No kiddin’… you’re a failed astronomer? Well, you are one-up on me. I’m just a dude interested in astronomy. Took an astronomy class in college; and went to a “Star Party”; but that’s about the extent of my formal education on the matter. Thanks for supporting me, you crazy Dutchman. Hey, I’ve been meaning to ask you (because I think of you when the Netherlands appears in the news); Why do you guys have an African Chief/King’s decapitated head in a big jar, preserved in formaldehyde? Heard that on NPR last week.

That’s something from our colonial past. Not necessarily the best chapter from our history. Anyway, he was sentenced to death after a couple of dutch people were killed by his tribe. It all had to do with putting an end to slavery.

I was just yankin’ your chain. I meant no disrespect to your country. You probably already know that; knowing me. The USA has done far worse. We can’t do anything about our histories. Thanks again, my friend.

Thanks for listening and reviewing! Did I ever mention, that I love your handle? Iggy is one of my all time favs.
