Out To Launch

Bummer. It seems my friend Bonnie flew all the way down to Cape Canaveral to watch the shuttle lift off and the mission got scrubbed. All that travel for (relatively) nothing.

Reminds me of the time I was living in Landsberg am Lech. The town of Füssen was in our district, so we decided to take a little trip on Christmas Eve. First, we met up with our colleagues in Kempten/Allgäu and spent the night. On Christmas morning, we hopped a bus for Füssen to tour the two famous castles there -- Hohenschwanngau and Schloß Neuschwannstein.

And guess which is the only day of the year that Neuschwannstein is closed?

Bah, humbug.
