           Taking these entries off my desk calendar shows the Google has sealed off yet another freedom on you. Before, you could post an article on any date and the entire software path would show that it was published at that time. Now, Google has altered the paths to now show the publication date (2014) in addition to the post date. That did not used to be, so that is just another example of how all Internet corporations, no matter what their roots or their high-sounding policies, they all gnaw away at your freedoms like a thief in the night.
           JZ and I tried to use one of those windshield repair kits on my Cadillac. We could not get it to work. That's the hairline crack that started in Denver in 1999, creeped across the side from using the winter heater in 2000, and finally split the windshield using the A/C in Florida. It was a hairline crack, but right across just above the spot where the windshield wipers hid. That repair goop only works on tiny "starburst" chip type damage.
           Here's a first from the Galileo explorer, that all but forgotten mission to Jupiter from 1989. This is a picture of an asteroid that has its own moon. Can you see it? This photo was taken 1993 but its a timeless classic. I think the asteroid is called Ida.
