Earth-shattering Trio

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!
