My comments going away have motivated me to move to Word Press. I haven't settled on a blog design, but update your bookmarks, from now on, I will be posting to my blog here:
Byron loves to go to the grocery store. I mean, honest to goodness, loves it. It appeals to the consumer in him, I guess.
So last time he went, he bought 5 cans of Rotel. He did this because they were on sale for like 50 cents each and he couldn't stand to not buy them. What the heck are we supposed to do with 5 cans of Rotel? I am not sure, because we rarely buy one can if ever.
For those of you not in the "know", in Texas, Rotel is a big deal. Its a canned thing of stewed tomatoes and chili peppers. Typically one mixes it with melted Velveeta cheese to make queso dip. Yes, its that terrible for you. I am not really sure if Rotel has any other uses. As you can see, this is why I was appalled by the purchase of 5 cans of it.
So, anyway, he goes to the grocery store last night. I add Velveeta and nacho chips to his grocery list, thinking that we could at least use some of the Rotel by making some queso to snack on.
Home comes another giant can of Rotel. Seriously?
As it turns out, they were giving the cans away free with the purchase of Velveeta.
Irony anyone?
There's a mission going on that I am not working. Well, that's not entirely true. I am working the Entry. But that is another week and a half away. Until then, well, the office is a ghost town. Its creepy.
Its doubly creepy because morale is so low about the future of the manned space program. Really low. I am not sure if its a failure of vision or a failure of management. Its not normal for a budget with this drastic a shift to be rolled out without a real plan in place. And yet a week later, all we hear are platitudes about "bold" and "game changing". Seriously? We're engineers. That doesn't inspire us.
Ok, there's my downward roller coaster space program thought for today.
And now on the upswing, I got a fortune cookie, that if it comes true, will definitely be game changing for the space program:
