I thought I owed you a special Saturday post, and a return to routine won’t hurt me, either. It’s good to hear the hum of conversation around here, but I feel like you just depend on me to unlock the front door! Well, that’s ok. I don’t mind at all. The strip above first appeared way back in 1992. They’re still sitting on that same sofa.

Old Bear…your last sentence is why I don’t eat hot dogs……here’s another unappetizing name for a food that is used around here….”blood sausage”
Breakfast is on me this morning guys….green eggs and ham 🙂
Debbe, Debbe, Debbe, so many early morning posts. And yes, I’ve awoken many a morn with the fur of last nights creature in my mouth.
JJ, your Wednesday offering is spot on.
sand, is that like “some hair of the dog that bit you” as a hangover remedy?
Old Bear – with the exception of some of the newest piston aircraft engines that have electronic ignition, MOST have magnetos and continue to run just fine without the aircraft’s electrical system. In fact, many older antiques (Piper Cub, etc) don’t even have an electrical system. I lost my generator in an older Cessna 172 once, nad the battery was dead by the time I got back to the airport. Other than not having working radios or flaps, the landing was fairly uneventful.

I can’t think of a better way to start the day. Right Sand?
Here. Just lurking. Just now got to catch up on the Village news.
Jerry – I won’t ask, but I am curious.
Souse: Ate it as a kid, not sure I am brave enough now.
Airplanes: I have traveled that way, prefer not. I dislike many people crammed into small spaces. Although it is still preferable to over-crowded venues. I can accept a smaller “personal bubble” for limited lengths of time; however, sensory overload becomes overwhelming. I cannot focus, and can become extremely difficult. Awful for all parties.
My third shift called-off last night. His replacement got robbed at 4:30 this morning. My store was the second one of the morning; another location across town got hit two hours earlier. LEOs believe it was the same team, and they are also the likely suspects in the robbery the other night the next town over. All clerks okay. Off to bed.

Mindy, I’ll refer you to Sand’s comment at 8:07 this morning. I had to explain the title of one of Little Richard’s songs to my wife yesterday, but I’m guessing that you can figure this out.

This was 1954, April as it happens, first plane ride, he was pulling some Gs in that turn.
Don’t remember a big rush to deplane (quickly yes – rush no, in fact I think there was an option
to leave or not, as I remember, well it was 61 years ago ) there was no taxi ing -down – stop.
In fact my Mother did not deplane and overheard their conversation (they did not know she was there.) Short took out the batteries and generator. Just enough time to radio we were coming
back. Got met by firetrucks and rescue vehicles.
It was to FL and other than seeing a half sunk camera float purported to have been used to film
some post production shots for The Africa Queen (Wikii says not) there is not much I remember.
Sorry Jerry
