Bucket list

[cjsmith]

Someone I value asked about my bucket list. I haven’t really ever written one up, but I know the green flash was on it.

I don’t have very much on there. Not any more, anyway. Id like to see Victoria Falls some day. Bucket list item? Perhaps. Maybe Machu Picchu, too. Maybe the northern lights (I’ve tried). The rest is stuff I can’t control.

What are some things on your bucket list?

One thing I have done is to remove goals. I wanted to live a whole life with my own teeth (nope, have an implant), without ever breaking any bones (pinky, rib), etc. A friend insisted that I stop thinking of body goals, so I have.
We saw the final shuttle launch (after trying before), so we squeaked by with that one. Northern Lights is one for us as well. We were amused to learn that a resort in Yellowknife offers heated lawn chairs for people to sit in while looking at the sky, but didn't actually book a trip. Have seen more than one solar eclipse, and hope for more. Hmm. So far they sound pretty sky-related, but I have no interest in jumping out of a plane.

Ditto on the Green flash and the Aurora [not bothered which pole]. I'd like to see the world, for preference from orbit, or the lunar surface. I.e high enough to see the curvature of the Earth. Simerily, I'd like to see sunrise on another planet.

I've already done a lot of cool things, e.g. see two eclipses, see polar bears in Churchill Manitoba, see the 40-foot tides in Nova Scotia, sail halfway across the atlantic, so my bucket's already pretty full.

Strangely, I have Mt. Rushmore and the Dakota Badlands on my list. Never been there or anywhere close. I kind of had scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef on the list, but it's seeming that I may have missed my chance there. I'd like to go scuba diving again.

If space vacations, or even day-trips, become a thing that people who are only moderately well-off can attain without spending their entire retirement funds in one day, I would like to do that. But I don't want to have to work as a wal-mart greeter for the rest of my life afterwards...

the northern lights are on mine too!
