Basketball and the Old Port

Last Friday night, a bunch of us (like 3 busses full) went down to Portland for dinner, a Red Claws game, and a night in the Old Port. Fun times ensued. Here are some (blurry) pictures to prove that it actually happened.

A pizza clock!

It was a great evening! I just wish my phone's camera had a better quality so these pictures were clearer. Oh well. 

Aroostook County Solar System

Over Thanksgiving, I went to Anna's house up in Houlton, ME, a.k.a. Canada. But, one cool thing about Aroostook County is their model solar system. A professor at University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) designed a to-scale model of the solar system- each planet is the size it would be in relation to the others, and is exactly the distance it would be from the sun (in this case, one AU equaled 1 mile). And so, Anna and I drove to all the planets and took pictures. Duh.

The cross-section of the Sun.

Venus.

Earth and the moon.

Jupiter

Saturn

Uranus

Neptune.

Little baby Pluto.

So, if you're ever up in The County, drive up Route 1 and find all the planets. It's a pretty fun challenge!
