"I sat outside on my porch this morning Waiting for the sonic boom to arrive"
You know this actually came from Gunther's mother. She lives in Celebration Florida and can see the shuttle launches and landings from her porch. That morning, she was sitting out on the porch waiting to hear the sonic booms* of the shuttle coming in and after a bit realized it was past when they should have happened. She went inside and turned on the television to find out what had happened.
*The sonic boom of the shuttle landing is actually three booms, the nose cone and each of the wings breaking the sound barrier, but because they come so quickly in succession, it sounds like only one.
