Update about blogCa

I-40 picked up the old Rte. 66 somewhere along the way, maybe Little Rock, maybe Oklahoma City. But it is the 100th anniversary of Rte 66 so I enjoyed thinking about my parents driving on part Of it in. St. Louis at least. Here we continued from Santa Rosita to Gallup NM, then left both highways to go north to CO.

The people in the Challenger disaster

More about the seven who trained, left their loved ones to go into space, and instead of having a great achievement, died in the Challenger accident.

 I have too many other things pulling on my time and attention to give proper credit to these 7 heroes and heroines. But I may just get some space sometime to find out more about them.

    In a strange way, it has been good to have been reminded of this event.

    I didn't know about the memorial, but it makes sense to be there.

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
