WHO NEEDS A SLEIGH WHEN YOU HAVE A SHUTTLE (Update: Noon, EST. Todays launch scrubbed for mechanical issues. Will try again on Friday.)

Shuttle Atlantis will launch today,
sprinkling stardust along the way.
For Santa to follow in his sleigh,
to the homes of good kitties on Christmas Day.

Godspeed, Atlantis.

  3. Ah yes... vibrations and windows rattling and booms and more! I, Zoey am very brave and enjoy it all! Whereas Maggy, who hides even with the tiniest clap of thunder, well, she is nowhere to be seen.

  14. Sadly, it is now a no-go until January. But that would certainly get Santa Claws around the world in one night, eh?
