WE HAVE LIFT OFF, BUT WITH A DETOUR

Big crowds here for Spring Break and to watch a fiery daytime launch of a Delta C rocket. It put another of 12 new GPS satellites into orbit. The originals are 22 years old! So maybe your smart phone is a little smarter today, or you won't get lost this time? The other thing it put was awe in everybody watching. Brilliant flame even in midday sunshine, and a rumble like a freight train on your roof. Magnificent.




But we have a touch of the homesick and will be driving off before dawn tomorrow morning. Pat has once again cooked up everything in the fridge and packed all our stuff for the days on the road. The car got washed and waxed because it might be weeks back home before it's warm enough to do it there.


The cardinals will be waiting for a handout at the feeder. The Easter Bunny will be hippity-hopping up the Easter Trail in a few days. So we're heading home, but there was a deal we couldn't resist. We're detouring to Rio first...
