Neighbor has a tri pacer he flies ALL the time.
Serious simple fun plane.
In Florida I fly when I know things are going to be reasonable.
I have three G.P.S.’s in her and one that gets real time weather. I can fly along the edge of a front knowing where and when it is going.
Auto pilot the weather can’t stay cold forever.

Well, they blame the schools, of course. Check out the student comments at this "local school directory" ( stimulus money ??) for Vallejo High School. These are pre "incident" but the blame game is already well in place. One self-identified sophomore complains that the school is underfunded and "Most of the teachers dont even teach what they are suppose to they talk about anything an give you what ever grade they what to." So you can see how this is bound to lead to a little desultory mob mayhem.

Taken together, these comments give a strange looming impression, knowing what we do now.

Sounds like flying is a passion with you, and that’s pretty cool. Be careful up there.

Wow. That is a fine looking firearm. What is it? Must be a .22 cal for a small kid to shoot off the bench with no (visible) shoulder pad.
I would also suggest some mixed-martial-arts training geared toward defense. Sad to say, but kids need the confidence that comes from knowing they at least have a chance in a fight, particularly the girls (of which I have 3). Fortunately my oldest boy is a bruiser who can be protective of his younger sibs as needed. I’ve told him for years that being suspended for fighting to protect himself or his siblings is a lot better then watching one of them get beat up and having to deal with me.

It's a DPMS Panther M4 5.56 with an AR-15 .22LR conversion kit.
Judo is the best art for children because it allows them to beat someone up
without throwing a punch. I know, I was a navy brat and went to
more schools then grades.

It is a felony to throw rocks at a moving vehicle.
