You must go to that Live Channel it is sooooooooooo pawsome. I remember the last time they landed in CA, the folks at BaRNI at Daphneyland heard the sonic booms. I what the hounds thought? Chaps would have been scared to death.

More loving Atlantis later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

    Rugby and Harriet would be under the bed. Jethro and Oz would sleep right through. It’s funny how very different they all are.

    A few weeks ago a shuttle returned to Florida. I was watching a PGA tournament at the time. It was either Tiger Woods or the person he was golfing with that teed off and immediately there was a sonic boom from the shuttle re-entering the atmosphere … it looked like the golf ball caused the boom though. They had a good laugh about hitting such a great shot.
