A dot in the sky.


Here is a pic of an aerobaticist corkscrewing through the clear blue sky. It did lose somewhat in the photo. This was taken with the digital camera that I carry in my pocket all the time. It really is exciting to see him/her transition from a vertical loop to a barrel roll followed by a few snap rolls ending in a vertical climb to a standstill in real life. It's like the difference between watching a football game on TV and seeing it it person.
Earthquakes in Haiti and brutally cold weather in Eastern USA... and we have relatively stable underpinnings and temperatures in the 50's. The down side is that we are forecast for 1 to 5 inches of rain between today and Friday. That should wash away the mountains after having been burned to the ground last year. The upside is that we sorely need the rain. We do, after all, live in a desert.
Damn George W. Bush and what he's done to our weather. It's nice to have a few straw men around . What I can't blame on the remnants of GWB's reign I can blame of the Parkinson's and I remain golden.
Oh Karma what have you wrought?
Chaotic weather is proof that we're all on this flight together.
