the florida trip is a reality

somebody loves space. the space shuttle up close is impressive.

a 3 year old boy singlehandedly cleaning up daytona beach.

oh no my truck must be in the ocean

Space shuttle is REALLY impressive on blast off! Only saw it once, from 5 miles away. Shook my innards!!

Remind me to send Carl some swag from work.

One final observation as we go home today. Georgia, almost the entire state, smells like ass. Why is that? Hit GA line on 95 either way and it stinks shortly thereafter. Same thing heading north on 75. Do they do it because they are punishing us northerners for driving through their state ? Or does consuming coca cola as the exclusive state beverage create some sort of strange flatulence problem.

It can probably be fixed. Most of Jersey hardly smells at all.

Did you do the manatee swim thing?

I mentioned the manatee swim looked like fun. The wife said every time I swim is a manatee swim

And if you had used that line on the wife unit, what would the headlines read?

did not swim with them, will save that for when kids are bigger and can swim/not die in water.

home safe, sans any cars but with some new work tools from the tools direct outlet store. hooray for them, i got one thing i really needed and a couple i really wanted.
