simon and i have been watching episodes of thunderbirds, a very bad u.k. tv show from 1964 with marionettes performing rescue missions. i kid you not. the aussies wonder why i haven't ever seen it until now. what did we do before dvd?

imagine the puppets from mister rogers' neighborhood of make-believe, flying futuristic jets and with lots of scary music in the background. it's kind of like that.
