Are you a snoozer?

-
We all dread it, we all are slaves to it and no one can escape it, that blasted alarm!  Well for me, the only way to ease into things for the day is to hit the snooze button probably at least 2 times.  Of course now days this is on my phone, not so much an alarm clock, but hey it still wakes me up...



For some reason it makes me feel like I got more sleep. Now I have read studies that say it is more tiring and makes you feel less rested, but I beg to differ.  When that alarm goes off and I get 10 more minutes, that is like time gold!  And when I get to hit snooze 2 more times, it's like I hit the jackpot.  Pure sleeping bliss and more time to snuggle my wifey.  Epic!

So are you a snoozer?  Do you need to hit the snooze a couple or few times before you can get out of bed?  Well I am and proud of it.  Snooze away!!!!

      Maybe I am just old but I can't really sleep beyond 7 am. My body doesn't allow it but my mind wishes it could snooze

      Well, whatever time you need to get up. I am usually somewhat awake, but love to lay in bed before I get up. So the snooze feels nice! Maybe I stay up too late too! :)

Flashback Friday - 1869 Transcontinental Railroad Completed

-
Image
On May 10th, 1869, the race to complete the great transcontinental railroad came to an end with a golden spike.  In three long and difficult years, the two companies, Union Pacific and Central Pacific laid nearly 2000 miles of track ultimately meeting in Promontory, Utah. It was known there was a need for this railroad since 1832, but challenges arose in congressional funding and the civil war.  In 1853, congress finally approved funds to survey the land.  However, with the rising tensions from the North and South, progress was slow going.  It wasn't until 1862, one year into the civil war that a Republican-controlled Congress passed the Pacific Railroad Act, which guaranteed public land grants and loans to the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific railroad companies. In 1866, construction finally began, but was not without it challenges.  Terrible weather, long harsh work hours, Indian raids and getting over/through the Sierra Nevada mountains are just a few of the hardship

Flashback Friday - 1962: 1st US Spacecraft Fly-By Of Another Planet (Venus)

On this day December 14th 1962, a US made spacecraft called the Mariner 2 had finally arrived at it's long awaited destination Venus.  The Mariner 2 had launched on August 27th 1962, so it took just a little over 3 months to arrive. Before the Mariner 2 was successful, the Mariner 1 had to be self detonated only 5 mins after takeoff (July 22, 1962) due to it veering off course from a SW glitch.  They were able to correct that issue in the code and use other learnings to make Mariner 2 a success.  Although there were a few hiccups and course corrections through it's flight to Venus, it was able to recover from all of them and hit its mark. The Mariner 2 arrived at Venus on December 14th 1962 and began capturing data with its on-board instruments.  Weighing 40 lbs, here are the instruments it was equipped with: Microwave radiometer Infrared radiometer Three axis fluxgate magnetometer Cosmic ray detector Cosmic dust detector Solar plasma spectrometer Particle detect

Flashback Friday - 1838 First Public Demonstration Of The Telegraph

Today, is an endless vortex of communications.  We have land lines, fax machines, cell phones, texting, Skype, Facetime, satellites and streaming media to name a few.  But it all started with some wire and an idea.  Almost 200 years ago Samuel Morse gave his first public demonstration of the telegraph on January 11th 1838. Source: Wikipedia Samuel Morse invented and patented the Telegraph in 1837.  He came up with the concept and code known as Morse Code to be able to send messages over a wire with electricity.  He encoded the alphabet and numbers with dots and dashes that could then be sent with one telegraph key and received by another. Source: Wikipedia This was the first method of communication that was instantly received on the other side.  Before this invention all communications came by letter or messenger.  On this day in 1838, Morse demonstrated his invention at Speedwell Ironworks close to Morristown NJ.  He sent a message over 2 miles of wire to the amazeme
