Stephanie Sarah Irene Bankston

26 weeks yesterday. 6 months per the calendar. 183 days and sleepless nights. enough already stephanie. you've made your point. you've missed your sister's birthday, your father's, and mine. i'm pretty sure that we won't hear from you for christmas either if you have it your way. this is beyond cruel. it is destructive to the relationships and the people you walked away from. you may think that you are protecting us from your lies but we know about them and we want you back in spite of them because we love you. we are not 'better off' without you. we are your family and we are incomplete without you in our lives.

the longer you are gone, the worse that pain gets. we don't 'get over' you, stephanie. i know in my heart of hearts that i will never speak to nor see you again and will die never knowing what happened to my baby girl. i am broken, both in heart and spirit. you did this. you caused this. and only you can fix it stephanie sarah irene bankston -- only you can fix this. say something.

say something. please. a postcard. a message left on voicemail from an untraceable number. it does not matter where you are. what matters is that you put a stop to this silence before it is too late. we all have a limited time on this earth. you have squandered 6 months of that precious time and it can not be recovered. please contact someone before it is too late. only you can fix this. say something. i love you.

America The Beautiful

Ray Charles singing America The Beautiful, third verse first (as always) on The Dick Cavett Show, Sept. 18, 1972.

It Snowed

It snowed!  Started around 11am and snowed continually until just a few minutes before 5pm.  A lovely soft peaceful snowfall. 

I told Token he was an Oregon dog now.... he went out and at first stayed close to the car.

After muttering wuss under my breath (and snapping these pics from the protection of the covered porch ) he was soon out and in the snow covered grass.  His short legs had him scampering back into the house as soon as he was done.

NASA Johnson Style is a volunteer outreach video project created by the students of NASA's Johnson Space Center. It was created as an educational parody of Psy's Gangnam Style. The lyrics and scenes in the video have been re-imagined in order to inform the public about the amazing work going on at NASA and the Johnson Space Center.

NASA Johnson Style
Johnson Style

Welcome to NASA's Johnson Space Center
We are coming in hot so don't burn up as we enter
We do science everyday that affects your daily life
Throw them up for manned space flight

Science everywhere
As we engineer the marvels
That fly though the air
And take us way beyond earth's levels

Science everywhere
Because we engineer the marvels
That fly though the air
Flys us through the air

Control the mission out of Johnson
This is ground, hey!
And this is space, hey!
Tell me Houston what's the problem
It's okay!
It's okay!
Because there's flight controllers on the job today

Where we work and live in space with a crew from several nations
Got Japanese, and Russians, that European charm
Throw them up, like the Canada Arm

Kicking out research

Science microgravity, revolves around the earth
Columbus, JEM, and Destiny
Kicking out research
Kicking out research

Train the astronauts at Johnson
To go to space, hey!
To go to space, hey!
Cause the missions of tomorrow
Start today, hey!

As we engineer the future day by day
