Sleep deprivation for no apparent reason

So I set the alarm for 2:20 this morning so I could go outside and hopefully see the space shuttle launch. I had the digital camera set on video and everything. I mean, I was ready. But the cloud cover was so low I couldnt see anything. The pad is about 70 miles away. I looked in that general direction, and I DID see, right about eye level, the sky light up in this orange glow. But the glow lasted for about 10 seconds, and after that, nothing. Oh, and I also heard a rumbling sound, but I’m not even sure that was it. I normally wouldn’t get out of bed in the middle of the night for something like that, but I figured that was the last chance I would ever have to see such a thing, and I’m a little down about missing it. … Nomar is taking BP in the cage today. No update on him yet.
