Steelers Back in the Superbowl!

Looking for Ring #6! Well, if the old adage "the best offense is a good defense" holds true then the Steelers should win Superbowl XLIII without too many problems. Much will be made out of Arizona's Cinderella run, much like the Steelers did in the post-season of 2004-2005 when they went on to win Superbowl XL. Also, the whole thing about the Arizona coaches all being former Steelers coaches will give sportscasters a lot banter about. In the end, I say close first half, but then the Steelers pull away with a big victory!

New Mexico Spaceport

Well it's official! Spaceport:America is destined to become a reality. After years of planning and revenue seeking, the spaceport has cleared all hurdles and is scheduled to begin construction in early 2009.

Here's hoping that all those involved make sure that the project is done right. Millions of dollars, not to mention jobs, a local economic boost, and the space dreams of many, are all hanging in the balance. The spaceport has had many naysayers, especially those who have to pay more taxes for its construction and operation. With the backing of Virgin Galactic, the State of New Mexico, and many in the space industry, Spaceport: America could and should be one of the best things to happen to Southern New Mexico in a long, long time.
