Space Shuttle Enterprise being transported back to Palmdale to transfer some of her parts to Challenger (OV-099).

Note: the top photo is often incorrectly dated January 31, 1977. However, she lacks the air speed indicator probe on her nose. This leads me to believe it was from her overland transport back to Palmdale.

Date: October 30, 1979

Leave it to the happily divorced couple to be the cutest people in the room.

Leave it to multiple generations of FMac fans to freak out because Stevie made a kiss face at Lindsey.

Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage Acts I, II & III (1979)

Hey Joe, who did you blow? Moe pushed the button boy and you went to the show Better suck a little harder or the shekels won't flow And I don't mean you thumb So on your knees you bum Just tell yourself it's yum And suck it 'till you're numb

Information is not knowledge Knowledge is not wisdom Wisdom is not truth Truth is not beauty Beauty is not love Love is not music Music is the best! Wisdom is the domain of the Wiz (which is extinct) Beauty is a French phonetic corruption Of a short cloth neck ornament Currently in resurgence

A bit in advance, but since I'm being spied on by the staff and other crazy abusive technicians, I had to release it a bit earlier.
