Imagine a threesome of earth-shattering events (ok, maybe a slight exaggeration, but rare and exciting nonetheless) all crammed into a 24-hour period! Here’s mine for today:

• 8:30am Tilt-Wall: Lifting of the first 3-story concrete panel of our future Lorenzo Walker Technical High School – followed by an additional half-dozen or so! After months of watching worker bees doing ’something’ behind the fence and with a looming August 2008 completion date, it was a relief to see the basic structure of the building actually appear. The crane was assembled over the weekend and by Monday, all 43 panels should be up – amazing!

• 9:00am Sonic boom (double pop) of the shuttle reentering the earth’s atmosphere – on schedule and another reminder of our role in the universe. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any trace of space flight, but still a neat event – even the construction workers took note and looked up to the sky!
• 10:00pm Total Lunar Eclipse Another look skyward – what an awesome sight!
