That was hardcore, what happened. It was on take-off, right after take-off, right?
I got back at noon from a 40-mi ride down and back from the cycle shop ("waaaaalll akshually we don't have that kinda clutch handle in stock, we'll hafta back-order it and call ya in a couple weeks, I reckon") and was sitting my frozen a$$ outside the coffee shop with a smoke, and some old guy came by and told someone sitting there that "the Challenger blew up this morning"... Well the Challenger done blew, God rest their souls, so I figured something else at NASA had gone screwy again-- went home to thaw out my feet and sure enough, all the news channels were talking about this... God rest their souls.
God rest their souls.
Amen to that, my FRiend...
