Not much time for blogging this morning, but I thought I’d share this beautiful picture of Saturn, its moon Tethys, and Saturn’s rings. The image was taken from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft.

Last night I wandered over to the annual St. Anne’s Festival in Hoboken. I’m not big on these sausage frying, elbow bumping, mini-carnavals, but I was meeting a friend there. Never found him in the crowd, but I did see a tanned, bow-tied, and bo-toxed version of Joe Piscopo on stage. It’s seems he’s trying to pick up where Frank Sinatra left off as king idol of Hoboken. Frankly (pun intended), I’d rather we had some other icons to celebrate, like Edgar Allen Poe, who supposedly lived here for a while. I like Frank, I like his music, but it can become a little tiring in this town that seems to name every street after him, that has hundreds of his pictures hanging in every bar, and has Hobokenites unable to name some other well-known figure that came from this town, who, from rumors, I was told didn’t like this town very much. I think it’s about time we made some new idols.
