Every star in our Milky Way galaxy has at least 1 planet

Every star in our galaxy has at least one planet orbiting it, according to a new study, which suggests that alien planets are far more common than we thought.

The data suggests that each star hosts at least 1.6 planets. There are at least 100 billion stars in our galaxy, according to Space.com, which means that we probably share it with more than 160 billion alien planets.

That estimate is a massive increase on the 700 planets astronomers have so far identified outside our solar system.

The Ole Village Greens Golf Course

Peez took me out to one of our old college favorites 2 weekends ago. The course is called THE VILLAGE GREENS and it resides in lovely Ozawkie, KS near Perry Lake. We played this course quite a bit in our later days in college because it was cheap and fun. All we had was Alvamar when we were at KU and she’s a little pricey for college kids. Anyway, it was humid and hot but good times. After, we stopped in Oskaloosa to watch the final round of the PGA at some local ‘downtown’ bar called Angie’s?

Simulating A Right-Click From The Keyboard

I have been doing quite a bit of LogMeIn (IT Reach and Rescue) lately and sometimes my mouse right-click does not work to get context menus. Therefore, if you ever have this issue, just select the icon or item you need and press [Shift] [F10]. I am sure Tim could have told me this, but he wasn't here :)
