    solar eclipse

    Public Service Announcement -- During today's Eclipse, I will be banging loudly on an empty 55 gallon drum, to scare away the evil Moon from attempting to swallow our Sun. It's always been successful in the past, so why take a chance. You're WELCOME ! ! !

    Fisher Space Pen

    Fisher Space Pen

    This is definitely a plastic, with a slightly "rough" surface so it "grips" the writing instrument. Manufactured by JL Darling, makers of Rite in the Rain papers. BTW -- I have also tested "Stone Paper" products (various brands). As they state, they are not Bio-Degradable, but they are...

    Fisher Space Pen

    I can state for a fact that *THIS* waterproof paper is truly excellent in all respects ! I have been testing it outdoors continuously, exposed to weather and South-facing sunlight since November 15, 2021. BTW -- Pencils are the most Long-Lasting lightfast writing medium on it...

    Hmmmm . . . . For the past 2 days, "Reylight.net" is unable to connect ! :-( (server not found) Anyone else experience this problem ? EDITED to add -- The culprit seems to be my VPN. His site loads Just Fine if I switch off my VPN ! < me puzzled > :unsure: Perhaps it doesn't like Asian sites...
