Winter in Florida

Well, last Sunday evening it was still winter in southern Florida and the temp. was about 85. The space shuttle went up about 200 miles north of my condo. The good news was that I had a patio on the 6th floor with a clear view to the north and east. The bad news was that the shuttle went off a bit to the northwest, so I had an obscured view. Also, it was about dusk and the camera had a problem with the focus and I had a problem holding it still. Nevertheless, I obtained these pictures. That is an awesome thing to watch. Perhaps someday I will be able to watch it closer. Bob & Bobbie were on the opposite coast from me and they saw it also. Now it is spring in Florida and it is getting COLDER because I'm headed north. I'll be home soon! Keep the tulips blooming for me!! On Thursday this week it was warmer in Ohio than in Weston, Florida where I was. I'm told that Ft. Lauderdale got 4" of rain.

Tom, It is always nice when I can come down to your place and you're there. I used to do that a lot, but I have the W word to worry about and you get to travel. See you this week.
