Hi Trevor,
No good about hospital.
Back in the 80's a fellow engineer and work colleague had to go on a business
trip to Cocoa Beach, Florida.
He was sitting in a diner in Cocoa Beach having lunch and the waitress came over
and re-filled his coffee.
"Y'all here for the Shuttle launch?", she asked.
"What Shuttle launch?. When?", asked my friend excitedly.
"Oh, about fifteen minutes ago", the waitress replied.
If he had only walked out the front door of the diner he would apparently have seen it
lift off. He was pretty miffed to say the least. So near and yet so far.
