"Hanging like a giant cue ball in space, Uranus has hidden its secrets in frozen gases."
"Observations of Uranus taken in Chile in August, 2002, with the 4-meter Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory Blanco telescope have revealed a probable new moon for Uranus. The object is likely 7 to 19 kilometers across and would be the 16th moon orbiting Uranus. Five moons were known before the Voyager 2 Mission which found 10 more totaling 15."
And now a trivia question: Your weight on Earth is determined by your mass and Earth's mass. Would you weigh more, the same, or less on Uranus?

We went to the county fair free pit bar-b-que tonight. It was pretty good this year. After that, we walked around so the boy could see the animals.
My dad got himself entered into a "local celebrity" cow milking contest. He is on the county board of supervisors. Other contestants were our US house representative, local radio announcer, physical therapy business owner, local paper publisher, etc.
They had one minute to see how much milk they could get. The winner was another small town football coach at 33 ounces. My dad was one of the last ones to go and the cow was getting unhappy. She was kicking around and fighting him and for about 30 seconds, he was only able to milk with one hand and he still had 32 ounces. Had he been able to keep going with both hands, he would have easily won.
