“So, how many monks does it take to touch the face of God?”

“Three.  Two to hold the prayer flags, and one to up throttle the space shuttle.”

Ha … that makes absolutely no sense … I know.  But somehow, I was trying to tie in the space shuttle’s piggy back take off in Fort Worth, with the “men of the cloth” I saw witnessing the event.

So … some men/women climb mountains … and many of them go to the Himalayas to do so.  And sometimes the Himalayans marvel at man-made objects.  I like it when old world and new world — spiritual and science — get all mixed up and diverse like that.

Other than that, I don’t know what to say about seeing the shuttle.  Awesome … this little NASA tease so makes me want to witness a real liftoff.  It could happen.

Hmmm … do the space stations have Wi-Fi?  Bluetooth?  All I know is that the shuttle that landed in Fort Worth was given credit for delivering a new bathroom to the  international space station.  That my friends, can be even more important than wireless …

I think it begs the question, “What did they do with the old port-a-potty?”  Is it still up there?  Will it come crashing to earth in a fiery ball of whateva? Will it be spotted in the skies over Rest Area 51?

Know what I sayin?
