And we live to fight another day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, I'm glad I'm not from a former soviet state and waiting on a visa, like three of my classmates (two Moldovans and one Azerbaijani).

It also takes a long time to get a visa from Freedonia....

The MRO (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter) has emerged from the far side of Mars and everything looks good.
eta: Yay! They've confirmed it has successfully entered orbit.

That's the very site that told me my passport wouldn't be arriving until after my trip. So I called and upgraded my service, but it's not updated online yet.
