Castles made of sand…

a butterfly.

In an epic battle between good and evil, I’d choose the side of the Energizer Bunny.

I did my good deed for the day: I helped jump start the vehicle of some neighbors who were trying to go to the beach. I was on my way to the beach too.

There was a sight to see on the way there. One shuttle sitting on each launch pad. Its significant because its history in the making. This is only the seventh time that both shuttles have been on the pads, and the last time that this will ever happen.

Atlantis on the left, Endeavour on the right.

Life is like a jigsaw puzzle: we go about asking ourselves, “does this piece fit here, or here, or here….” Sometimes they fit, sometimes they don’t. Oh, and no one gave us the picture on the front of the box.

Bake me some sugar cookies and I will love you forever.

There must be some balance between young and foolish; and old and stupid.

Hello birdy!

VAB up close

Looking up in the VAB… some 500 feet up. This picture doesn’t do it justice, you have to see it for yourself.

This a picture of the underside of the Mobile Launch Platform (MLP) as it sits in the VAB. This captures the scale: the top of the picture is the bottom of the MLP; underneath you can see standard equipment and how small it looks.
