I would love to walk there. Or (even better) on Mars.
Could you fix it for me? Please.
if only my name was Jim. . .
(should that be "were Jim"?)

Playlist, eh?
Wonder if that was an 8 track.......even though it was 10.
Hmmmmmmm.....
U.S. tax dollars at work allowing astronauts to jam tunes through the cosmos.
He lived 'til 69, and died in a motorcycle accident? That's a life well lived :-)
Ok. I think I've got it now. Thoroughly teased :)

I don't feel humbled. I just feel wrong.
Great little teaser. Do another one.
Have a Friday Crunchie on me, for a change.
