Lady take them to her breast, and shepherd them home...
Strange thing: at 9am US CST, my wife and I were in the car going to pick
up the keys to our new house, when our favorite oldies station played the
original version of "Major Tom." My wife called my attention to the song,
and, of course, the digital clock's right above the radio. We hadn't yet
heard anything about Columbia, and the air caster didn't say anything about
it, but I did feel an odd [definitely *not* nostalgic] shiver as it
played...

Alright all you tech heads, dust off your grade school
prayers
and say a few for the Shuttle astronauts. No time like the
present to show some respect.
