BOOM! BOOM!

Ye out-of-town socks may never have experienced this before, but this little corner of heaven was rocked by some twin sonic booms about 3:15 this afternoon.

It happens every time a space shuttle breaks the sound barrier to come in for a landing over at Cape Canaveral.

But, it never ceases to startle me.

IT IS LOUD! Shakes the windows. Rattles the teeth. You really have to fight the urge to hit the deck.

Well, at least I do.

Anyway, I'm glad the craft and crew are safely back at the space center.

Now, it's time to calm my jittery nerves . . .
