I saw the very first shuttle launch live and in person. The launch had been scheduled for a Friday but was postponed until Sunday. A buddy and I were at work, we talked briefly, and decided to go see it. We drove all night from New Orleans in my still new Mazda RX7, and got into Orlando early Saturday morning. We got a motel room (I remember the name was "Kings Motel"), took showers, ate breakfast, and then went to Disneyworld. Late in the day we went back to the motel and slept. Then we got up early the next morning and drove the rest of the way to see the launch. Right after the launch we started driving back home. I had a battery operated B&W TV and we we able to catch glimpses of the launch coverage on TV when we were in range of a transmitter. Got back home Sunday evening, and went back to work on Monday . . . [|-)]

Add a bit of salt to the water.......... it changes the boiling temperature.

I sure hope you own stock in a battery company . . . []

New Orleans Saints' Sean Payton steals spirit from Dallas Cowboys' Jerry Jones By Mike Triplett, The Times-Picayune March 02, 2010, 6:12AM Chalk up another interception for the New Orleans Saints' defense. Caymus 2007 Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon. Saints Coach Sean Payton pulled a friendly prank on his former boss, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, while in Indianapolis over the weekend for the NFL scouting combine. The Saints held their staff dinner at the historic St. Elmo Steakhouse in downtown Indianapolis on Friday night, in the same private room that the Cowboys had reserved for the next night. Apparently Payton got word that Jones had reserved a special bottle of wine for the event, the only bottle of 2007 Caymus Special Selection cabernet sauvignon in the house. So Payton convinced the St. Elmo staff to let his party have the bottle instead. And then he added a hand-written note to the empty bottle to be left on the Cowboys' table the following night: WHO DAT! World Champions XLIV Sean Payton "He is someone that has always been good to me. It was very funny, " said Payton, who said he has a great relationship with Jones, whom he worked for as an assistant coach in Dallas from 2003 to 2005. Payton said he stopped by the Cowboys' dinner on Saturday to laugh about the prank. Jones said he was going to bring the bottle back to Dallas as a keepsake, but the bottle accidentally got broken at the restaurant. The Saints certainly earned their bragging rights with the first Super Bowl championship in franchise history last month, thanks to a thrilling 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV in Miami. But the Cowboys figure to be one of their toughest challengers in 2010, when their rivalry won't be quite so friendly on the field. Dallas ruined the Saints' perfect regular season last December by handing the Saints their first loss, 24-17 in the Superdome. The Saints will get a chance at revenge this season when they travel to the massive Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The date has not yet been scheduled. And both teams will be vying to represent the NFC in Super Bowl XLV -- which also will be played in Cowboys Stadium. http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2010/03/new_orleans_saints_sean_payton_1.html

Washington man electrocuted by urinating on power line By The Associated Press March 01, 2010, 2:28PM An Elma, Wash., man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a one-car crash near Montesano. Grays Harbor County sheriff's Deputy Dave Pimentel said Monday that Roy Messenger, 50, was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday night. Messenger called a relative to pull his car out of the ditch. When family members arrived they found Messenger electrocuted. Pimentel said Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn't see the live wire. Pimentel said there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through Messenger's body.

Here's a real time machine . . . http://www.radioshackcatalogs.com/catalog_directory.html Looking through the 1960's issues there's stuff in them that I remember having, stuff that I remember lusting over, and a few things that I still have. The "Globester" from page 60 of the 1969 catalog, for instance, It still works fine . . .

My mother used to talk about Knott's Berry Farm when I was very young. I was born in Corona, at the Naval Hospital. My dad was in the Marines and stationed there, and my mother was there with him. I was less than a year old when he got out of the Marines and returned to New Orleans, so I remember nothing about Corona. I did look up a bunch of stuff on the internet a couple of years ago about the "Norconian". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Norconian_Resort_Supreme

I've seen comments in this thread about Cokes being 10 cents, and about the "yellow" stamps . . . I've seen that someone has indicated they were born in 1954 . . . I guess you would have to be born in 1953 to know that the "yellow" stamps are "Top Value" stamps, and to remember Cokes costing a nickle, and you could take the empty bottle back to the store to get a penny back. And to remember your parents screaming when Cokes in the machine went up to 6 cents, a freakin' 20% increase. I can't say that I remember gasoline being 19 cents, but I do remember when all the pumps had a little glass dome with a little "anemometer" looking thing inside that spun around, so that you could be sure that gas was flowing into your tank? I remember that you could either be a fan of the Beatles or the Dave Clark Five, but not of both. I remember when the best concerts were the free concerts at the lakefront or at Audubon Park. Sometimes with big names playing, like the original Allman Brothers. I remember when "Wheels of Fire" was new, and "Are You Experienced". And rock music cuts that were like 20 minutes long were played on "underground" FM stations. Popeils Pocket Fisherman was a new product, and advertised on TV daily. I saw an open motorcade with JFK riding through the streets of New Orleans in May of 1962. I remember my 5th grade classroom when JFK was assassinated in November 1963. I remember going to look at a Honda "Z" car at the dealer when you could buy one brand new for $1200.

