    Saw a bike/car mishap this morning just after the contact. It was a slow motion accident with a simple fall over but I am not exactly sure what happened. The rider seems OK. He was more concerned about straightening his bent brake lever. Dunno if she cut him off or he just got too close and made contact.

    Pete Hegseth reporting from home has an American flag made from STS mission pins hanging above his desk. Too cool.
    G*d bless America

    I have an STS-97 patch and a STS-104 patch that flew on the missions. Keep those ones on display, i do.

    Since we’re in the Free Zone, here’s an STS-104 story. I’m at the cape, doing a final checkout of the space station airlock, days before it was to go to the pad. Just making sure everything looks like my drawing says it should look. When I notice it’s gotten quiet. I look around, I don’t see anyone. Then I drop my gaze a little. This not-very-tall, fairly elderly man in a blue jump suit is the only one in the work area with me. I look at the name on the flight suit: Young. In his mid-70s, still technically an active astronaut, looking over the hardware too.

    I was hanging out at work with the 9th man to walk on the moon, and IMO the best resume of any astronaut ever. One of those good days at the office. As much as I wanted to stop and ask for an autograph or a hand shake or something, I decided it would be better to play it cool and act busy...

    I used to work with the astronauts in Houston. Every test day they would come and an entourage followed behind them. John Young would come on test day and he carried an entourage of astronauts behind him. Those were the good ol days.
    You kinda got me there, I thought everyone bugged out and you could not find an ELSA

    I feel like mountain biking is not important any more! My head is not in the sand, but maybe it would be better for me to bury it as other sheep do?

    Right there! Stop! Stop whatever you are doing. It is not important.
    Go ride your bike now.

    Blasphemy as the idea might be, there are many things to do besides mountain biking. But they might not be as fun and good for you. :)

    Sounds like you might want to consider turning off the entertainment for a minute.
