Nice! That’s the Space-X launch, right?

 

[Gary A.]

Yep. It was totally fascinating. Not something you see everyday.

 

[Gary A.]

Apparently, people were stopping on the freeways to watch.

On the way home, Mary Lou said her evening will be drinking wine and rapping.

Tonight it is a G. Stepp Pinot Noir *8*. Highly recommended to others who like wine.

Snow and freezing rain here. Just back from dinner and drinks with friends. Because of the snow on the ground you couldn’t see the lines in the parking lot and two asshats parked so close on either side of my car that I could not get the rear doors open and couldn’t even get to the front doors. One of them had backed in so each was parked with their passenger side against my car. Had to climb in through the hatch. Thank goodness was wearing pants. Very undignified but totally hilarious to my friends.

SharonCat you sure know how to have a good time.

Costco has a launch pad for UFOs?? anything to draw in customers. Really, Gary that's pretty cool!

So if MaryLou can drink wine and rap presents, then she could listen to wrap music when she puts on the bows.

That's what 20' of chain and a padlock are for!

we are im a warm spell currently. 10 Celsius feels warmish and the drizzle that kept going for days faded. now the meadows are soaking wet turning into slippery mud if you step on them. My last christmas shopping was minced meat for today, parsely, fresh peppermint and cheese from sheep's milk.

At the Turk Butcher, the food was staring at me. Are these eyes tasty?

Returning home from Costco, Mary Lou and Gary spotted the above.

Looks to be a jet hitting the speed of sound? I don't know, you around a military air Base? Looks like a black hawk possibly?

Elon Musk's Falcon 9 rocket ... aka SpaceX shooting one up from Vandenberg AFB in Lompoc (north of LA and south of Santa Barbara). It was a pretty amazing sight, even for jaded Angelinos. As it got closer what started out as a single bright little dot on the horizon turned into this fast moving vapor trail then a break in the trail ... and reignition and you could see the tailend of the rocket appearing as a giant light illuminating all the hot gases used for propulsion. It was quite a sight.

As this was a California rocket, it was a green rocket recycled from a previous launch.

The picture Gary posted looks like a big smiling goldfish! Dave was so very happy not to awaken at 4am. No big plans for the day. Gonna mess with pennies until further notice.
