Perspective

Reading over my last few posts make me laugh. Yeah, it was a rough week filled with some bad news (more than what I posted) but it's not as bad as I made it sound. Yeah, I'm out a lot of money, but the worst that will do is delay my next toy purchase. It's not like I'm building up credit card debt, or struggling to pay rent. This is a benefit of the blog, I'm able to look back and see what I was thinking, and put it all in perspective.

Anyway, I was down in Orlando, FL for all of last week for work. I had one day free and went to the Kennedy Space Center. Dorky, I know, but it was really cool. I walked around there, took a bus tour, watched a 3d IMAX movie (Hubble 3d), and took a ton of pictures. I got to see the space shuttle Discovery on the launch pad, and luckily I had my 70-300 lens with me, so I got the best picture possible. Here's the shot from about a mile away (the closest I was able to get). Unfortunately, they keep a 'cover' on it until 24 hrs until it launches, so you can't see too much.

Notice the cars under the launch pad; that shuttle is absolutely massive!!

P.S. I'm not going to stick to schedules with this blog. I've said many times in the past that I'd post 3 times a week, but I don't want to set myself on a schedule. I may post 5 times one week, then not again until 2 weeks later. I don't see any reason to force myself to a schedule; if I want to post, I'll post, if I don't, I won't....simple.
