What a wedding!

PP visited and saw first hand what nature wrought on Dixie yesterday before jetting off to the Cape. Originally he, mamaO and entoutage went down to watch Gabby's man, lift off from earth's gravity for the vacuum of space. Next to the last shuttle mission before PP mothballs the program. Hereafter, we have to be especially nice to the Russians for they have the only ongoing orbitor program that takes occupants and supplies to the ISS. PP can't shut down the ISS unilaterial. Sorry dude, NASA posponed the lift off because of mechanical reasons. (hold that thought, I will revisit.) It took guts for PP to come to the CAPE, knowing he was responsible for closing down the program and turning it, I guess, to civilian enterpreurs. That decision was a good one and will have legs in the long term. In the mean-time however, PP is laying off tens of thousands of direct and indirect employees whose careers are limited to the areospace industry. This action should do wonders for the job recovery rate.
I composed part of the above while sitting on the patio yesterday, in a day of sunshine... firsts in weeks. I also came to the following conclusions why PP went South. 1. To Clintonize the southern states affected by a 100 year event. "The gov't is here to help". 2.PP came to the CAPE, for political reasons knowing Cong. Giffords (DLP-AZ) was to be there, pick up votes for 2012. 3. Giffords' hubby was the shuttle flight commander, a few more votes. 3. The atmosphere at the CAPE probably would be artifically high for above reasons, as compared to the last flight which will be a bummer. 5. Whoever booked the pick-up commencment address should get $50.00 gas gift certificate, justify the ~$250,000 trip?
Revisit: NASA knew PP was to be among the VIPs to witness the second to last lift off, suddenly discovered a heat exchange malfunction in the orbitor, call time out. and sent everyone home ...until Monday 05.02.11. Maybe it just me, but can't help thinking... NASA did one for the Gipper. No, but just a small maybe?
Hey, the Brits know how to throw a party. I wish Bill and Kate the best. Looks like they are going to lead normal lives. I like their car...Auston-Martin rag top, I do believe, Chee'r-e-O!
