Khay and Wannabe
at dinner
My wonderful Abby Brothers. They were only with us for about two years but they made such an impression. Khay died first and then a year later Wannabe.
Trying to get some pictures into the mix
I have noticed that this photo seems to want to travel up and down as I type, so I will leave it where it is and see what happens. Any way this is my first experiment with photos in my blog. I think it is nice to have a photo accompany a blog, something I know everyone from 360 liked to do.
So I am getting in the mood of Samhain here at the old Multiply blog.
How about you?

What do you think?

Explanation:How will our universe end?Recent speculation now includes a pervasive growing field ofmysterious repulsivephantom energy that rips virtually everything apart. Although theuniverse started with aBig Bang, analysis ofcosmologicalmeasurements allows a possibility that it will end with aBig Rip. As soon as few billion years from now, the controversial scenario holds,dark energy will grow to such a magnitude that ourown Galaxy will no longer be able to hold itself together. After that,stars,planets, and then evenatoms might not be able to withstand the expansive internal force. Previously,speculation on theultimate fate of the universe centered on either a re-collapsingBig Crunch or aBig Freeze. Although theuniverse's fate is still a puzzle, piecing it together will likely follow from an increased understanding of the nature ofdark matter anddark energy.
