Most of my time at Goddard Space Flight Center on Friday was spent closing out as much paperwork as possible so that the project I’m supporting will be able to complete an “orderly shutdown” on Monday if Congress does not appropriate money to continue operations. Although I was retired in 2013, I was still actively participating in Engineering Seminars at Goddard, and that year’s end-of-the-fiscal-year train wreck caused one of those seminars to be cancelled. When I took note of the impending cancellation, Bill Schmalfeldt provided opportunity to publish a post titled Maybe McCain is Right.

Stacy McCain says that Bill Schmalfeldt is a “deranged cyberstalker.” I published a post at 9:33 this morning, and the Cabin Boy had this tweet up 10 minutes later.

Hmmmmm.

No, I’m still inclined to prefer Ken White’s classification of the Cabin Boy as a disturbed freak (scroll down to the conclusion).
