I am thankful for:

• Spaceweather. Did you know that "Sunspot counts are at a 50-year low," (David Hathaway of the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center)


• The writings of David Brin and Glen Greenwald


• The TV programs which I can watch on the internet: Daily Show, Colbert Report and Rachel Maddow.


• Facebook for making it possible for me to play with my nieces and nephew 3648 miles away.


• Google Earth for enabling everyone to become involved in preserving the Earth's environment.


• Star Trek re-runs on the SciFi channel. Still timely.


• The generosity of all the internet contributers who add delight to my life, especially the youtube films.
