Timing

Sooo
Thurs afternoon meeting, most promising but no PR yet
Then run home, pick up Shirley and run to Northport for Gallery Walk (good stuff, mayby post later), cruise down east side and grab a burger at new little joint, sittin outside and spot

ISS: ground track
I was sitting looking north - spotted this bright object, and even with naked eye (well, with my glasses) saw extension out of the side ... shuttle


OK
Cool
Then last night, another round of gallery openings - again some good stuff, bit of wine and cheese with friends, then off to "Dear Camp" (our cottage)

While not really too far off the beaten path, I do feel "comfortable" taking a piss off the back porch... save the septic system

Sooo... doing so, and we have a moonless night, not a cloud in the sky and, I look up (porch is facing roughly north) ... ISS passes
