New Veruca Salt music
So yesterday Veruca Salt released a new video.
I was so happy last year when I heard that the original band got back together to make some new music. They just weren’t the same band once Nina Gordon left. “Eight Arms to Hold You” was an incredible album. I saw them twice when there were touring off that album. I loved Nina Gordon’s solo albums, but Veruca Salt’s albums sure lost something without her. I can’t wait to here more of their new stuff.
Thanks to YouTube, I’ve been watching a lot of Veruca Salt videos all day today. I would embed some more, but you know where to find them.

A Dragon spotting
So last Friday I watched SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket launch during the Weekly Space Hangout. The rocket was to launch the Dragon capsule to supply the International Space Station.
So then Saturday evening when we had a bunch of family over for Easter, I got an email announcing an ISS passing. So I thought it would be cool to show everybody.
When we were all out on the deck watching the ISS pass through the sky, people starting notice something else following it. I immediately thought it could be the Dragon capsule, but I wasn’t even sure it would be visible.
So when we went back inside, I did a little Googling, and yep, we saw the Dragon capsule!
Talk about a perfect time to check out the ISS. I don’t often go out to look at it. I mostly do it when people are over. People are always amazed at how bright it is and how they have never seen it before. If you want to know when it passes over just sign up for alerts here.
I love sharing my limited space knowledge and views through my telescope. I think most people love all things space, they just don’t take the time to do a little research and look up.
