Falling like forgiveness from the sky

Friday L & I went to the Fernbank Science Center, where we sat through the planetarium show and afterward waited in a line outside in the near-freezing cold for our chance to look through their giant telescope at the moon. The moon that night was the closest it's been to Earth since 1993.

As museums go, the FSC is just okay, but they do have the Apollo 6 capsule, which is pretty sweet. Here's an image of the Apollo 6 interstage falling away back in 1968, courtesy of NASA and Wikipedia:

And Sunday we took a looong drive out to Rome, GA, by way of Adairsville (which I think I'll be okay if I never see again) to purchase a new camera for Sabitathica. A Digital SLR, the Sony alpha 300, with two lenses, a DT 18-70mm and a DT 75-300mm. Good times.
