Just had some good news - my younger boy Nick (who works at NASA at Cape Canaveral) is safe. He and his wife and my granddaughter did the smart thing and evacuated. Currently in LA. I have been so worried. But all are safe and well.
That must be a huge relief.
Sidenote: how awesome to be working at NASA.
I am insanely proud of him. Given that he started as an apprentice cos school and him could not agree. And proud of his brother too for different reasons. Give me a few drinks and I'll take all the credit for their success.
I've heard it's out of this world.
sorry you have a son who works for NASA?! How has that NOT come up before?!?!?!
Talk about burying the lede here! :D
Did back on reddit once.
Am glad to hear they've gotten out - I've been watching live updates out of total fascination.
Very good to hear :)

Thatβs a relief
