doo·bee·do, dang first time in years I got that full page ad, what a battle I knew I could overcome;
No X [to close]
Popups blocked 2 stacks at a time, X6
Move on me will yah?!

Turned out I had to pick between a hash brown, bacon or sausage interactively dragging bacon (whilst holding for a screenshot). Asian text font turned to a $6 platter. McDeez.. if I'm that end of town for eggs n things, I gotta try that new Benny's (old Denny's)

Haha
those X's above cues me to call tonight a too tight near window's end time for a launch. ~38 minutes with no holds . Looong late wait, not that the team will get sloppy. scrubby tho' hoping not
@HiB and Ben, the 🚀 NextSpaceFlight app was the in-the-know that had the altered 'guesstimate' 8:09pm within the launch window's start of 7:05. More or less is just NasaSpaceFlight.

This evening's (August 29) Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg SFB is now scheduled for 8:08 p.m. PDT. If it launches on time, much of the southwestern U.S. and northwest Mexico may be treated to a great display.
