Duck: did you snag Endeavour?

I have not one thing to promote. You might have noted my retired status. Regarding letting others judge me, I do, every time I do something you consistently fail to do, post a link to one of my "snapshots". ....and you are certainly not one to judge my career. The only individual self promoting around here is you, and we are not sure what it is you are promoting. Certainly not your photography. Bully? Me? I'm just an old dawg in need of a belly rub.

How ironic that you were able to find us down here where you dwell. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Oh, Tony Polson (aka "Bruce"), congrats on finally getting those photos off of railfan. That reduces the noise level of the photo universe considerably. Try to keep them off of the net now, will you.

It landed in Ottawa - a buddy of mine and I flew his C-172 there to see it up close on the ground. Impressive. (It may not have been called "Enterprise" at the time for that matter). He took video IIRC. I didn't have a camera with me). Unfortunately, no! The closest it got to me was the fly over of the Monterey Bay Aquarium ( 36.618253,-121.901481 ). I was some 90 miles South in the Lake Nacimiento area ( 35.7204983333,-120.8808650000 )with other stuff happening. I was going to try to get a few shots as it flew around Houston, but.. I forgot about it... It was real early in the morning also, and I would have had to fight rush hour traffic. I also considered going over to Ellington on it's stop there, but they said the traffic around the area was a nightmare.. I'm kind of glad I avoided all that. Oh well.. another day, another $2.13... BTW, I think it's a damned shame none of those shuttle got to stay at JSC.. I think we got the seat out of one... Or sumtin like that.. :/ I think it was a mistake to retire the things before we had something up and running to replace it. Depending on other countries to bus us back and forth to the ISS rubs me the wrong way. Not to mention, having the shuttle could come in very handy if there were ever a major emergency on that thing. |
