Beth and I and the Bells went to Fort Wayne today to go shopping at the Babies R Us. On the way from the store to the mall we drove past a car lot with a huge U.S. flag at half-staff. It hadn't been at half-staff when we drove past it about two hours previously so we wondered if someone had died. Or there had been a terrorist attack. Or if we were at war and something had happened. We turned on the radio to find out if there was any news, and it didn't take long to find out. They kept talking about the space shuttle being "gone" or "disappeared" or that NASA had "lost" it.
