Crisp, clear skies; unobstructed horizons; and temperatures just on
the cool side of mild all added up to perfect viewing conditions
earlier this morning for the reentry.  Columbia appeared low in my
west at 09:14:19 UTC.  I could last detect motion of Columbia low
in my east at 09:17:32 UTC.  The plasma trail stretched from horizon
to horizon, but it dissipated rapidly (within three minutes).

Industrial and highway noise being carried on the wind prevented me
from hearing a sonic boom.

Observing from Austin, Texas -- 30.36 deg North by 97.73 deg West
