Learning the Three “R’s” Space Shuttle Style: Rollout, Rollback, Rollover (Part 3)

 
Where is Waldo?
I rarely have my photo taken when I am taking photos. But with cameras all around me documenting everything, I was bound to end up in an official NASA photograph. In fact, I got into five photos and one video!

I am near the right, on the crowd line, kneeling, wearing a dark shirt and tan pants.

I am in the back row, second from the left, wearing a blue hat and a geeky STS-134 t-shirt. Note in the last shot (L plus 31 seconds), I had my arms and hands down, no longer shooting.

Lovebugs
I had never heard of lovebugs until this trip. If you take a close look at them, you will know why they are called lovebugs. On my second trip to Florida, I happened upon lovebug season. They were everywhere. I drove through swarms of them. They got through the air conditioner vents in my hotel room. They made swimming pools and outside restaurant seating unusable. A line of dead lovebugs could be found on the waterline at the beach. I hate lovebugs!
