I'm watching the qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 as I type this and it's one of my favorite times of the year. As a little boy, my dad and I would listen to the race on the radio (WIZE-AM ) in the garage then later that night watch it on ABC. It was just me and my dad all day and I'll always treasure those times.

My favorite driver was Al Unser Sr. I got to meet him here in Dayton after he won the Indy 500 one year. He signed a picture, messed up my hair and talked to me for all of 30 seconds. But to a little star struck boy it was an eternity and I can remember it today, 45 years later?, like it happened yesterday. Too bad more of todays sports "heros" don't realize what just 30 seconds can mean to their young fans.

Anyway, for my dad who's long since gone and in anticipation of "The Gratest Spectacle In Racing" one week from today, here's Al Unser Sr. in the coolest race car ever. The 1971 Johnny Lightning PJ Colt.

In honor of all those who lost their lives fighting for freedom not only American but from around the world. Although from Memorial Day (Decoration Day) 2012 it's still nice today.

This is the Helix Nebula in the constellation of Aquarius.

From here

Planetary nebulae are actually the remains of stars that once looked a lot like our sun. These stars spend most of their lives turning hydrogen into helium in massive runaway nuclear fusion reactions in their cores. In fact, this process of fusion provides all the light and heat that we get from our sun. Our sun will blossom into a planetary nebula when it dies in about five billion years.

When the hydrogen fuel for the fusion reaction runs out, the star turns to helium for a fuel source, burning it into an even heavier mix of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. Eventually, the helium will also be exhausted, and the star dies, puffing off its outer gaseous layers and leaving behind the tiny, hot, dense core, called a white dwarf. The white dwarf is about the size of Earth, but has a mass very close to that of the original star; in fact, a teaspoon of a white dwarf would weigh as much as a few elephants!
