T-minus.... quite a while

Here are some more photos of the recent shuttle launch preparation.  These were supplied to me by a colleague who has a friend at NASA.  These are the type of images, that we rarely see... they're not sexy, they're not exciting... in fact they're rather mundane... well, mundane if you work for NASA.

But for the rest of us, they're an interesting peek behind the curtain, of one of the most exciting aspects of modern life.  Enjoy.

You're Manic May - honestly your header always changes - your profile (or elvis') keeps changing.........you never know what you're going to get!  I've always liked variety and liked the unexpected........you take it to an interesting realm :)

Home is where the hearth is.

Just tryin' to keep it interesting, Liz.   We can't all be as beautiful as you... some of us have to "pump it up" with Rock Icons, and cartoonesque headers.

Life is like a box of chocolates...
