...the mission to the ISS will be to deliver 1,000 pounds of non-essential cargo...

If successful in its first-of-a kind mission, the company behind the venture SpaceX would collect the remaining payments on the $396 million contract it has with NASA and then enter into a $1.6 billion agreement for 11 more flights to the ISS.

Scene at NASA, two years earlier:

- Ok, now we have the essential cargo covered. How do we get the non-essential cargo up there?

- Um...why would we want to fly non-essential cargo up there?

- Shut up.

[Phone rings]

- Oh, hey, good thing you called. Listen, we've got a bit of a problem here. We are all set with the important stuff, but some guys were toying with the idea of flying some more stuff up there. Just for fun, could you guys deliver 1000 pounds of non-essential cargo to the ISS?

- Sure, we'll do it for $396 million.

- Deal!


So I guess the greeks are infiltrating NASA.

A friend that will remain nameless, sent me a note that kinda pooched my recollection of Florida, back in the old days. Back when Lutz was a 5 house, 1 gas station town on US 41. Back when Temple Terrace was a retirement community for the Mafia. Back when you had to drive a long distance to get to Louis Pappas in Tarpon Springs. Back when the Orthodox Bishop blessed the sponge fleet (and it really meant something). Back when Manny Garcia was Mayor of Tampa. Back when we all went to dinner at Las Novedades or Spanish Park in Ybor City without a thought. Back when the love of my life was my high school darling; Nancy Delapena. Back when we were righteous.

Now, those suberbs are downtown. Tarpon Springs is an industrial tourist trap. Mayor of Tampa is a pathetic pandering puissant politician. Nobody goes to Ybor City except tourists with armed guards. 40 years ago, we had it good. Anybody who lived in Florida, back then, knows.

It’s just like lightbulbs.

Remember how ya'll old time Flodirians could go diving in Crystal Springs without a PADI card? And remember how your parents would anchor in Crystal River or Withlacoochee Bay (mostly at Anddes, just past Little Mouth Pass). And when you got back they were bubbling up a blue crab enchilada? Life was good back then. Life was really good. It's close to that in Mobile Bay. The very last slice of honest to gosh Gulf living you will ever see. Hope to heck it stays this way long enough for Mom. Only a few more years, according to the doctors. After that, I'm off to the Marquesas. Can speak french, got a French passport, have my assets in Barclays International Premier. Hoots gazoots. (And if you want to go similar, pm me, because I am a registered Federal attorney, and I know way more about this stuff than the idiots you see on TV. I won't even charge you, if you are righteous.) I'll even be nice to Chicken Boy.
