• I'm on Marco Island, FL just south of Naples. The ground track plot looks over here , not FT Myers as PAO said. Local TV, for what's worth, said it will go over southern Collier Country which is my area. I'll be out on the beach looking.

• Uggg, we're missing calls due to PAOness.

  Convoy on its way to the SLF

  It looks like they are redeploying from the south end to north end via SR-3.

  This is NASA TV tradition for shuttle coverage; they've been doing this post de-orbit burn "throw" to to KSC PAO for as long as I remember.  (Just like they throw to the ascent team PAO during the hold at T-9 minutes.)
