We should void bold type while some of us are sleeping.

"If you want Eddie Rickenbacker's goggles,the closest is the "Aviator" model made by Leon Jeantet (founded in 1880 and a WWI goggle manufacturer)." Eddie Rickenbaker was a World War One combat flying ace.
I'm currently working with a guy who used to work with Rickenbacker at Eastern Airlines.
He said Eddie once told them he wasn't worried about pennies in his cost-accounting to make flying profitable ... he was worried about the mills!

Rickenbacker was born Richenbacker, but changed his name during WWI to de-Germanize it.
He was America's top ace but doesn't break into the top 100 WWI aces. We got into the war late (Rickenbacker didn't get into the air in WWI until the spring of 1918).
Rickenbacker commanded the famous "Hat in the Ring' squadron (the 94th Aero).
Before the war, Rickenbacker drove race cars and was in a few Indy 500s.

” I’m currently working with a guy who used to work with Rickenbacker at Eastern Airlines.”
You must have heard some interesting stories.

My associate has been to a lot of places.
But then, he worked with airplanes. I worked with clocks.

I have the leather helmet but still need some googles. Since I don’t have a plane my headphones I use for music works just fine.
I had Midas muffler and a matching hat. I wonder if Midas still sells them.

I don’t have any problem being me. It’s more fun than you might think.

Coffee, please.
I have to drive up to Colorado in the morning, or actually I'll start driving up there in the morning and finish in the afternoon being how I'm starting from dang near Mexico - but point being I'll need some coffee for sure.
And maybe some of those little chocolate donuts.
To: Scoutmaster
One of those would be perfect for ol' Joop...
