The German airship/dirigible/blimp/zeppelin Hindenburg caught fire, crashed and burned while attempting to land at Lakehurst, New Jersey. 36 died in the accident.
Perhaps this is why, subconsciously, I cannot fly Lufthansa.
where are you going and why?
54 and cloudy, and I'm determined to take off early this afternoon-I've got to get going soon, if I'm going to be able to do that. Kitty boy and Husky girl provided me with a Kodak moment awhile ago, and the nearest camera was, unfortunately downstairs in the kitchen. There were two vultures sitting on the railing of the balcony, watching for lizards and small snakes to come out on the rocks at the edge of the cliff so they could swoop down and have them for breakfast. Kitty boy and Husky girl were sitting on the rug in front of the balcony door watching them when Kitty boy got curious enough to walk up to the door and pat at the glass. One of the vultures saw him, ran to the door and spread his wings, which scared Kitty boy so that he ran behind the woodstove to hide, while Husky girl ran at the door barking, which made both vultures fly away. I wish I could have gotten a picture of the dog running at the door while the cat peeked from behind the stove-it was too funny.
