For some reason, that Space Shuttle fan has snagged my attention.

He seems to be arguing that if it were not for the Shuttle, we would be

beavers and turnips.

I find I am asking myself: Which would I prefer to be — beaver or turnip?

I think beaver — I mean, building those dams looks like a lot of fun,

doesn’t it? Turnips just sit there in dirt waiting to be boiled and eaten.

Yes, definitely, beaver.

Time to get out of the house, I think…..
