Shuttle No-go
by furtech
We took a chance and went up to Mulholland to try and see the shuttle fly-by. I wanted to avoid the crowds and give the dogs someplace to run around, so I picked up Roz and we headed out.
...unfortunately, the routes taken by the shuttle were such that it was only visible there for about two seconds as it flew along the coast. We missed even that by minutes.
At least I wasn't disappointed: we knew we were taking a chance there. I feel bad for the people at Huntington Pier: this -was- a scheduled fly-by and they got skipped. Also, this was my other plan-- to go to the dog-beach and watch the flyby. I would have been MUCH more disappointed to drive down there, pay for parking and not see the shuttle.
The reason I wasn't as let-down as I might have been is that we did get some decent dog-frisbee time in. There's nothing like doing something with a happy dog to give you some perspective on what is important in life.
