Not much to say this week, I’m going to New Orleans in two days, so my mind is kind of on that.

Ok, wait I thought of something…

The line about the runway being too short… I went to the Minter Field Air Museum in Shafter last summer.  It was something like 110 degrees outside and a B-17 was supposed to be there.  But when we got there we learned that the runway was too short for the plane to land on because of the heat.  If it landed it wouldn’t have been able to take off again.  So instead of landing the Flying Fortress did a fly by over the airfield.  It seemed like we were trapped in the heat and the smog and no one could save us, the ship they sent couldn’t even land, it could only fly past and look at our helpless faces, camera lenses, and pathetic waves.  I hope it found someplace better to land. Some place safe.
