From the National Museum of the United States Air Force. This is looking across the third hanger underneath the flag is the Apollo 15 capsule, to the left of the Flag is a Wright Model B aircraft from about 1911. To the left is a Boeing UCAV, or Unmanned Aerial Combat Vehicle from about 2000.

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin. —Matthew 6:28
[God] heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. —Psalm 147:3-4 During a small-group exercise at a seminar, we were asked to introduce ourselves without referring to our occupations. The challenge was to explain who we are instead of telling what we do. It was not easy to focus on being instead of doing.
Dr. William H. Thomas, a geriatric specialist, has pointed out that babies begin life by being. As we approach adulthood, the emphasis shifts to accomplishment. Then, as we grow older and our energy wanes, we must refocus on being. “Elderhood brings us full circle,” Thomas says, “to a life that favors being over doing. This is a gift of great value.”
But the search for being isn’t confined to the sunset years. Jesus said that the proper focus is the antidote for anxiety at any age. He told His followers to look at the birds and flowers, which are not defined by what they do, and yet God cares for them.
Oswald Chambers said: “‘Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow’ . . . they simply are! Think of the sea, the air, the sun, the stars, and the moon—all of these simply are as well, yet what a ministry and service they render.”
As Christians, our value to God comes not from what we do for Him, but in what we are to Him. Our being—more than our doing—glorifies His name.

Nah, just use it again. We never tire of it.
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin. —Matthew 6:28
Mayor, this is one of my most favourite passages from Scripture. Thank you.

Been on the road on vacation. We ended up on the beach in South Carolina. Good timing, since the storm is supposed to go up the same beach this week!
We toured the Hunley exhibit in Charleston. It's really awesome - most of the tour guides are retired Navy submariners. Highly recommended!
Flag-o-Bump!
So by fluke I'm flying first class. A young soldier is waiting to board the plane. I decide when he comes on to volunteer to swap seats with him. He sits in the row behind me. Hmmm
Ah, well, PE it's the thought that counts.
You done good.
Finally has stopped raining here. Gorgeous day, I just came into the house from my garden where I planted the flowers I bought last weekend. YAY!
Happy Trails to you CT and thanks for the Hunley report.

You might sign up for alerts from the Frontier Airlines website. We've had good luck the last couple of years getting good fares for Denver-based travel. They often have quickie Internet specials.
Welcome home to The FOXHOLE!
Sounds like you had a nice vacation. ;)
This picture really shows you how far and how fast we came in aviation. Thanks alfa6
We missed you darn it. We are only about 4 hours away from Charleston SC. It's raining quite a lot and steadily this morning from the bandds of Alberto.
Awww. Sounds like someone bumped him up ahead of time. It's the thought that counts and I'm sure he appreciated the offer.
