Sometimes living in FL can be a bit of a drag - like in the winter when the roads are absolutely clogged with blue hairs and turtles with nothing better to do than sit around in their little land yachts with the windows up because its 60° outside and up north thats to hot and not how they do things while pondering the right turn from the left...
Then there are days like today that are so amazingly cool. The weather has changed just slightly so the swamp around my house is basically a drying mud pit at the moment and the air was a little different outside.... the dogs were happily leaving p-mail for the other neighborhood dogs and I look up in the sky and see a dot moving along... There goes the Space Station! Previous experience and having known what the return plans for the Shuttle were I hollered at my wife to come wave at the passing Astronauts above and about 5 minutes after the ISS disappeared into the horizon we hear 'Booom.. Boom.." as the Space Shuttle passed by overhead on its landing track towards Kennedy Space Center.
I see them go up, hear them come home.. sometimes even get to see them pass overhead.. Today I was reminded why living in Florida is sometimes so very cool.
