I had a bunch of things to say today but I've just run out of steam. It's been a long day and I can't focus enough to write anything substantial.

So, I offer you these two links to images that are pretty cool. A woman was on a commercial flight high above Florida when the Space Shuttle launched. She posted two photos of what it looked like from her seat as the shuttle pierced the clouds. I hope she and the folks on the shuttle enjoyed their flights.

back in the day, this stack would have been gone in a couple hours to be used for various construction purposes (stairs, walls, tables, etc.).
