Correction: Curiosity should touch down at 10:31:30 PM board time.
Three seconds later the cables connecting Curiosity to the skycrane should be cut, and the skycrane then should fly away.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am so excited about Curiosity!

Lori is doing something since she worked on it. She's very excited.
Noah locked the one bathroom door we have with everyone on the outside of the bathroom. Even though we only have one bathroom. ARGH.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I love my gas stove, except that it has three pilots and the window A/C unit in the kitchen doesn't work.

I'm excited that I know someone who worked on it!

Yikes. Olympics: watching that Canadian vaulter just made me wince. That fall looked painful, and I wonder what was going through her head when she started running for the second vault and then balked.

Gas makes me nervous
Gas also makes me nervous, and I hate gas ovens. The heat is uneven, which screws up baking. Also, you have combustion products indoors, which exacerbates asthma. At least the stoves without pilot lights emit less.
eta: I felt so sorry for her, Hil.

I much prefer gas to electric. I have not lived in a house with an electric stove in over 20 years either. It's one of the things that matters to me when we look for new places (another is water pressure).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm excited that I know someone who worked on it!
Ditto!!
Holy crap, that vaulter is 37. (The German originally from Uzbekistan, I mean.)
