  1. Here in central Florida the temperatures are quite a bit above average. And climbing. For many, this kind of heat could be/is deadly. Sadly, the forecast for the coming years indicate that the temperature rise will become even worse. I just celebrated the forty-first anniversary of my 39th birthday. And I'm glad I don't have long left. Remember, though, there is no such thing as climate change.

    I would be interested on which facts this statement is based.

    Just my humble opinion. As I said there is no "Good" or "Bad" here. Maybe if you try a few of the more difficult RNAV approaches you'll see what I mean.

  3. It seems to me that the decision to "fly" either MSFS or P3D depends on whether one wants to "fly" based on RL aircraft, practices, and procedures or "fly" primarily for the eye-candy. To me it seems that it's P3D for the former and MSFS for the latter. Or, better yet, just use both. There's no "good' or "bad" in this decision but, rather, it's just a matter of personal choice.

  4. Here I sit. An old man thinking about the days gone by. And one of those thoughts is about a guy named Ira Hayes. For those who may not know who he was, he was one of the Marines in the iconic WWII photo of the flag rasing on Iwo Jima. I worked with his nephew for many years and learned so much about his life and death. R.I.P. Ira. You will never be forgotten. At least by me.........

  5. As I sit here, I remember so many things about my days spent in San Francisco. Does anyone else remember......

    Lunch at The Iron Horse on Maiden Lane. Green beer at Lefty O'Doul's on St. Patricks Day. Dinner on the terrance of the Alta Mira Hotel in Sausalito watching the lights come on in The City. Carol Doda at the Condor Club. Finocchio's. Kerry's Lounge And Restaurant. Those were the days. And I was there. And I remember the all.

  6. Yesterday I was at the grocery store buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Necco, the Wonder Dog, which weighs 191 lbs. I was in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had, an elephant? So because I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog. I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't start again because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your jacket pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care, because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I was  there because I stopped to pee on a fire hydrant and a car hit me.
