Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

…for a very important date!
No time to say hello Good-bye!
I'm late I'm late I'm late!

Seriously, I have to get to work on catching up on an image update, and I have to be careful that any writing efforts be put into a new publisher's ring article… Any suggestions? I haven't decided yet what to write on…

Anyway, here's a nice fluff piece on tattoos (not that it says anything)…
Been seeing those more regularly.

I will briefly say that I am very sad to see that even though Bush yesterday suggested the opposite, Congress is already saying that the shuttle program will be grounded for years* while an independent investigation looks into the cause. The article also makes noises about funding** that don't neccessarily sound like good noises. I hope this isn't the end for the US space program.

Also, while I am very glad that there are dual investigations (official and independent) already going on into the cause of this accident, it does illustrate how odd it is that there still hasn't been one into 9/11…

* “You can expect the shuttle (program) will be on hold and we will be waiting for the investigation to be completed”; Remember how long the investigation took last time?
** “NASA, the administration and Congress have faced tough choices in regard to funding … There has never been enough money to do all the things we want to do in space. But that was true before this disaster and will be true after this disaster.”
