The Shuttle Has Landed


The Space Shuttle Atlantis passed over us this morning at about 9:00. It was a little to the south and there were some high clouds, so we didn't see anything. Supposedly, if the sky was clear, you could see it as a shiny speck with the naked eye. We did get to hear the sonic boom as it re-entered the atmosphere. There were two booms, very loud and close together. You get one from the nose and one from the tail. When we went back inside, we watched the landing on TV. A nice start to the day.

Kris called last night to say that she arrived safely in Cincinnati at about 7:00 pm. She had to go back to work today. Poor Kris.

After much trial and error, the ice-maker in the fridge is working for the first time on this trip. We no longer have to live like savages.
