I knew it all along.



So I had a gut feel for entropy all along. The photo on the left is of ''The Sound of Freedom as built, an example of low entropy or a high degree of order. On the right is a photo of the same conveyance after rendezvousing with the ground subsequent to running out of power at 3500 feet. Even the slowest amongst us would agree that there was a serious loss of order or a gain in entropy. The gain in entropy through this event supersedes some events and is overshadowed by some. The landing of the passenger jet on the Hudson River by Captain Sullenberger in an example of one that overshadowed mine. Accidents that result in the loss of life are examples of those which are superseded by mine. So I knew it all along.
Or not.
I'm off to Historic Flabob Airport to celebrate Veterans Day.
Veterans Day is proof that we're all on this flight together.
