Misc (and Just for Fun)
A sign I saw on a dirt road in [tag]Canada[/tag] where basically NO traffic exists. Just remembered I have this after thinking about my travel.
So I thought I would spend some time today and think about 2007 as I prepare to go on vacation to Germany. Not sure I have anything interesting from a year in review perspective other than my travel. So here is my confirmed travel, Delta’s sky miles tracking is great.

Apparently June was rough…. 2007 appears to have been a very mobile year. I did 6 presentations, went to 8 conferences and did a bunch of travel. I was oddly surprised by the amount of time I spent in DC. I had 3 periods of PTO, counting today, also odd.
Safe travels to all.
So apparently this kid fresh with a license parked his relatively new vehicle during [tag]low tide[/tag] and returned during [tag]high tide[/tag]. Not interested in moving content towards [tag]astronomy[/tag], but syzygy would have been bad.
So what’s [tag]syzygy[/tag]?
From wikipedia other uses also exist outside of astronomy:
In astronomy, a syzygy is the alignment of three or more celestial bodies in the same gravitational system along a straight line. The word is usually used in context with the Sun, Earth, and the Moon or a planet, where the latter is in conjunction or opposition. Solar and [tag]lunar eclipses[/tag] occur at times of syzygy, as do transits and [tag]occultations[/tag]. The term is also applied to each instance of New Moon or [tag]Full Moon[/tag] when Sun and Moon are in conjunction or opposition, even though they are not precisely on one line with the Earth.
