Have you ever been to an IMax theater? We went to one when we took our kids to Florida back in the 80’s. It was at Kennedy Space Center. It was awesome! It was like being in the move the theater seating would shake when it showed the rockets blasting off and made it seem like you were “right there”. The screen is really high and it’s all in 3D.
One scene showed how the astronauts escape if something happens before lift-off. It showed this large basket the astronauts get into and it goes along something like a zip line to the ground. The camera was in the basket and it just made you feel like you were in the basket riding it to the ground.
If you ever get a chance to see an IMax movie you should go. They’re awesome.

(click for bigger) Most of our 2nd day of our trip driving to Texas was cloudy and rainy. At one point we saw this really dark cloud. Well we thought it was a cloud until we got closer. It turned out to be a huge flock of birds and they were all just flying around and around in basically one spot. I’m sure glad we were in the car. I’d would have hated to have been outside underneath those birds. I don’t think that would be the best acne treatment to get (joking).
I kept watching as we drove down the road and those birds were just flying around and around. There must have been something in that area that really caught their attention. I’ve never seen so many birds at one time. It reminded me of the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock movie “The Birds“. It was eerie!
