That was an observer's opinion when the piggybacked Discovery Space Shuttle flew over Merritt Island and the beach communities but not Titusville,Florida where many of the 7,000 layed off shuttle workers live. He had waited on the shore of the Indian River in Titusville hoping it would fly over the former Space Capital of the World. No such luck. We could see it in the distance taking off at the Kennedy Space Center and flying back over later. But DISCOVERY wouldn't come the extra 5 miles across the river to fly over Titusville. Maybe our one Skyscraper Foreclosed Condo complex Harbor Pointe was in the way. It is a scar,wart,pimple on Titusville's landscape looking like one of NYC's Projects for the poor. It's a failed project for the rich towering over a natural landscaped wildlife refuge and National Seashore.
The band played on as the shuttle arrived at the Smithsonian in Washington. A funeral band should play in Titusville for the unemployed workers after the shuttle was outsurced to Russia and Constellation was cancelled. We are the Miracle City. We waited on the shore hoping for some miracle that NASA would honor Titusville with a flyover but we are dead and forgotten in their eyes. Still we expected a miracle and a flyover. But the funeral band played on.
We waved at the shuttle in the distance as the sun rose over the Indian River. "NASA pissed on Titusville," said the observer disgruntled as he headed back to his car. He had stayed until the last moment hoping they'd make a flyover of the town that space built but in the end we said: "Say it ain't so." It was. Even Detroit was bailed out but not Titusville.
Every corporation benefiting from a satellite such as AT&T,Google,Facebook etc. should contribute to the resurgence of Titusville and the Kennedy Space Center. Why aren't we helped? We have no unions that the Democrats need for votes or oil that the Republicans value.

YANKEE GAME
We are off to the Yankee vs Nationals Spring Training game in Viera,FL because are friends got stuck in the fog at the airport and couldn't make it back to Florida for the game. My husband who has his bedroom decorated in Yankee memorabilia won't go to Yankee Spring Training. It's too hot,expensive and doesn't count. We've never been to the new Yankee Stadium. We live in Red Sox Nation now. It's like The Man Without A Country.

VENUS IS ENERGIZED BY RED HOT MARS
I'm to follow my instincts and be creative. I shouldn't express myself verbally. It won't work. I am very powerful and firey. I guess that's why I awoke at 6am. I didn't go to bed until midnight. I'd had 10 hours of sleep the night before.

Waning
WANING GIBBOUS IS UPON US.
Mischievious Mercury is in my 7th House Of Relationships.
I feel like I'm waning so finally I drank a few glasses of water. In these hot dry climates, coffee just doesn't do it. Daylight Savings Time has sent me into a tizzy. It was the former 6:30 when I arose to the sound of mowers and blowers. Everyone and their grandmother parked their golf carts by my back door on the sixth green. There was no peace or privacy since I arose.
I received a call from a buyer. I have a rental sign up. Maybe that upped the ante for these potential buyers. He asked questions and said he'd tell his wife and then maybe they'd look at it. So we will see. We'll tell the realtor we can't be out until next week. We were shooting for this Thursday the Ides of March but it will have to be the 22nd. We rushed because Treder has a potential renter for a furnished townhouse. It sounds like he wants to be on the river at Harbor Pointe.