Brees, Payton outduel Manning By John Clayton, ESPN.com Naturally, Peyton Manning is taking criticism for not winning Super Bowl XLIV. That's unfair. The Saints' victory can be credited to how Drew Brees and Sean Payton out-maneuvered the Colts and -- to a certain degree -- beat the Colts at their own game. At first, I thought the Saints' coach was crazy for going for the touchdown on fourth-and-goal at the Colts' 1-yard line with 1:55 left in the first half. In retrospect, the strategy was brilliant. The league knows Manning takes control of games in the final two minutes of the first half, and, if the Colts receive the second-half kickoff as they were set to do on Sunday, they get a 10- to 14-point swing to their favor in those types of games. Heading into the Super Bowl, Manning and Brees led the league with 79 points scored in the final two minutes of their 18 games (including playoffs). Payton's decision to roll the dice with the fourth-and-goal run was the right call because he sensed Manning would have to be conservative with the play calls near his goal line. The Colts ran the ball three times and gained only 9 yards. The punt gave Brees 35 seconds to move the ball 26 yards for a field goal that cut the Colts' lead to 10-6. The brilliance of the onside kick to open the second half was it gave the Saints an extra possession and a quick touchdown drive that gave the Saints the 10-point swing Manning is accustomed to having. Super Bowl XLIV was just an example of how this league continues to evolve more to passing than running and how great the games can be. Manning brought the Colts back with a touchdown drive to take a 17-13 lead, but Brees answered with two drives that produced 11 points total to put the Saints ahead for good. Manning's interception was no different than the one thrown by Brett Favre in the final minutes of the NFC Championship Game. This wasn't a game that Manning lost. This was a game Payton and Brees won. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=4902352

Posted: Wednesday, 10 February 2010 8:30AM Insult added to injury for some Colts fans Chris Miller Reporting What could be better news for the economically depressed manufacturing sector than a surge in orders because a group of unlikely underdogs won the Super Bowl? Workers at an Adidas plant in the heartland are working overtime to crank out extra Super Bowl Champion Saints merchandise. Just one problem: that plant is in Indianapolis. Saints stuff is selling fast, and that means more orders to the factory that makes it, but a lot of the workers may be crying on the job! Plant manager and Colts fans Blake Lundberg says at least they can take those tears to the bank. "It's been hard for them, but from a business standpoint, it's been a great thing for us," Lundberg said. "They certainly wish they were printing Colts, but at the same time, they know it's good for business." He says even before the Super Bowl, pre-orders for Saints items outnumbered Colts orders. http://www.wwl.com/Insult-added-to-injury-for-some-Colts-fans/6329837

I'm not so sure about your parade "ending" time though........ The parade was scheduled to start at 5pm (which it did) at the Superdome, and end at 9pm at Mardi Gras World (near the Convention Center). At 9pm the first float was just getting to the Covention Center, as shown on WDSU TV that still had ongoing coverage. The WWL TV coverage ended a little after 7pm, and the WVUE coverage ended at 8pm. Not sure about WGNO.

We didn't attempt to go to the parade, but we have heard from people who were stuck in traffic for between two to four hours trying to get downtown. Some never made it there and had settle for parade coverage on the car radio. Estimates from fairly reliable sources are claiming 800,000 along the parade route. Live coverage that we watched on TV last night seems to indicate that could be a good number. I left Metairie at 2:30pm headed north, and the traffic headed southbound on the Causeway at that time was equivalent to morning rush hour. I had three DVR's recording coverage on WWL, WVUE, and WDSU, because my son had guitar lessons last night and didn't want to miss anything. Hopefully the Dtel's and Coulter actually made it to the parade?

Colts not offering any excuses for loss Indy defensive coach says Saints 'played better' Tuesday, February 09, 2010 By James Varney Staff writer FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. -- Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Larry Coyer sat outside a beach resort Monday pensively smoking a pipe like the football sage he is. "It's a simple game," he said. "The Saints simply played better than us." Coyer's succinct take on Super Bowl XLIV, in which the Saints defeated the Colts 31-17 on Sunday night in Miami, clearly was one the rest of the Colts' organization shared. In fact, it seemed to ameliorate the team's anguish because the outcome wasn't one that required internal recriminations but rather simple congratulations to the victor. As work crews stripped Super Bowl contact paper from lobby pillars and landscaped islands around the pool and beach, the Colts and various family members and well-wishers huddled in quiet knots. On a sun-soaked plaza out back, tight end Dallas Clark and some other Colts threw a small football with some delighted children whose happy yelps showed the defeat of the night before was not lingering with them. The classy resort on Fort Lauderdale beach, far removed from the splashy neon of South Beach, was the same one the Colts occupied when they came to South Florida and defeated the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI. The familiar digs were one element in Indianapolis' plan to replicate their previous experience and, in the process, win a second NFL title in four years. A few players moved about gingerly, and running back Joseph Addai, who played a standout game against New Orleans, said he was feeling the pain. "Oh, no, man, I am not," he said, when asked if he felt 100 percent. "I wish I could still be in bed." As he had Sunday night, Addai declined to consider whether the Colts had given him the ball enough against the Saints. Although he hurt New Orleans on several carries and was a big part of the team's first quarter 96-yard drive that tied a Super Bowl record for length, Addai finished with only 13 carries but ran for 77 yards (an average of 5.9 yards per attempt). It was as if the Colts, built around their superb quarterback, Peyton Manning, and the passing game were in uncharted waters when presented with an opportunity to control the game on the ground. "We'll have to watch the tape. We won't really know until then," Addai said. Coyer said some factors, such as the 70 minutes in real time that elapsed between Manning completions due to the Saints owning the second quarter and a longer than usual halftime, were overblown. "They had the same halftime we did," Coyer said. Still, the Saints' onside kick recovery to begin the second half was a major blow because it allowed New Orleans quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees right back into the groove. Although the Colts held the Saints to 51 yards on the ground and a 2.8-yards-per-carry average, they got almost no pressure on Brees in the second half. Relying on quick drops and the short passes the Colts left available by keeping the big play at bay, Brees killed Indianapolis with a thousand cuts. "I thought in the second quarter, he really found his rhythm and then that onside kick really galvanized him," Coyer said. "He always gets rid of the ball so quickly, that's his M-O, and he just got it going on us." http://www.nola.com/sports/t-p/index.ssf?/base/sports-46/1265696606283210.xml&coll=1
