As opposed to the Catholic or Jehovah's Witness crickets we have around here. Who knew?

Quick and beautiful; from the departure of the (all caps, sorry we have a flame filter) Messenger spacecraft.
Leaving Earth
Video Credit: NASA/JHU Applied Physics Lab/Carnegie Inst. Washington
Explanation: What it would look like to leave planet Earth? Such an event was recorded visually in great detail by the MESSENGER spacecraft as it swung back past the Earth in 2005 on its way in toward the planet Mercury. Earth can be seen rotating in this time-lapse video, as it recedes into the distance. The sunlit half of Earth is so bright that background stars are not visible. The robotic MESSENGER spacecraft is now in orbit around Mercury and has recently concluded the first complete map of the surface. On occasion, MESSENGER has continued to peer back at its home world. MESSENGER is one of the few things created on the Earth that will never return. At the end of its mission MESSENGER crashed into Mercury's surface.

I just counted in my history, there were 50 calls listed over the past two years (the whole time I've had the phone), which I guess is about one call every other week. And I'm not gonna go tally it up, but probably 40-45 of those are redirect calls to my Google Voice number.

My personal phone is not so bad and I try to keep it that way-- I actually have a cheap "burner phone" that I use for just about everything except personal calls (ordering things online, businesses that need it, etc.).
