Ask Your Senator

Well, the plan to go to Florida for a shuttle launch is scrubbed. They left the shuttle out in the rain and it got hail damage. Silly buggers.

If you're ever going to Washington, contact your senator to hook you up. Robin e-mailed Senator Cantwell and within a couple of days received the following reply. How awesome is that?
