Working on Kennedy Space Center!
The every day sights when living in a science fiction story
Well, I kid you not, some people do not appreciate that they are living in a science fiction story and they are the cast!
Forgive me, if I am awed every day.
I am awed at the science and at the jaw dropping experience to talk with some of most brilliant minds on the planet. (They might point out, that I spelled brilliant incorrectly, but at least most of the brilliant folks are very tolerant of the low IQ folks like myself.)
They nod sagely at my immature questions and enthusiasm for working at the worlds busiest space port, with a space force right across the Banana River. (Rico's Roughnecks" training for an attack on Klendathu?) --And they may not every talk to me again for mentioning Rico. ------Just a guess.
Science fiction story with problems?
I realized my truck clock was wrong when the Atlas lifted off before I could get to the river. Launch on time, I was late.

Desperate times call for bold action.
In a desperate move to retain Florida and protect the treasure-laden galleons on their dangerous return journey to Europe, the King of Spain issues a royal decree offering refuge to all English slaves who escape Florida and pick up a musket to defend the coquina walls of Saint Augustine.
In another bold gamble, the King offers refuge to the dissatisfied Indian nations of the southeast who will take up arms against the English.
Clans, traumatized by war and disease, cross the Spanish Frontier to settle the cattle-rich land and burned missions of Florida.
Follow the descendants of the conquistador Louis Castillo in remote Spanish Florida, a wild and swept by diseases, hurricanes, and northern invasions.
