Body decorations

Seen in several journals.

Do you wear any jewelry? What kind?

There are two pieces I wear almost constantly. My wedding ring (the third edition thereof.) and my Tyr rune pendant.

Do you have any piercings? Where?

Do surgical scars and staples count? :) To be honest, I just don't get piercings, and some of them really squick me.

Any tattoos? Where?

The famous World's Worst Grateful Dead Tattoo(tm) is located on my left bicep. Call ahead for tour times and lodging information.

Any plans for the weekend?

Going to a party and Grand Central Starport, and finishing up digging out the bedroom. I hope to strike oil.

Happy Perihelion!

From The Bad Astronomer

On January 4 at 05:00 Universal Time (January 3 at 9 p.m. Pacific Time), the Earth reaches perihelion,
or the point in its orbit where it is closest to the Sun. According to the Naval Observatory, the US's official keeper of such knowledge, the Earth will be 0.983320381 astronomical units from the Sun at that time, where an AU is the average distance of the Earth to the Sun. One AU is defined as a distance of 149,597,870.691 kilometers, so at perihelion
we'll be 147,102,635.20 kilometers from the Sun, give or take a significant digit or two.
