While we were living and working at an RV park in Kanab, Utah, they were holding some local elections. I was amused to see campaign signs outside of the local cemetery. I guess Kanab may be a highly liberal town, although I didn't seem to encounter many when we were there for that 9 months.

We were in Sulphur, OK one day and stumbled across a bunch of old Fords at a restaurant. Apparently some "club" or just a scattering of old Ford owners chose to eat there that day. This picture only shows three of the old cars, but I took pictures of all that I could see.

Good morning all.
Prayers to all the families that were affected by the horrific crash over the Potomac River last night.
How the hell did this happen?
Pretty crazy affair for sure. I was reading an angle from someone who worked with Army aviation, and he said it was hard to see other Blackhawks while flying in formation, even when the crew chief KNEW they were there, while wearing NV. As he put it, they were designed to be hard to see in the dark. Couple that with lots of folks saying how cluttered/crazy that airport gets, and it ended with very bad results.

There is also talk that the FAA air traffic controllers were at "lower staffing numbers" because it was thought that nighttime operations into Reagan International had fewer numbers of fights arriving and departing. They could very well be part of the blame once NTSB gets their investigation done.

It was also mentioned that because of the night vision goggles, aircraft lights couldn't have been distinguished from all the other city lights around D.C.

A while back I was cruising around Draper Lake. I got caught in the middle of a biker meet. However, they were all on Cushmans!! I'd never seen that many together at one time..........
