This video was taken February 11, 2010 at the launch of the Solar Dynamics Observatory aboard an Atlas V rocket at Kennedy Space Center. Notice what happens when the rocket entires the vapor layer containing the Sun Dog about 1:53 in.
I snapped this time-lapse video and the following images of the snow this morning. It came and went within a fairly short span.

Here are the timelapse I created of the snowstorm today. The timelapse was taken in Estill Springs, TN. I’ve also included all the photos I took during the storm. They are a mix of Estill Springs and Tullahoma mostly. A few are from cell phone cameras, the majority are from my d5000.

I encountered the following error in Aptitude after my Ubuntu 9.10 box fubar’d during an install. The message given by synaptic is similar.
Reading package lists… Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
The following sequence of commands fixed it for me.
#: cd /var/lib/dpkg
#: sudo mv status status-bad
#: sudo cp status-old status
#: sudo apt-get update
These photos were taken in Sewanee, TN on January 10, 2010.

Today I received a copy of a picture of John Payne Dotson in his Civil War uniform. He served as a Colonel in the 32nd Infantry Company K and later in the Calvary Battalion Company F of the Army of Tennessee. I’ve taken the photo and tried to clean it up some.
