As a Canadian I don’t usually get awards from my American cousins, especially from the Republicans, but yup, yesterday I did. A Mr. Kevin Siegert saying he represents Congressman Tom Reynolds (Who??) from New York state called and said the congressman wanted to give me this award and they wanted to put out a press release right away.

I’m sure he got one of my US numbers and thought I was an American because you see, you have to pay to receive your award. That’s right, it’s a fundraising scam. For only $300 to help offset the cost of putting out the press release I would get my award. WOW! All I can say is that American fundraising tactics are the most aggressive, sleazy I’ve ever heard of. Something like that would never happen in Canada would it? Well if it is happening, let me know about it.

If you haven’t heard, and I would be suprised if you haven’t since everyone I know keeps asking me about it, Mars is going to be as big as a full moon on August 27th. Now think about that for second, even if you’re not a physicist, do you really think Mars will look as big as a full moon does? I have news for you, if it was that big we’d all be in big trouble, as in end of the world trouble.
For the whole truth about Mars in the sky this month why not visit SpaceRef (ooh a plug for my company) and read this article put out by Sky and Telescope.
