I have just arrived back from a ride up to the area south of San Francisco
for a meeting with some friends interested in old Brit motorcycles. I
planned to stop on the way up and look for the Iridium launch from somewhere
on the Montrey Peninsula as originally scheduled on Friday. But of course,
I didn't see anytthing. I thought no more about it until on my return
trip riding down Hiway 101 I spotted the unmistakable twisted exhaust trail
of a rocket launch off to my right side. The time was a little before 2:30
pm, which would agree with the actual launch time of 2:18 pm. I have been
out of touch for the whole weekend which was a pity because if I had known
about the new launch time I could have looked over to my right and seen
something of the launch!
On another note; I will be leaving for a trip to Europe in two weeks time
and would like to Unsubscribe from this listing during that time. The
problem is that I do not have the administrative Email address. Would
somebody please oblige and send me that address by seperate Email.
Thank you.
