I know this is kind of random and really has nothing to do with the posts I'm supposed to be blogging about, but I really liked this quote and I wanted to share it.
This was the first time Homer and his friends tried to build a rocket and this quote displays the end result of their so called launch:
"There was an eyewitness, a miner waiting for a ride at the gas station across the street. For the edification of the fence gossipers, he would later describe what he had seen. There was, he reported, a huge flash in the Hickam's yard and a sound like God Himself had clapped His hands. There an arc of fire lifted up and up into the darkness, turning and cartwheeling and spewing bright sparks. The way the man told it, our rocket was a beautiful and glorious sight, and I guess he was right as far as it went. The only problem was, it wasn't our rocket that streaked into that dark, cold, clear, and starry night. It was my mother's rose-garden fence"(43-44).
