Startled

While this is very cool, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23818541, I was totally unprepared. Aubs and I nearly jumped out of our skin. For those of you that don't know the shuttle is moving so quickly over Central Florida that we experience dual sonic booms just prior to the landing. These booms have gotten quite a range of reactions from me. The first time I heard them I thought my Father in Law had fallen upstairs. After that I was okay and they didn't bother me for quite a while. After Columbia there was silence, that is how we knew something was wrong before we turned on the news. The first landing after Columbia brought tears to my eyes. Tonight however I nearly jumped out of my skin.
