Tuesdays with the Duct Tape Lady

Headlines
Some tiles had to be replaced on Discovery because a window panel fell off? That’s not very reassuring. Kinda scary if you ask me. I hope they’ve got some duct tape on board. The good news is that they do go through an extensive check-off procedure—20,000 parameters--before launch. Here’s hoping everything’s really okay with the shuttle.

Lance took the lead back.

What do you think about the Karl Rove situation? I’m not sure what to think. I’m tired of drama, but then again, I realize we need to get to the bottom of this for the future safety of our operatives and to uphold accountability among our national leaders.

More from Camp
I failed to mention yet another great thing about the annual trip to camp: stopping in Opelousas for boudin. What is boudin? Glad you asked. Basically you stuff pork, sausage, dirty rice, and lots of seasoning into casing. It looks like raw sausage. To eat the boudin, you squeeze it out of the casing with your teeth, like a popsicle. It’s absolutely delicious and I look for any excuse I can to go through Opelousas or Krotz Springs to get some of Ray’s boudin. That is yet another positive thing about the camp meeting trip I remembered in my effort to think on the bright side.

Duct Tape Use #113
One day they're going to make cell phones that bounce. Until then, there is duct tape. So after weeks of monkeying around with my phone, not to mention throwing/dropping/ kicking/ dropkicking my phone, the antenna is stripped out and will no longer stay screwed in. Did I let my dilemma perplex me? No, because I have the blessed hope that comes from having been rescued oh so many times by duct tape. So thanks to the help of my trusty cousin, we successfully duct taped my cell phone antenna back in. Sure it doesn’t work as good as it used to, but the duct tape is pink, so that counts for something.
