Welcome to Heaven, Dr. Jane Goodall. You made the world a better place.

Looks like MDW. I’ve landed there quite a few times.

Censorship, whether by the left or the right, is always about power, not protection.

12°C in the house this morning. Probably could’ve closed the windows last night.

I think there is a direct relationship between punishing people for mourning George Floyd and punishing people for not mourning Charlie Kirk.

The Pilot’s Lounge #154 There is a Silver Bullet for Crash Survival - AvBrief.com You do it automatically in the car so wear your shoulder harness in the plane, too.

Sage advice for the safety-oriented (or survival-oriented) pilot.

Why the MAGA Fight Over H-1B Visas Is Crossing Party Lines Critics from the left and the right say Big Tech companies are exploiting the visa system for high-skilled workers to reduce labor costs and boost profits.

I'm not a Trump supporter in any way. The H1-B program has largely been used as a mechanism for offshore companies to get indentured servants who undercut American workers and send the profits back home. I don't mind this particular adjustment very much.

Any question you're not sure about, note the number, skip it, and move on. When you're through them all circle back and you'll know how much time you can dedicate to each.

Same.

Congratulations to Paige Bueckers on being named WNBA Rookie of the Year. You continue to make Minnesota proud!

Our house came with LeafGuard gutters. In 20+ years I’ve never had to clean them once, despite a thick oak canopy.

It’s interesting that when I mute a #tag in #bluesky, all posts with that tag disappear immediately. But when I mute an account, all posts from that account remain until I refresh the feed. 🤔

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

Weather alert: "Extremely High Temperature begins at 4:00am tomorrow"

Tomorrow's weather: Low of 67°F, High of 82°F.

Go home, Carrot Weather. You're drunk.

Let's say it again:

1) Harvard said "No," and Trump has backed off.

2) Chicago (and Illinois) said "No," and Trump has backed off.

It's day by day. But those who said "OK, sure," have gained nothing at all. Except shame.

This post that a friend of my partner's shared on FB potentially explains the Kristin Chenoweth thing, and is frightening.

Wow. Looks like the pilot ran a tank empty and then lost control of the plane and died. What a tragedy.

The Lynx already have locked up the number one seed; of course they benched the A-team. Why wouldn’t they?

I remember when it was AppleLink before it became America Online.

Myself on the right in a black hat, tan shirt, black shorts, and white socks and shoes hunched over in front of a plane while my CFI, white shirt, khaki shorts, black socks, and white shoes cuts the world’s largest hole into my shirt

Myself holding up my now mangled shirt slice in the air with a smile. Still in front of the plane

My CFI and I posing in front of our plane

Myself alone in the cockpit of a small plane smiling into the camera. My CFI has abandoned me, but for good reason

First solo in the books! What an exhilarating experience. I am genuinely so proud! #studentpilot

Most large city airports have one FBO, and its Signature. That’s not a conspiracy, it’s a monopoly.

I’ve heard bad Star Spangled Banner’s before, but that was the worst. #mnf

When we landed it was nice and clear. Best weather we’ve had so far, although the frost on Friday night made for chilly sleeping!

Two fatal #aviation crashes around the Twin Cities in less than a week. A K35 Bonanza near Cambridge and a Helicopter near Lakeville.

Stay safe up there, aviators.

A few photos from a recent stop at North Fox Island (6Y3). We’ll be back for a longer visit.

A ForeFlight pilot logbook entry showing 3 holds and six instrument approaches to various northern Michigan airports.

Logbook full.

Foul weather for tomorrow’s flight home means I’m flying six approaches and a hold today. KACB, KBFA, N98, and KCVX (full stop, lunch) then back to KTVC. #aviation #flyga #flyifr

Mondays. (Near Traverse City, Michigan).

An easy landing at Sidnaw, Michigan (6Y9).
