We woke up this morning and a friend emailed me about the space shuttle
exploding over Texas. I thought he was joking and turned on my TV. Sadly
my
frriend was not joking. I have been watching a statewide cable news
channel
and they report that debris has been reported over east and southeast
Texas
from Tyler down through just north of Houston which covers 12 counties
in
Texas and areas of Louisiana. Unbelievably, even though the massive
warnings
about the toxicity of the debris, there have been reports of people
walking
off with "souvenirs". This is so sad and Joyce and I remember another
sad day
here in Austin in November 22, 1963.
