#Politics Sunday's #Doonesbury had a distinct #Florida #DeSantis flavor. Use the link to view at a larger size.
April 15, 2010 ... Elon Musk gave President #Obama a tour of #SpaceX Launch Complex 40. Obama committed #NASA and the White House to support the NewSpace era of commercial space flight.
One of our old #KSCVC buses is in the background ... I always thought of those as my mobile classroom. I didn't drive; the bus had a jump seat facing the audience, from which I lectured.
Anyway, visual evidence that Elon wasn't always a douchebag.

#Florida Oh say, can you see ... A southern bald eagle atop a light pole during Friday's college baseball game in Winter Haven.
Tomorrow's apocalyptic weather forecast for SoCal reminds me of "the Big One" on March 1, 1983. I was a police dispatcher in Irvine, in Orange County. Flooding and road closures everywhere. My apartment complex flooded, but I was at work and my unit was on an upper floor.
Hopefully the next few days fare better.

I used to do tours in the #KSC Launch Control Center. The lobby has plaques for every #NASA mission launched from there. Each plaque has the launch and landing date.
Only two Shuttle plaques are missing the landing date -- STS-51L Challenger and STS-107 Columbia.
This is the Columbia plaque, missing its landing tag.
#Economy Consumer Confidence Index reaches two-year high. "The reading was the highest since December 2021, and marked the third straight monthly increase."
Look at the chart to see where it was when #Trump left office in January 2021 versus now.
Cue the mainstream media ... "Why this is bad news for #Biden ..."

#Politics From #CNN: #Illinois election board concludes it doesn't have jurisdiction to decide #Trump ballot eligibility under the 14th Amendment, punts the question to state courts.
Note ... The bipartisan ruling was 8-0. Several Republicans said they thought Trump committed insurrection but didn't have jurisdiction.
