Frantic doorbell ringing and knocking on the door awoke and reminded us today is MOVE THE CARS SO WE CAN SEAL THE DRIVEWAY
day. (oops) After said cars were moved it was another Olympic record
resealing...synchronized sealing really should be
a sport... Speaking of Olympics... there are 69 days left until the summer
Olympics in London
and the torch arrived and started it's
relay through Great Britian today.
The Dragon, alas, did not start anything today including it's launch this morning. With 1/2 second (!) left before liftoff computers shut it down because of a
high pressure spike in one of the engines. Next available launch date is the 22nd. Fingers crossed and enjoy the views ~

It's Ride Your Bike To Work day today,
and the last day of Ride Your Bike to Work Week ~ so clothespin some baseball cards
on your spokes and lets get out there people! And then get to bed early tonight because tomorrow morning at 4:55 AM ~ The Dragon is Lifting Off!!!!
The SpaceX capsule is launching from Cape Canaveral and heading to the International Space Station for a test docking!! You can watch on
NASA TV, or right here from the driveway on NASA online (their coverage starts
at 3:30 AM), and on the SpaceX website (their coverage starts at 4:15 AM). More
coverage on Tuesday and Wednesday for the capture and berthing of the Dragon to the Harmony Node and then for the hatch opening. Details to come. Go Dragon Go!

It's Discovery of the World's Oldest (and our favorite) Computer Day. Also known to its friends as
Antikythera Mechanism Day ~
said mechanism being the ancient beginnings of Driveway Cam. We'd like to thank those 2nd century BC Greek geeks for starting it all and providing us with
the groundwork to bring you the views ~ In return, we'd like to provide a view they would enjoy, a live look in at the
Temple of Apollo (built just 200 years before the approximately
2300 year old computer that was found this day in 1902) ~
Wednesday, May 16th, 2012 ~
It's 2-Fer Day on the Driveway ~ Back on this day in 1866, his version of root beer was invented by Charles Elmer Hires ~ and root
beer always goes well with surfing the views. The second part of this 2-Fer day came this date in the exact same year when the nickel was first minted. It would eventually replace the half-dime
coin then in use. So gather up some of those nickels and head to the store for canned, bottled, or the ingredients to
make some, frosty frothy root beer to celebrate the 140th Anniversary of them
both ~ Enjoy!

Ack! Late start - but better late than never... so, without further ado ~ the driveway, and all it's associated views, are here for your viewing pleasure ~ Enjoy!

A sunny Monday to make up for the rainy Sunday that a lot of folks had yesterday. Getting underway today is
National Bike To Work Week! We here
at driveway cam are going to take it a step further and walk to work all week (only partially because the Stupidroo is currently doa)(and then partially because we
don't have a bike)(oh alright, there's a little bit of that riding-on-carpet-up-stairs is hard thrown in there too) but if you can, get out there and peddle your... self... to work!
And in another mode of transportation news, if you find yourself humming Those Were The Days My Friend just go with it as
it's the 39th anniversary of the day the United States launched "Skylab One," our first manned space
station. Enjoy the views from whatever viewpoint you find yourself today ~

Being a mom is a wonderful marathon of puzzles and no one runs that marathon alone ~ so a very Happy Mother's Day, and a big
thank you to everyone who has been a mom, helped out a mom, or had a mom! Have a great day, check out google, and enjoy the views ~
