about 2:23 am tonight...should be spectacular..the sky is clear...we were going to drive over to cocoa beach but the spring breakers and other traffic concerns made us decide to just look east...it will light up like a roman candle..I have my camera set on night shots for fireworks..that ought to do it I hope..

You were expecting fireworks at a shuttle launch, eh? How January 1986 of you.

I wanted to be an austronaut before that black day. After that it was fireman for a few years. Thought it'd be less likely to get me killed.

I had a classroom of kindergarteners watching on the playground when that happened. It was a nightmare.

Awful...odd how a few years ago when the one shredded its way back into our atmosphere people were no where near as intrigued "just another day in Paradise"
