PE,

Have you seen my poem Columbia Crew? It was a runner up in a contest. I did not win the big prize, but the poem was publish. If you wish, I will post it on my poetry thread The Dragon Flies' Lair. FReepmail me if you would like me to post it.

"Crazy! I mean like so many positive waves ...

LOL. At least now I know what you all are talking about!

Afternoon Johnny.

The helicopter made famous in the Iranian Hostage Rescue attempt.

[SAMWolf]

LOL! Now she'll know what we're talking about. :-)

I just ride 'em, I don't know what makes them work.

[SAMWolf]

LOL! If it was bad and it happened in world history, it was Bush's fault

[SAMWolf]

Post it here Feather!

Woof, woof, woof!

Columbia Crew

Columbia Crew

Their dream will live

they gave their all

they were tall

Now in halls

lighting the skies... they fly

They are looking in

at the edge of time

standing on the rim

seeing the beauty

of the cosmos with

angel eyes...

Standing in the midst

of the mighty

White fleet of heaven's

angelic messengers

Yes they are tall...yes,

Gone too, soon...

Thanks Feather, One of your best. :-)

[SAMWolf]

That's my other dog impression.

[Soaring Feather]

Thank You Sam.

I remember when you wrote this feather. I'm glad you won the prize for it and had it published. Thanks for posting it here at the Foxhole.

[Soaring Feather]

Thanks snippy, I did not win the prize for this poem.

I won for My Dragon Fly and Me, (Book Contract).

Columbia Crew, could have won second prize in another contest in 2003. It was a semifinalist, and the prize would have been $10,000. Alas, it was not a winner.

[SAMWolf]

Just more incentive to keep trying.

Thanks miss Feather. I saw the smoke trails that day. The realization was terrible.

I was inside voting when she passed over. I didn't realize at the time, that the landing had been delayed one orbit. I've been hooked on space since I was 4, so I would have been watching the skies.

The beginning of my Space Geekhood. Me looking at Apollo 11 moonrocks.

I was able to see a shuttle once, back in 1983. I was in basic training. We were assembling from the afternoon Retreat ceremony, when she came over the base atop the 747. We broke ranks to run for a better view. Very cool!

Well, the important question about the New York campaigns is when will President Washington admit he made mistakes and apologize to the American people for losing New York City to the British?

LOL. No worries. It was Bush's fault.

[SAMWolf]

Your're a Space Geek?? How come I'm the last to find out?

[SAMWolf]

Hi Samwise! Feeling better, we need you on the mend.

[Soaring Feather]

Your're a Space Geek?? How come I'm the last to find out?

Sam, he Profile page tells all! LOL

What's needed is bi-partisan commission to look into the matter. That American people deserve to have the TRUTH told about this obvious dereliction of duty.
What did he know? and when did he know it?
