Woke up irrationally angry at Wally Schirra and nostalgic about the, 'life' of this raggy little blue towel we have.
Alrighty.

Feb. 20th, 2016 07:47 amFrom the WTF Files:
This morning, not one, but TWO ppl talking Merc/Gemini/Apollo with me. You never know.
a) Andy at work, whom I've always liked. Taurus on the edge of Gemini. He was helping me lug this gigantic laundry bag, and the conversation just..what..from his enormous collection of model trains, from all eras and memorabilia - the pictures! - and his experience actually driving them and being impressed (?) that I knew about Ravenglass, UK, lol - to his Civil War reenactment experience and battlefield ghosts of Gettysburg. We talked for half an hour, LOL - and then I said, "Well, MY area of expertise is early manned space - Mercury/Gemini/Apollo.." And he TRIED to 'quiz' me..asking about Wernher Von Braun and Project Paperclip and DERP, WHAT WAS THE TYPE OF ROCKET THE MERCURY PROGRAM USED, AND WHAT WAS ITS ORIGINAL PURPOSE (Atlas, and originally a missile, blah blah), Come now, Andy - ask me something HARD...LOL. So, then it went on to, 'Kids today know nothing of these guys, and all they did, and there's only one Mercury boy left, and and and..' Dang. You never know.
b) Random guy at the convenience store, re: my patches on my bag. O M G. Another half hour, ranging from the manned space program to Bob Lazar/Area 51 to stealth tech to Project Indoctrination. What.
Both said, "We should hang out." L O L
I'm such a guy. I love surprises like this. This shit NEVER happens to me.

Jun. 2nd, 2014 02:23 amWow. Tonight's, Cosmos - I'm still, just - WTF - Way to piss on the hundreds of thousands of men and women who worked on/flew/DIED FOR the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo programs, there, Neil. After clobbering us with Carl, yet..who worked on said programs, even briefing my boys, pre-flight..
This was on my Tumblr, with the caption: "How dare you.", so it's not just me.
Now, I'm not arguing that any of what he said was wrong - I couldn't, of course, it's fact - but THE WAY he said it..His voice dripped with disgust, dismissing the missions as a mere 'extension'..The smart-assed, condescending way he said, "No.." - IDK, it sure FELT like a slap in the face..He even used (bits of) Carl's, 'The Gift of Apollo', but somehow, still smarting, it almost made me vomit -
Anyway, Carl said it all infinitely better; nicer, somehow, with a bruised naivete', a disappointment (kind of how I feel about it), not with disgust and derision -
I should probably watch it again, no?
ETA: I did, and it wasn't all that.. :)
*~*~*
Meanwhile, I *finally* got my ten-year pin at work, and continue to kick ass. I got up eleven extra people for day-shift, Sunday morning by myself - NEW PERSONAL BEST - and STILL managed to come straight home and mow the muthafuckin' lawn.
Huzzah.

This. Still.
