When my wife complains about all my "I love me" stuff, I reply "it's not my fault your career sucks" and then I bob and weave, bob and weave.

Obviously your U.S History class was a lot better than mine, re. Barbara Fritchie and the poem.
[Had to look it up.]
Meh, who cares? The food at her restaurant is still very good.

I passed the barbara fritchie on my way down to La Paz the last time I was in town. I was unpleasantly underwhelmed with what I remember used to be really good tex mex.
No shit! Sucks now. Know what I miss? ... The Brown Pelican, Snow White, White Star and Watson's... sigh....
Watsons. Back when it was still next to W.T's!
I didn't know the brown pelican went under.

Re-installed Flight Sim after about 2 years. Took these today and thought of BzB.
Yes I am a dork... why am I home from work you may ask? Spun the Vette' on the way in for early briefs (yes have pics too)~
Care to share the vette pics?
Seeing your photos of that beautiful F-86, reminded me that on occasion, they have had a tragic side. On 24 September 1972, a private F-86 (N275X) on the airshow circuit, was taking off from Sacramento, CA Airport, suffered engine failure just after liftoff. Having no other recourse, the pilot ejected & barely escaped. Unfortunately, the Sabrejet bellied in past the runway... slid at high speed through a perimeter fence, across a highway, through a parking lot directly into a crowded Farrells Ice Cream Parlor, where many familys/children were celebrating children's birthdays. 22 lives were lost in the parking lot & inside the building, of which half were children. It was a dreadful disaster for the 'Sacto' community, as well as a slow death knell for the previously popular 120+ store Farrells chain, of which only one last store exists today.
It was sad for the lives that were lost, fortheir families, the community, and for a thriving business chain that bore no responsibility for the carnage that occurred on their property (although their were some "after the fact" inquiries, questioning the wisdom the of locating such a mini-mall so close near the extended centerline of a major airport runway".
*Google F-86 crash Sacramento for particulars.
"Spun the Vette"? Hope no one injured, min damage... pix?

Every time I fire up x-plane to 'practice course rules' I end up trying to fly the Habu from Flomaton to the break at Mach 2.3, or do loops around the Pensacola beach bridge in a P-51. I guess there are worse things to waste my time on.
...Farrells chain, of which only one last store exists today.
They are rising from the ashes...at least here in SoCal. There are three within 45 minutes driving distance from my house. And a fourth much farther away.

I am sure that will buff right out!, that is what my friend told me after I scraped one of those concrete barriers many years ago, and no it didn't "buff right out".
