I had to take a few minutes off to watch the BIG Atlas rocket take off. Beautiful blue sky and bright yellow “burn” from the engine.

A billion dollar Navy(?), I think, satellite is on it’s way into orbit. Things are still active down here in the commercial and private market. I never get tired of watching the flight accelerate. Waiting for the sound to reach me is always a treat! ( windows and sliding doors did not shake much this time!)

Lucky you. My bucket list will never come to fruition. There are simply too many things on it to get done.

I'll just experience it vicariously through you if that's all right with you.
Blue skies and bright yellow “burns” I've seen aplenty and my experience of a CA earthquake will give me an idea of the shaking.
I'm content...enough. LOL
