The shuttle is the little dot in the picture

There wasn't much in the way of a shuttle view today. Mom and I were able to view the launch from a roof top loft thanks to our neighbor Pauline, who arraigned with a friend from her church, a place for us to watch. I got more views of the birds on the wires than a bright light ascending into the sky. I didn't even get to hear the sonic rumble of the engines after a launch. It use to shoot up the coast like the blades of a helicopter taking off. The tiny little speck in the middle of the picture is the shuttle. It was threatening rain at launch time, but now it is hazy and overcast. It still looks like a very hot day. The neighbor kid across the street just dragged in from a hard day at school. I bet he would want something cool to drink and a television set to forget school for awhile. Maybe a better launch next time. I hope.
