Looks out my window for these...
And it really is true that the area code on phone numbers here is 321 LOL
Now there's a bit of trivia you didn't know before, huh? :D

I found up close its not the sight of it so much as the deep earth rumbling you feel in your feet, up your legs and finally in your chest and you suddenly feel so small. And when you look around at the crowd and see just ALL kinds of people there all craning their heads back as it rises in the sky muttering their astonishment in all different languages, and the earth suddenly seems so small. MAGNIFICENT!

You must be near my parents, then. They live in Cape Canaveral in the winter. Small world!
