Finally, somebody gets it! An article in today's New York Times about those of us who drive into Manhattan, in spite of available public transport. We drive because IT'S QUIET!!! and peaceful. and dry. and warm. Phooey on the subway; it's about a mile from my house -- not a bad walk in nice weather but forget it in the winter or the rain -- then a 45-minute-long commute from there. Phooey on the bus -- it stops up the street but takes two hours each way. Two hours! Just phooey.
Vocation
A bit of wisdom
A little education
My very favorite plane
- This is the Lockheed Constellation, the most glorious airplane ever to grace the skies. You may be lucky enough to have flown one of these commercially; certainly if your grandmother flew commercially, she flew on a Connie. There are not many left today that are still whole; there are fewer still that are flying. If you've a mind to go to the EAA Airshow in Oshkosh, WI this summer, you can see a Connie for yourself.
