A Starman moment
by Effie in the desert 14 May '12

14 May '12

On Saturday I went on a wildflower nature walk at the Wild Horse Wind Farm. Yeah, the same place we went last summer. There were dozens of people there, most of whom were from the west side of the state. The guide was walking, talking, showing various types of plants. She was talking about how some had bloomed earlier and how others were yet to bloom. A thirty-something man walked up to her and said, "We arrived late so could you explain what you mean by 'go to seed'?" I was amazed. How can someone get to that age and not understand that plants make seeds in order to propagate themselves? He and his wife had never been in Central Washington. The arid land was a total shock to him. They've lived in Seattle for two years and before that came from North Carolina. He didn't understand why things on our side are brown and grey. He's lived in green places his whole life so how did he never understand all those plants came from a seed? Or maybe like groceries, he thinks that seeds come from a package. Effie

Sun 05-13-12 03:22 pm Hi Effie, I've only recently discovered how to properly white list email addresses so they'll go through the spam filter at starmanet.com, and I realized I'm going to have to regularly monitor the spam because the spam detector is being aggressive (even on the "low" setting!). So when I was looking at the spam yesterday I saw this one was trapped. So... I'm going to download your story to my Kindle for reading this week. :D -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [UTS] FW: My Harry Potter Story From: Effie in the desert <wadesert(a)hotmail.com> To: uts list <uts(a)starmanet.com> Date: Sunday, May 13, 2012 10:59:59 AM >Call me dense, but when I sent this the other day and it bounced on me, >I thought it got delivered to everyone else.

Call me dense, but when I sent this the other day and it bounced on me, I thought it got delivered to everyone else. But perhaps not since no one except Bethany has mentioned it. Or perhaps the rest of you haven't looked at it yet-or in the case of Joyce has no interest in HP.

Well, I started it then. I finished it about 16 months ago. But it's taken me until now to get it "born" and out in the public. Effie http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8100467/1/His_Final_Rest

Paul and Jenny's Special Song
by Chuck S 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

I was watching the music videos on the "Extras" Disk last night and saw someone had done on "Somewhere Out There" from "An American Tale." This song is the one I always envisioned for Paul and Jenny, long before I discovered someone put it on the Extras DVD, even long before I discovered SSI. It was a big hit at the time of STARMAN, so it fit right in. This particular version is spectacular. and really captures Paul and Jenny's relationship. If you want something uplifting today, play this: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkI-B2JWSZI> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkI-B2JWSZI Chuck

It is real. All the big planes are actually transported by federation starships. This one was just caught with its cloaking device turned OFF. Those reoports you sometimes here of pilots seeing UFOs?
