Freaky Friday?

At 7am, the tree killers were back. Yes, they've taken down some trees in the complex and parked the wood chipper in front of the apartment. It wasn't as obnoxious as it was yesterday because I already had the windows closed. Kitty wasn't dancing but didn't hide.

Early this afternoon, I was listening to a streaming radio show and she was sleeping in her bedroom chair. Suddenly the apartment shook and I was shocked by the sudden noise. Nerves unusually rattled, I looked outside; all was still. I went outside to look around. Nothing. I checked online and saw no significant quake activity.

Later this afternoon the local news answered my mystery. Shuttle Atlantis had landed safely at Edwards AFB in California and its approach brought it over San Diego. What I'd felt and heard was its sonic boom. Very cool. Military jets, which I'd grown up with, have nothing on *that*. Awesome, let me tell you.

The SIL had a birthday today. I never did hear anything about the surprise party Brother was going to have for her. Kitty and I sent an e-card. Mother would call and leave a message. I'm not Mother.

I sense time for sleep fast approaching.
