Boom...
Probably like everyone else right now, this post is about the space shuttle that was lost over Texas. Like those who can recall where they were when Kennedy was shot, I remember I was at a babysitters in kindergarten watching Challenger on the news. I'll be able to remember this day for the rest of my life as well. I don't know why but it's so hard to put a finger on what makes losing a shuttle so difficult. Maybe it's the awe and wonder I associate with something so complex and people who perform their jobs like clockwork.
I guess it gives pause and forces me to realize that so many people die everyday because of unsafe water, famine, car accidents, mindless conflicts, no medical care, etc. To that respect, I'm a very lucky person.
I didn't see it this time around but I can usually 'feel' when bad or major things happen. I didn't this time and possibly because I've become more numb with all the things going on around us.
I liked this blog entry.
