What happened? Suddenly it’s on the ground? Edit: We’ve been hoodwinked! Now they say it’s been delayed one hour due to fog. ---

Well, I saw it…sort of. I’m in Rancho Cordova, about 20 miles east of downtown Sacramento. From here, we could see a big white blob with a small white blob on top of it! It left Sacramento about 10:00, so it should be arriving in the Bay Area any minute now ---

I’m in a skyscraper in downtown San Jose, and we had a great view of it flying over (or nearly over) the Shark tank. Lovely sight. ---
