Hubble has been successfully captured by Atlantis. It was really cool to watch the grappler view, the same view Megan McArthur was using to maneuver it. And she got it on the first try! And it's her first shuttle mission!
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

My walk home is 2.66 miles. Probably a little less as sometimes I take footpaths that Google wouldn't trace.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's how I feel every time, Nora.
Hooray grappled Hubble!

That's true. And yet, it's best not to rush around down there. Pick your spots and savor them. Also, it's very important to arrange your day so that you can cab back to the Napoleon House at 3:00pm for a Pimm's Cup, then return to your hotel or B&B for a nap. Then you wake up, shower and go to dinner and seeing music.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My last trip to NOLA I had a great time working on the schedule of up and out by 9:30 - 10, drink in hand shortly after off to a tourist thing, stay perma-buzzed but never drunk all day, eat the big meal at lunch at the nicer places, try to get a spot in the sun in a patio for a few hours in the afternoon, shopping later afternoon, dinner, at the hotel and in bed by 10.

That's when the light is best. Plus, you can get a substantial nap in and not be groggy for dinner.
I didn't realize Kathleen Sullivan is gay! Oooh, that would be a cool choice, and you can't doubt her credentials. Though I think he's leaning towards Sotomayor, and Sullivan is reportedly not on the six person shortlist.
