    Just saw the International Space Station

    Well, you can't see much but we did see it!

    It looks like a bright star moving across the sky looking towards New Plymouth in the sky.

    It's visible tomorrow from about 9.20pm as well.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    - James Dickey, Cherrylog Road.

    It's still the middle of the day down here, how can you see stars at this time of the day? John

    Either that, or baby Jesus has just been born at Opunake.

    Important question then--which commodity is harder to find---a welly virgin --OR actually finding 3 wise men
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    In the words of Meatloaf - "you took the words right out of my mouth"!

    We forgot completely but wondered later if we would have seen anything anyway as it was still really light.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
