SoCal gets a Space Shuttle, and a parade!

And they had to cut down tons of trees to get it through the streets.

Still say they should have just chopped it up and FedExed it.

And they are planting two trees for every one they cut down.

When I murder children I calm the mothers by promising to impregnate them twice.


(That is really apropos of nothing, it just popped into my head and I haven't put the filter on yet. Also, since I've had a vasectomy the jokes on them when they say "oh, well then ok.")

I'm taking the 12th off. And I'm hoping they buzz OC before landing at LAX on Thursday.

There has been talk of a fly-over of Disneyland, but so far not confirmed (that I've seen).

ETA:

 On the morning of Sept. 20, the plane will conduct low-level flyovers of NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field near San Jose, and yet-to-be-specified landmarks in San Francisco, Sacramento and perhaps other California cities before a low-level flyover of Los Angeles.

The plane is expected to land at Los Angeles International Airport at about 11 a.m. Pacific time.

Delayed a day - kinda hoping it gets delayed another day so I can see it land at LAX - Encounters would be the perfect viewing spot.

Perhaps the start of the journey - but was originally going to land at LAX on Thursday, now Friday - fingers crossed.

Space shuttle Endeavour’s arrival at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) has been rescheduled for Friday, Sept. 21, a day later than originally planned. NASA postponed the Kennedy Space Center departure of Endeavour and NASA’s Shuttle Carrier Aircraft to Wednesday, Sept. 19 because of unacceptable weather along the ferry flight route. The decision was made to ensure a safe flight for Endeavour and the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. Weather predictions are favorable Wednesday for the flight path between Kennedy and Houston.
