Back (Briefly) In LA
Back from the Central Coast. I had a delightful dinner with Bill Whittle (and Dana, for those who read EjectEjectEject) and Transterrestrial web designer (among other things) Bill Simon. And I (almost fearlessly) predict a flawless entry and landing for the Shuttle in a couple hours).

Well, OK, I wasn't considering the (always-present) possibility of subpar weather.

Rand, the biggest joke I saw was on netscape news, when they called the weather "dangerous". Really perfect weather with almost to many clouds, BUT let's be safe!
This reminds of the story of one of my rocket buddies of a trip to the spacecoast club. He dials the info number and gets a message to call back for launch update. This goes on untill what the hell let's drive out to the field. He arrives at the field to find a very sunny day, no clouds, and VERY LIGHT Winds, but nobody is to be seen. So he calls the club contact phone only to get a message, that the launch has been cancelled due to bad weather. The joys of launching with NASA weather, those high winds at 50K might interfer with a model rockets performance.
