Ok, well.... not really. Most of this news is already a day or two old, but here are my thoughts on it anyway.

Mt. St. Helens could blow any day now. Over the past few days seismologists have recorded hundreds of tiny earthquakes from inside the core of the mountain. Not to mention the fact that the entire north side of the mountain rose about 2 inches overnight on Tuesday evening. Could happen tomorrow, could happen next year, may not happen at all. I'm interested to see what happens.

The first privatized flight to outer space occurred this week with the next flight set to occur on October 4th. The Spaceship One craft made it 67 miles above sea level with the equivalent weight of three people on the ship. If it successfully completes the next flight, the Spaceship One team will win the 10 million dollar "X-Prize" which is being offered to the first team to build a private spacecraft to complete two round trip journeys at least 65 miles into the atmosphere and back. They fully expect to go commercial by 2006 and have more than 3000 passengers in space by the end of the decade. At a small cost of about $250,000 per person.

The National League's least loved team has finally found a new home. The Montreal Expos played their final home game north of the border on Wednesday night. The next time they step on the field for a home game it will be at RFK stadium in Washington D.C. for the beginning of the 2005 season. They'll play their first three seasons in Washington there while a new ballpark is being built. No one is quite sure if the Expos name will stick, but it's doubtful. They will most likely bring back the name "Senators" after Washington's last MLB team that moved to Texas to become the Rangers in 1971. Good for Washington, good for baseball.
