but I think he's crazy.
They clearly mooned us.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
We went outside, stood in the street, and kept staring southwest like we were awaiting the Rapture or something.
Kinda sounds better than the Rapture. And awesome, really, really awesome.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I read In Cold Blood when I was in high school, just because it was on the bookshelf in my room and I found the story compelling. But of course I remember nothing about the book as a book now.
Why else would she redo without looking? Looking=gathering data. Not looking and redoing sounds like something didn't get taken right, no data to gather.
Well, the first set (front) she went and looked at, then asked to redo the left side. Then went to look at the next set and had the same technical error when doing the side set, but again only on the left. And then took an extra image of the left front for good measure? I dunno. Sounds like maybe looking for something to me.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
They clearly mooned us.
Sure, but they call it "earthing"

I had that happen, Burrell, and the tech told me the reason, which unfortunately I don't remember, but it was nothing worrying. Something like my boobs were denser than average or the squishing wasn't fully effective. Really was just about getting a good picture, not what the picture meant.

I think In Cold Blood would be more likely to hold the attention of high school students. Murder! Prison! Deviance!
