Hey Los

Didn’t feel it, but here on the East Coast, we have the privilege of watching it launch – even though we’re about 4 hours away, on a beautiful day like this past launch you can see it clear as day from the beach. The previous launch (night launch) was beautiful in the sky just over our house. Haven’t seen such excitement in the sky since GW flew in for the G8 summit a few years ago.

God bless,
Fred

I thought someone was robbing the upstairs – I ran up there with a boat oar looking like a complete fool going room to room looking for the perpetrator so I could whack him over the head… no masked bandit.

We live by an airport so my next thought was that debri from a plan had somehow crashed into our roof… no signs outside.

It wasn’t until later in the day did I remember the new saying “you might hear a loud boom tomorrow if the shuttle lands in Ca”.

It was more like someone had dropped a safe through the ceiling!

(at the risk of getting blasted: since when does the shuttle land with it’s rocket boosters still attached?)

I suppose Louisiana was just too far away. I know what you mean about wonder though man. 2 nights ago we had a thunderstorm, one of those that you “feel” the thunder and are blinded by the lightening. It was wild. I took my Kiddo out on the back patio and she clutched me with huge big wild eyes as we watched the lightening. It was great!

My wife did, but I was on the freeway on my motorcycle – so I didn’t.

If you pay attention in So Cal you can hear that sound more frequently than you might expect. Seems they are always testing something. Although, it’s not usually as pronounced as the shuttle boom. Often times you’ll get a double boom from the shuttle. Kinda cool.

I felt it over in Costa Mesa. I was sittin’ in my house and my walls and windows started to rattle so I walked out ready to rumble with whoever was shaking my house cause I knew it wasn’t an earthquake. I guess I should apologize to my neighbor for punching him in the face for lying to me. =)

THAT TOTALLY AWESOME! And I know what you mean about that wonder. It’s kind of sad that we lose it as we grow older.
