Love the dog names. I have cats right now, and I donâ€™t think astronomical names lend themselves very well to cats.

We once had a big cat with a prominent ruff named ... what else? ... Leo.

Of course, if I get two at once, Iâ€™ll name them Courage and Triumph.

How about Chara and Asterion?

Recent article in Science News about bridges, featuring cable-stayed designs. It includes a photo of a similar Calatrava bridge in Spain. Ready for the article’s title?

“Bad Vibrations”

Enjoy.

Carter had a tan limosine during his presidency… maybe the Secret Service guy is wearing tan for the same reason. (Or maybe not…)

Didn’t Calatrava design the art museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as well?

My favorite work of Calatrava is the City of Arts and Sciences, in his hometown of Valencia, Spain.

Love the dog names. I have cats right now, and I don’t think astronomical names lend themselves very well to cats.

But if I got a dog again, I would want to give it a star name. I’ve always thought “Mintaka” (middle star of Orion’s Belt) would be a cool name for a big dog (maybe “Taco” for short). As for a little dog, I would want to name it Gomeisa (the *other* star in Canis Minor).

Of course, if I get two at once, I’ll name them Courage and Triumph.
