I heard that the president was driven back to the White House from Camp David on Saturday for his brief address to the nation on the Columbia tragedy. They blamed it on weather, but I heard the weather wasn't that bad in the AO.

How was the weather on Saturday noontime?

I live in the same mountain range as Camp David, about 100 miles to the north in Pennsylvania. We were pretty socked in with overcast, drizzle and fog that morning.

There was some. But then again....I think there's weather pretty much 24 hours a day.

Tinfoil?

I've been looking for such stories. The UFO stuff is very weak so far, not up to the usual `quality.' ;)

But here's a sort of paranormal story:

Israeli Astronaut's Wife Says Daughter Had Premonition

"...Rona Ramon, spoke to the media for the first time since Saturday's tragedy.

"The only thing that haunts me now is that during the take off, while we were all in 'high', because it was such a wonderful and perfect event, my youngest daughter yelled 'I lost my daddy' and apparently she knew," Ramon said. "She is five years old. And that's the only thing that hurts."

I think it was still misting then, but the weather didn't seem that bad to me (looking out the window of my apartment at the time, listening to the news of Bush being driven to the White House.) I left home in my car shortly after 1 PM, and had no trouble driving.

I suspect the whole excuse of the weather is a smokescreen for security reasons. Remember those "anthrax" searches in the Catoctin Mountains the past couple of weeks. Somebody commented on a thread about seeing F-16's headed in the direction of Camp David at the time of Bush's return. Bush got to Camp David somehow on Friday. Presumably he was driven. Why couldn't Blair go that way too?

Speaking of questions about Saturday morning, not only was Card allegedly watching NASA TV at Camp David around 9 AM. The Joint Chiefs were able to get together for a domestic incident meeting by 10 AM or so. I commented on a thread at the time how strange that seemed to me.

I was going to ping you to this thread but somehow I knew you'd already be here. :)
