Yup, Huntsville. I work for Boeing, and they have several buildings and sites all around the city, but I'm currently in a building fairly close to the airport.

Cool! Looking up my address is problematic- it keeps centering directly in the New River- my apartment is just south of that.
Hmmm....we really should paint the rooftop if nosy googlers will be looking in.... Maybe a giant hand flipping the bird will work...
Y'know, I wonder when that shot was taken exactly- my car is not in my parking spot, but someone else's is!

Yeah, Google Maps is a little off... I put in my address and it points to the middle of the street.
Also, the imagery for Whitecourt is at least 4 years old. The Wal-Mart here in town is 3 years old and the Google Maps imagery only shows an empty field where it is.

Aww, our little boy's all grown up. I shall be sure to step outside and glance upwards on their wedding night as, overhead, without any fuss, the stars go out.
I though "Sabre" from that tailplane too. Did anyone figure it out yet?
It's amazing how things change. Five years ago I joked that Omega's main squeeze was actually a man (without ever intending to suggest the young lady in question was really anything but totally feminine), and got death threats as a result. . .

For which I profusely apologize. I was very much in the wrong to take that as anything but funny, and even moreso to imply that your saying that in my presence would have resulted in my harming you.
And I'm pretty sure our ceremony won't involve reciting the nine billion names of God.

Maybe you can download it and play it at high-speed when you want the guests to leave.
..or you could hire someone4 to recite them reallu slow, like Rev. Lovejoy from The Simpsons- that's clear the house too.
So- you going for a (cough "memeorable" ceremony? Something Betazoid or Klingon, maybe? Maybe ultra-liberal with simultaneous flag/bra burnings? Or you could make CNN by webcasting the ceremony- something for their goofy morning show (though Robin Meade is a hottie).
Oh! You can invite whatever major presidential candate is shilling in your town that week- bill it as a "family values" thing and tell the press that there'll be a speach on abortion and on a plan to nuke Iraq if they dont learn english as an official language...

I have precious little time left to get married, for I wish to be officiated over by Abe Vigoda.

Obviously we care more about aircraft from the Korean War than weddings and all that stuff.

So, Omega-betrothed, will there be a swingin' bachelor party, with hookers, horses-and-midnight-burial-in-the-forest-along-with-the-obligatory-pact-to-never-speak of-it-again-lest-we-all-go-to-jail-and-besides-it-was-an-accident,-right-guys!?!? Nothing puts marital bliss into perspective like the possibility of lifetime inprisonment.
...or so I've been told.

Nine billion different names of God? Maybe not, more likely just "Oh God" repeated over and over. There'll probably be lots of agreeing going on too. . . 8)
