Here is a video of the spy satellite launch from Vandenberg that flew

As some of you know, I live in Simi Valley, not even in San Diego County anymore. Yes, that makes me a carpetbagger. Anyway, it makes it all the more strange to be at the grocery store and be presented with San Diego Padres branded peanuts. For a minute I wasn’t sure where I was. […]
