SGA Saturday

Title: Just a Thought
Author: lilyfarfalla
Rating: G
Words: 200 (double drabble!)
Warnings: None
Summary: Woolsey ponders next steps.
A/N: Not what I'd planned to write after the inspiration from last Sunday, but the challenge of a drabble in 30 minutes was fun!

(  There’s a moment, not long after Atlantis makes its improbable splash landing, when Woolsey thinks that the city could remain on Earth. )

This week's prompt was inspired by both esteefee and her joy of bicycling and the motorcyclists who like to drive up and down my slightly hilly street, revving their engines.  Thanks guys, it's awesome!  But as much as I hope someone writes a story about Ronon riding a motorcycle across the country, this one can go about a million places.  Surely someone else will do something related to Wagner's Ring Cycle?  Yes yes yes? Check out the many definitions for more:
