BLITEOTW: NASA Delays Shuttle Launch
So the news agencies are claiming a hydrogen leak has delayed the launch of Endeavour this morning but apparently someone is keeping things hushed up. Eric and I biked down to the riverfront along US 1 to watch the launch and... something... was wrong. The usual crowd of tourists that mob up the eastern side of the highway, parking in the grass was just not there and normally these people start to congregate hours before the shuttle takes off.
Well, we hung around for a little while, just resting on our bikes when I noticed that what few people -were- around were just... shambling and looking lost. It finally hit me when I noticed one of them was missing an arm but wasn't bleeding. Swine flu -evolved- right here in the heart of Old People Central. Good ol' Florida. Thank god we had our bikes. We hightailed it out of there and made for our house immediately. As soon as we started making any kind of commotion we definitely attracted their notice, so be careful!
We're holed up in here for now with the blinds drawn across what I now view as far too many windows and we're trying to stay quiet. I worry most about our sliding glass doors in the back of the house, but maybe if we keep a low profile they won't come investigate.
