zaterdag 25 september 2010 Up at 5:01. Play some Star Trek on the iPad laying in bed - The Enemy Within and Home Soil. Burrito for breakfast. Listen to some Reggae on KEXP's Positive Vibrations show with Kid Hops.

Walk up Westlake to South Lake Union Park. Wow! It's busy with visitors and activities. I see Cyrus and his dad. "Hi!" What a perfectly beautiful day to have the grand opening.

There's the Hutchinson Center in the background.

Here are some "interactive" sailboats in a pond. I'm not sure how these work.

A giant sprinkler system for the kids to play in.

Streetcar to d'town. Back to my place. Fill my tires at Velo. Ride around Capitol Hill to 954 B'way East... one of first places I lived in Seattle. I guess that Unit 100 is for sale at $399,500. I used to pay $100/month for my apartment back in the 80's. Ride down to Lake Union and cruise around the Denny Triangle. At my place again, I turn on The Hawaii Radio Connection. Turn the channel to KUOW for Rick Steves' program. He interviews the author of A Voyage Long And Strange: Rediscovering A New World - Tony Horwitz. It's fun to listen about Soto's rather aimless trek north of what today is Louisiana into Arkansas, Mississippi, and Texas - which Horwitz describes as "wandering blind, deaf, and mute in the middle of the continent." Back to Star Trek - The Next Generation: Unnatural Selection. A "child" is beamed up : a young male, but barely a child, encased in styrolite.

The Enterprise is en route to Star Station India when receive a distress signal from the USS Lantree, a Federation supply ship. When they arrive, they find everyone aboard the Lantree of what seems to be old age. They proceed to the Lantree's last port of call, the Darwin genetic research facility on Gagarin IV only to find that they too are suffering from rapid aging. Dr. Pulaski clash when she brings aboard one of the children from the station and in order to complete her examination, takes him aboard a shuttle craft in order to isolate him from the Enterprise crew. She is soon infected however and seems doomed to die of old age but Picard may have a solution.

Examine me, please.

Pulaski is stunned as the boy telepathically tells her his name is David.

Bye. See ya.

Burrito for dinner. Watch Star Trek - Who Mourns For Adonais.
