Well, the drought here in the Houston area is officially over for now and my lawn is growing like crazy. Wish I could have one of these for lawn maintenance and also to keep the Jehovah's Witness folks from knocking on my door!

Taken on my last trip to South Africa, a nice big male Black Rhino grazing on some grass.

I just took this from the conference room down the hall. That's Discovery on the way to the Smithsonian.

I still can't believe The National Museum of the US Air Force didn't get a shuttle.

I did see one of these in the sky today. Have to remember to be outside at lunchtime tomorrow to see them fly over Date-unnnn.

Nice. I saw it twice, but both times it was too quick to take a picture, and neither was as good an angle.

Visited my daughter in Seattle last week and as she had to go to work early I vacated her apartment just before sunrise and went down to Pike's Place market to kill some time.

You're in Virginia, right? where?

It flew right over my son's elementary school in Arlington. Some Astronaut had attended the elementary school, so they made sure to fly over on their way to Dulles. The whole school was outside waiting, and saw it. (My wife teaches there and she texted me that they saw it too.)

I saw it on my commute, on my way from DC to Dulles. Apparently, it made an excellent appearance right by my building, but I missed it.

and you can't even see the wire that supports the jet fighter...
