I love your shoes!..heard at the 28th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs

Forget the missile launchers, satellites and conductive tape,
the tactical weapons, Delta II rockets and surveillance software,
the crowds of grey suits, grey hair, the hum of low voices,
The most enthusiasm I heard in that exhibit hall was
"I love your shoes!"


(then we got back to discussing accelerated life testing and other geeky things...but first things, first!)
