Interstellar Travel

Travel between star systems - which may someday be do-able but given that even our closest star is 4.6 light years away it is something that will require technology and resources that we can only dream of by today's standards.

It is also a very big subject in science fiction; the rapid transit between star systems by faster-than-light travel; Star Trek, Star Wars, and Mass Effect are examples.

While Voyager 1 is technically making interstellar travel, at the rate it is going, it will take more than 72,000 years from now to do so.

Girl of Interest (GOI)

A word to use when trying to define someone you are interested in. She is not your girlfriend and she is not a friend...she is someone you are interested in.

Are you going out with the Girl of Interest (GOI) tonight?

Interstate 35

A major interstate highway in the central United States. It runs from Duluth, Minnesota, to Laredo, Texas, connecting the cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Des Moines, Kansas City, Wichita, Oklahoma City, Dallas/Ft. Worth and San Antonio. It splits into I-35W and I-35E in the Minneapolis and Dallas areas. Not a scenic interstate, but few east of the Rocky Mountains truly are.

If you drive I-35 through Minnesota en route to Duluth, northern cities, or cities in eastern Minnesota and Wisconsin on I-94, take I-35E because I-35W sucks Crosstown Commons. If you are going to Minneapolis or going to western Minnesota cities on I-94, take I-35W to I-494 up to I-394 and east into Minneapolis, or I-494 up to I-94 on the northwest corner of the metro.

Lesson: Try to avoid I-35W if at all possible.

invested interests

Wall Street firms, big banks, and hedge funds who continually manipulate the financial system, news media, and politicians for their benefit.

The bailout of Bear Stearns is just another case of the invested interests getting what they want.
