Google Earth is an easy distraction for me. There is so much to see there.

After looking up the museum in NYC, I started poking around the city. Now, I've been on 95 through NYC several times, and I've seen these buildings, but they always go by in a blur. Just look at these things. How can those few skinny posts under the bridge hold up that huge building? Just look at it.

When I attended high altitude physiology and wind tunnel training at Wright-Pat, I had time to tour the AF museum. I still have a silver dollar sized bronze medallion I bought at the souvenir shop the sales from which help support the museum. I wish the same could be done for the shuttles in lieu of an admission charge (rather than as a likely addition to it). Unfortunately, this seems to be being done on the cheap for the government; so, they'll probably even do the same thing the Smithsonian was chastised for by Congress by selling mostly foreign made souvenirs. At least my souvenir was made in the USA.

I stayed up waaaay too late finishing reading The Girl Who Played With Fire last night and now I'm having a great deal of trouble functioning, so I thought I'd come to the cellar and see if there's anything happening that might wake me up.

It's a fascinating place, isn't it?

Here's the press release from the museum:

National Museum of the U.S. Air Force

4/12/2011 - DAYTON, Ohio -- The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force was not selected to receive any of the operational shuttles or the gliding prototype Enterprise.

Although unfortunate for the Air Force, we respect NASA's decision and will move forward with our plans for a new fourth building to house the Presidential Aircraft Gallery, Space Gallery, and Global Reach Gallery featuring cargo and tanker aircraft. The Space Gallery will be populated with exhibits featuring the Apollo 15 Command Module, Mercury and Gemini spacecraft, and a Titan IV space launch vehicle for future display, as well as an X-15, X-24 and other assets which helped develop shuttle program technologies

Plenty o' room for anything here.

that is so true, munkie. mankie munkie. infinite mankey

...... I digress.....

This morning I went from asleep to behing the wheel with contact lenses in in less that 2 mins. And I sleep nude. Is this a new world record?

And yes, we caught the schoolbus. And no i didn't get pulled over for driving nekkid.

I wore my button down shirt inside out for a couple hours the other day. You think YOU don't like your uniform? Off the hanger, still buttoned, pulled over head, two hours later my cow orker says "WTF? Is that a fashion statement?"

Unmade bed of a woman.

I wore a blue t-shirt and grey sweatpants and no knickers or bra to the bus stop this morning ...and my 12yo's turquoise Crocs.

Fly the shuttles instead.

My brother used to work for USA. It bummed him out, because he got a job with NASA, and after a short while, they moved him into USA. He was still doing the same work, but would have preferred saying he worked for NASA. It has a certain ring to it.

I'm really really really really really sorry, but I have to go drink some beers. Ciao!
