Dear ASK,

two key points from the earlier discussion threads on this: 1) the DVDs were probably the wrong region code and thus unviewable on most equipment across the pond and 2) there is open speculation that these were re-gifted inaugural gifts and it would be really, really interesting to FOIA the Inaugural gift register. The cheap helicopters from the White House gift shop are beyond belief.

Delta II going up tonight, Shuttle on Wednesday! Launch 'em while you got 'em, boys!

Did you know Brown is blind in one eye and partially blind in the other?

That makes the DVD choice even worse...

Do you know what time the Delta II is scheduled to go?

Thanks...

Sorry for the off-topic reply, but where’s the Delta II launching from? Do you have an approximate time? If it’s around sunset from Vandenburg I can sometimes enjoy a nice light show.

Thanks in advance.

How can we FOIA the gift register? Does anyone know what was in the set he gave Brown? This is pure delicious trashtastic stuff.

“...the DVDs were probably the wrong region code and thus unviewable on most equipment across the pond...”

I just made telephone contact with my son-in-law in Italy. He is a computer expert (not to mention he graduated as an astrophysicist...Allow me some bragging time...Thank you.) He says “no way” can those DVDs be played (in reference to England). Yes, there are ways one can change whatever has to be changed so it can be watched if one gets someone who knows how to do it.

What a wonderful gift!!!!

I’m shaking my head. I just can’t believe it!!!

I admit we both had a good laugh over it.
