I just read hoffarth.wbst@PARC-MAXC's message.  I drove 6 hours from the SF bay 
area and I couldn't afford to stay the extra 8 hours so we had to drive back.  I
did make it to my TV here in Palo Alto with 5 minutes to spare, to see the 
landing.  I heard the sonic boom here in Palo Alto.  It was very noticable.

p.s.  I was at the night landing.  Did anyone else remember hearing the shuttle 
cutting thru the air just before it landed?
