It looks like the rocket will probably not launch this evening, due to cloudcover at the Cape. Delta launch controller sounded resigned to go home without launch, his voice clearly showing his disappointment.

Could we say that he's taking a launch break?

New launch time set for 8:43.

UP27
1. (7)h2=(6)(h2-h8=g8)-(2)(g8=g5)-(3)(g5=c5-b6=b2)-(9)(b2=a2) => ab2<>7. UP 29.
Note NT 248 at a456.

2. (5)(h4=b4)-(7)(b4=b6)-(3)(b6=h6-h7)=(1)h7 => h4<>1. Note NT 368 at d123. UP81

Above applies to today's Tough puzzle

Launch was officially delayed until tomorrow.

Anybody else want to voice an opinion?

Kathy, it was a comment about the puzzle picture.

mariane, The coffee still gets brewed, but when it finishes I grab a cup to go and head out the door. We got a reprieve from the rain. I'm trying to use the dry weather to maximum advantage. I'm hauling fill material to prepare a site to put up a barn...

Gee, Jerry, you could send the rain here. We're rather dry here.

shosho, you should have asked for the last three weeks... We've been dry for 3? days now, with most of another week predicted. I know you guys are dry. My brother lives in L.A. so I kind of pay attention...

For the Republicans amongst us, you will find this interesting.

Time for bed - heading to Sydney tomorrow to party. Seeing The Whitlams at the Opera House (with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra) with 4T tomorrow night, then Fleetwood Mac with Mr P on Monday night. Will be seeing the grandies and their new house in between concerts.

CP.. Hubby and I are going to see Fleetwood Mac on Friday Eve..

mariane, Just for you. I got up early and put on a fresh pot...
