[Cinder & Smoke]

*Bites tongue.....HARD*

?? Sumpin I said?

Did I step on a tender toe?
KAT got your tongue?

Don't be bashful -
Speak your mind!

[Lady's Human]

I can't speak my mind about Congress........It's a family site.

But, to steal a verse from a song from the musical 1776....


I do believe you've laid a curse on North America
A curse that we now here rehearse in Philadelphia
A second flood, a simple famine
Plagues of locusts everywhere
Or a cataclysmic earthquake
I'd accept with some despair
But, no, you sent us Congress.
Good God, sir, was that fair?

[Lady's Human]

Next launch attempt tomorrow morning at 8AM

Also from 1776

John Adams:

"It has come to my attention that one useless man is called a disgrace, two are called a Law Firm, and three or more are called a Congress!"


Great musical, especially if you catch the complete musical with "Molasses to Rum to Slaves" left in (It was edited out of some versions)

If you all don't start putting 'EST' next to the launch times, I am going to petition to have your astronaut cards pulled.


I always have the momentary loss of time zones and then panic sets in- I start to do the math then figure if I am late or early.


Now, to set the alarm for "earth time" tomorrow morning..5 a.m. PST!

[Lady's Human]

I've been ordered not to break the speed limit on my way home from work tomorrow morning..........I get out at 7 AM EST, and the launch is theoretically at 8 AM.

Got to get comfy on the couch with the pretzels and Cocoa.

Thanks!!......4:50 pst...

Speaking of pretzels?

I bought an industrial sized bag of Halloween candy that had all kinds of assorted stuff inside.

I had a bag of pretzels sticks too. I took a tootsie roll out-no, not the kitteh kind- and flattened it out with my fingers and wrapped it around the pretzel......


I wasn't bad. It wasn't the messy chocolate covered pretzel stick I have had before......

Now to find a way to improved on the concept...

Astronaut pretzel sticks in the shape of rockets??

The Left Coast is gonna be *pi$$ed* when he tunes in at "Oh:dark:Thirty"
this morning ... the FireWorks won't begin till 11:00 am EDT = 08:00 LCDT
(LCDT = Left Coast Daylight Tyme).

Now, about the TZ notations:

Is your suggested "EST" to stand for "ESTIMATED" or "Eastern STANDARD Tyme" ???
("Etimated" as in wild, hopeful, complete guess)

11:47 Edit:

GOOD GREF, people - let's just DO IT!
Now the Weather Gurl is *waving* her RED Flag for another Weather Hick-Up!

Darm P-corn is gona get cold - again!
11:50 = TWO Weather NO-goes.

[Lady's Human]

I think Richard is still hung over from the scrub yesterday morning.
