I was watching Dr. Phil yesterday and a picture within a picture came on the screen and it was the firing of the engines of the last Atlas II Rocket. I put on my flip flops and moseyed out the front door and in about 40 seconds could see the rocket launch! It looked like a flame in the sky.

That's it for the Atlas II.
They say it is the end of an era.

Our dad designed the Minuteman Missile solid rocket engines- they were the first.
It seems like we are going now with Russian designed motors?
Our dad did get patent thru Lockheed to a Swiss company before he died so maybe it will be incorporated into the Russian design.

Thats sad, the end of an era like that. But, it still must have been awe inspiring to look up in the sky and see it like that? How cool to know that a part of your dad went up with every launch until now.

You girls must feel very proud of your dad, Kat. It seems to me he left quite a legacy! Did he live to see the fall of the Soviet Union? The thought of Russia taking over construction is mind-boggling when looking back on the cold war years. Our current relationship with Russia can be very comforting just now. Stay safe from the storm, Kat! (And everyone else on up the seaboard!)

Actually, our father had died and the fall of the Soviet Union and the tearing down of the Berlin Wall were all brought to me 9 months in advance of these momentous occasions in a dream by our dad. I say "by our dad" mainly because he was in the whole dream, showed me everything, and he brokered the deal with Russia! It was even $2 billion dollars, in real life, as in the dream.
(We promised Russia $2 billion dollars in a meeting in Canada when they divested of their captured sattelite countries and released them to become democracies or whatever they became.)

I wrote these prophesies down in a letter and mailed it to our brother stationed in Italy at the time and he swears he never got it! He said mail in Italy was pretty bad.
I coulda been in The Enquirer!

I know- I'm terrible, aren't I?
You just never know what I'll pop out with next.
I do still have my wits about me tho my tales may seem far-fetched to some.

After this experience I gave up and said OK I'm psychic.
