American Ingenuity...

Okay, so I haven't posted for a bit...I am not very good with the blog thing. So why did I start a blog? I actually don't know, it was my daughter's idea.
My daughter is gone for the week. She is at a friends house. I miss her too much, but I know she is having great fun. I will see her this Tuesday. She is growing up so fast.

Here is the latest from my store of "Wisdom"

American Ingenuity...

During the heat of the space race in the 1960's, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration decided it needed a ball point pen to write in the zero gravity confines of its space capsules. After considerable research and development, the Astronaut Pen was developed at a cost of about $1 million U.S. The pen worked and also enjoyed some modest success as a novelty item back here on Earth. The Soviet Union, faced with the same problem, used a pencil.
