i was up at 4am this morning so i could leave the house at 430am so francus could drive evilbetty and me to cape canaveral so we could all watch the orion launch at 7:05am. there were tons and tons of people out pulled over by the side of the road, armed with their big fancy cameras and ready for a big rumbling space show. we stood deep in wild grasses by the shore and were surrounded by spiders and the droppings of an animal unknown and we waited and waited but the launch was delayed for wind issues and then delayed for mechanical issues and delayed for almost three hours until the flight window officially closed and everyone felt dejected and got back into their cars. while we were stuck in heavy traffic heading back inland i noticed a number of ospreys in the air and remembered the animal report i did on them in elementary school. they're going to try to launch again tomorrow morning but i don't think i can get up that early again because all day my eyes and head have felt swollen from lack of rest.
