In The week of August 27thish, Marks will be closer than it has ever been in 60,000 years. My mom got an e-mail from a friend about it and I had to double check it, so here's the nasa site.

I remember that. I might've seen mars, but it just goes to show how much it impacted me. I'd completely forgotten about it afterwards.

Ahh yes. Why these e-mail are goin round I don't know, but they're littered with holes. But hey, there's always something once in a lifetime going on in space. I caught Halley's comet in 86 and remember thinking to myself, if I'm lucky I'll see it again in 76 years.

I had long hair... (it was down to like my chin) then I cut it so it came down to my eyebrows... now it's coming about halfway down my nose and I want to cut it again.. I've got to be like the only short haired person on here!
