Natsukashii! There's no sound like it. I had lost track of Discovery while out of town, but the familiar twin sonic booms as I was fixing lunch alerted me in time to turn on the television and watch the landing.
It had actually been quite a while since I'd heard that sound—even if the shuttle doesn't have to land in California, it sometimes takes a path other than one that goes over our part of the state. This time it was quite subdued, though still obvious; at others it has been known to wake us from a deep sleep.
