Probably should plan to spring for pilots that can pass their airman's medical.
Hey!! Gotta brag: I wuz soloing with 8 hours flying time at Boca Raton Airplane Patch in a Cessna 152 (AKA: Spam Can).

Was gonna practice touch-and-goes. Was on the downwind leg of my first T&G, and the engine went (*KILKONK*) and I had a fine view of my non-moving propeller.

Radioed in the blind that I had an engine fail and was turning final. A Spam Can with a single passenger approximates a glider pretty well, so I had lotsa time and 1000' of air.

Brought it around, lined up on the centerline... and landed kewl as you please. Even had enuf to taxi off on the first ramp to clear the runway.

They threw a party for me, announcing I had a "Chevron". The back of my shirt went up on the wall with the date and my signature. Several of the guys told me they were jealous -- they'd been flying for thousands of hours and did not have a chevron.

So doan you worry about trubble with the plane. Just buy one and I will fly the sumbitch fer ya.

I can only find my grade school pictures that they took every year in school.
I have a picture every grade up to third grade. , two forth grade pictures 🙄 a fifth, a sixth, two sevenths and a half an eighth grade picture. 😊
Bragging or building courage to reveal one?
I didnt listen to my Mother either and never stopped
It was a vicious rumor anyway. Look how we turned out.............................
Yes, it's like they're too paranoid to look a person in the peepers
A big change here. Where we would make eye contact and at least smile, if not share a salutation, now we pass with diverted eyes. We live near a high school and virtually none of the kids will meet my eyes, so a whole new generation growing up that way.

I just found this in my jumble pile that is my 'puter. It is the skeleton of a story I was going to write for a magazine. I did not write it because the first part was too damned accurately prophetic and it disturbed me.
AI Critical Limit
c
Walt C. Snedeker
Cascading craziness, culminating in planned herd reduction. The world population is totally controlled with bio-chips. Impossible to be without observation by towers -- and continual location sensors for the chips keep continual awareness of the AI of everyone not in the Cabal. And the Cabal itself is a rigid hierarchy. This makes continued silent warfare a given among the elite.

This Cabal internecine warfare has resulted in many genetic-specific targeting research groups working against each other. They are successful.

Visitors from Galactic Center systematically checking all human-possible planets arrive 50 years from today.

“We were too late on this one. What a shame. They reached the AI critical limit and killed each other off. Just like so many others. Well, now we all have a brand new vacation world.”

Rain and then a cloudy day here, starting at 43F and predicted to reach 51F.

I made another appointment with the pain clinic to look at alternative solutions to RFA on my back but wasn't able to get in again until almost the end of March. Must be a lot of folks in pain.....................

Breakfast out with Grayfox and an old friend, followed by continuing to read, The Wager, about live aboard ship and shipwrecking a man of war in the mid 1700's.
