Have I said how cool this place is?  So much advanced research going on here – it’s been one of the issues in getting the Games working here – coordinating the Games schedules with everything else going on at this location.

I was writing a blog post today when another sonic boom occurred – there have been enough of these that they don’t make me jump anymore.  But I still go outside after I hear one and hope that I can see something cool.  Today I most definitely did.  The picture isn’t great, as the contrail was already starting to dissipate by the time I got my camera, but darned if, at the bottom of the photo, that doesn’t look a 90 degree turn in mid-air…

And not only is this place, cool, it’s hot.  Take a look at the screen shot I captured today of the Weather Channel.  Of course it is the middle of July and we are in the Mojave desert…
