Just got back from today's Shuttle launch this afternoon. From 6
miles away it makes a lot of noise! Unfortunately. there was some cloud cover, so we didn't get to see the SRB's separate, but it was still fun. Only one more launch left. See it while you can. The founder of the company lives in Port Orange in the same flying community that John Travolta lived in... until he bought his 707. He gave us a golf cart tour and bought dinner last night. Very nice place. Washed all the love bugs off the front of the 'vette and put her up. 1st road trip in her, sweet ride. On topic? Lots of boats, causeways, bridges, and water. And of course, Florida. |

What's not to like? We were docked in Miami last night and had hoped we might catch a glimpse of the launch this morning but no luck - too much cloud cover to the north and too far away. We did catch a night launch from Titusville two years ago and that was pretty spectacular. Beautiful weather today as we cruised north up the beaches. Caught a smallish bonito just south of Palm Beach Inlet, steaked it out, and are now in the process of broiling it for dinner. Smells delicious. |

Wonder wht is going to replace the shuttles. Last I heard the US government pulled a good chunk of their funding for bailouts and war. Not that NASA got that much to begin with, but Obama has his priorities screwed. -- Take a look at ANY country, more debt is more problems. So why do we allow our governments more debt? Selfishness, greed, denial, ignorance? |

Biggest surprise to me was the sound. I had always assumed that the crackling and popping noise you hear when seeing vidoe of a lauch was the microphone element being overwhelmed, much like a speaker cone that is being driven too hard. Nope, that's just how they sound! Enjoy your cruise, I'm sure you're having fun. |

We had a Giant Grouper living under our boat for a few days down in the Dry Tortugas a few years ago. Every once in awhile it would poke its head out so you could see it. The mouth on it was the size of a pie plate, looked like it could have swallowed a football in one gulp. If you ever find yourself in Point Lookout Md go to Scheible's restaurant. The crab cakes are great but take a look at the 326 pound J fish in his display case by the cash register. (I assume it is still there) Doug Scheible was running his head boat (Bay Queen) down in the Keys and some woman had a 30 pound or so Amberjack on and the mate was helping her reel it in when he saw the big fish following it up. When they got it on the boat they immediately hooked it up on a 6/0 rig and dropped it back to him. The woman was losing her mind. That J fish came right back and took that jack like it was a finger mullet. Long story short it is in the case now. These days you can't keep one. I've heard the spearfishermen nearly wiped them out, so the law stepped in. We had the same thing happen with Striped Bass. The law stepped in and they are coming back now... -- Team Rowdy Mouse, Banned from the Mall for life! |

I have not denigrated anyone. You are just trying to start a fight where there isn't any reason to. You made a racist comment about an entire group of people. It's clear you don't get it. What "racist comment"? I implied that a fish in a "shool" must be Jewish. How is that racist? Harry did correct me that it is really spelled "shul" but since it is translated from yiddish phonetically the spelling could go either way. You actually get to a Hindu term with that spelling but I suppose I would be just as racist if I made them Hindu fish Well maybe not. You have a very low opinion of east Asians. BTW I am always amazed that you atheists who have no problem saying horrible things about Muslims, Catholics and Christians lose your minds if someone uses "Jew" in a joke, not even an offensive joke. You atheists??? What planet are you calling from? |
