Being overprotective of a gun is being smart. Idaho has an enhanced CCW permit that 38 states recognize. Stay away from California. I think Arizona went to permit-less concealed carry a few years ago. When I lived there, they established a system for concealed-carry permits, and my late...

I've never found Wenatchee to be unfriendly. Maybe not the most welcoming, but more neutral than anything. I love flying in Alaska, though, and have known a few Alaska pilots over the years. They are the best, mostly (I do have one horror story).

Oh that's only the start. I hear homonyms and near-homonyms mixed up all the time. Drives this retired professor bat crazy, but I've learned to keep my mouth shut. With difficulty.

No.

I did not know about the forum that was terminated, but I do belong to the Flights Across the Pacific Northwest Facebook group. You don't have to pay attention to anything else on FB if you don't want to. Wherever you are, Klaus, you must be close. I'm based at WN26, which is just north of...

Been there! The museum is fascinating. This is an ongoing irritation to the French, who pushed hard for the Prime Meridian to be in Paris. For awhile, there were countries that had their own prime meridians (may still be, for all I know, but at least their scientists use this one). Made...

I'm not a parent. I was also not the worst manager, but not the best, either. I tended to be a little too hands-off, I think. Worked for some employees/grad students, not so well for others. The hands-off part is why it's probably a good thing I wasn't a parent.

I asked it to write a poem about me. This is what I got: Judy soars above the land, In her trusty Cessna's hands, Her eyes fixed on the view below, Her heart alive, her spirit aglow. She loves to fly and explore, Above the mountains and the shore, She scans the landscape, high and low, Looking...

Yes.

The pin removal was interesting. I didn't know what to expect, so my brain just filled in a guess about the pin-pulling. My guess was completely wrong, which I think meant it didn't hurt as much because by the time my brain figured out what was actually happening, it was over. Unfortunately...

Welcome to POA!

You've made your decision, but here's my story if it will help someone else. I bought an airplane, an old C182. The maintenance has not been horrible except when I had to replace the engine, but then again, I had the airplane checked very carefully before I bought it. I also set aside money...

Do keep us posted!

Ha ha!!

Exactly.

18 hours....assuming, of course, the doc isn't running late. Now I'm starting to get nervous about him pulling the pin. I have a pin running from the tip of one toe (with a fetching green ball hanging off the tip of my toe), down through all the little bones and into the long bone (metatarsal)...

I would if I could figure out how. I have a link, but when I try to post it, all it shows is the link, not the clock itself.

And indeed, polio was just observed in Burundi.

91 hours. You don't think I'm impatient or anything, do you?

We live a lot longer, too. More time for cancer to get us. I think there have been a few cases where archaeologists identified the cause of death of ancient humans as cancer, but so far as we know, it's rare (it also doesn't usually leave evidence on the skeleton, so who knows?). When the...
