h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Dear Baron, Grimm,

I had no idea you were such an aristocratic monseigneur.!! Really here was I thinking you were just involved in the Space Race. i really am a dim wit. !!

Anyway I have made a remarkable recovery after my wretched stroke and the exercises which you say you did NOT tell me about are really a help. I am now going to write to Icy north(tomorrow hopefully I am tired now, and thank him for them. i know someone very bright gave them to me and they really have helped.

did actually have all the tests - angiogram for my heart and then some special ones for my brain when I was put into an enormous cavern. I must write about it seeing as how I started off life as a radiographer, shortly after Marie Curie(nee Waleska(?) discovered the Roentgen an inadvertently Xrayed her hands. !!. Have I ever told you that my Fremch Grandpere was in the same physics class at the Sorbonne as Maria and her husband Pierre. !

And that is totally true.

Go well and I hope to hear from you soon.

I'm glad to see you made the transition over here to our new address. As I mentioned, my title, "Baron Grim" is merely anagramatic and indicates no peerage, class or position however my attitude and humor can tend toward the grim at times. As to the exercises you practice, those were recommended by someone else, possibly Gnomon or Icy North.

Hi Baron Grim.

good to hear from you.

( am off for a few days to look at a very pleasant residence for oldies like me....I hope it is agreeable. I must write to Icy North now. i miss the fact that there are no UFOs dashing around the skies....It really was fun to see them exactrly where I was told je to look. That us so very very "cleavaire"......

go well,

There are still plenty of satellites to see and also the huge International Space Station. There are various tools on the internet to help you find the next siting opportunities.
Here's an official website by NASA, you just select your location: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/

Here's another site that is good and it shows a real time map showing where the ISS is at any moment, (when I just looked it was about to pass over Tiera del Fuego.) http://www.heavens-above.com/

In just a couple of years there should also be a few commercial space craft in the skies and in about 5 years, NASA should have a heavy lift rocket and the Orion capsule to venture beyond Low Earth Orbit.

Very deqr Baron Grim = though I preferyour former name. !!

what a wonderful present to find all that wonderful information which you sent me. thank you so very very much. / Now i must get my bearings again and work out where to look.

Goodness me the sky is so busy. i do not thik I would ever have the courage to go in a space craft - just admire those who do.

I have had a few days in a watering hole just d0wn the coast. I have also for the first time in about fourteen years had an hour of chinese massage. Years ago I had a course of acupuncture which did me the world of good. Now honestly, my brain has been completely cleared of much and nonsense and i feel as if I am going to very easily reach my century. ooodness, gracious mE

Kind regards,

Christiane.
