Shuttle


In the distance and very small you can see the space shuttle.
It was overhead of Rick while he was in his van.
He was so excited to see it Tuesday that he pulled over to get the shot and then he called me.
Honestly if I didn't know it was the actual shuttle I am not sure I'd believe him from this photo.  I saw it on the local news so I knew he was not seeing things.

I used to think when I was a young girl that going into space would be so cool.
Now as an old curmedeogon you couldn't get me to do it.
Unless of course if you told me my family was coming to visit then I may reconsider leaving earth.

In fact when you put it like that I indeed would go.

"Peg, you're parents are on their way."

"Quick Rick, grab my space suit we're outta here!"

I've had this fly over my house, many years ago and was quite amazed. Honestly, it's something to see something that big, piggybacking.

We got a few really cool shots from friends at the Capitol and from a friend at the Pentago (hers of course are close and clear). We were happy they did a fly over in far SE. The kids were out for recess so that was pretty cool for them. I didn't bother going out b/c I thought fly over meant just that. I didn't know they'd circle half the city and come back again.

Arnebya - I too thought I'd never see it. The space museum where it will be now is by my home. But I figured i'd see nothing. I didn't realize like you said that they would be flying all over town over and over again or I would have gone outside to check it out. Cool.
