I was a college sophomore for that launch ... downstairs neighbor had a TV. I remember seeing snippets of that one.

What I will never forget is the day Challenger died. 1986 January 28. I was driving from MD to NJ and stopped at a mall. This is back when we bought TVs at the big mall-anchor department stores. The Penney's had a wall of fifty to a hundred screens. The mall was silent. Everyone was clustered in front of the TV wall watching them looping that crab claw-shaped cloud over and over in fifty different sizes. .

I was 13 and my science teacher at that time was an alternate on that flight.

I was in HS and we were watching that launch live in History class. Horrible...

I bet she was ambivalent about that! Man what a bullet dodged, but still ...

I'm actually in North Carolina chasing snow so this isn't home but there's about 10 inches down here so far.

I fueled up a rental car in Springfield MO on the way to the airport last Friday -- for $1.95/gal.


Regular unleaded is $3.50 here in WA.

it's 2.05 a gallon right now...if i go to food city on Wednesday and use up two "rewards" i can get 30 cents off of that...$1.75...
but this is a tourist area, they have to keep the gas cheap here, or the locals can't afford to get to work and the tourist can't afford to go home.

It’s been fluctuating pretty good here, but this is nice

Cheapest it's been here was 2.07 a week ago, now it's creeped back up to 2.17. I'd rather my IRA's would creep up, though
