what happened in your town today Was a nice day here, cool, sunny. Lawnmowers, leaf blower (no, an actual one), a few sirens, people talking, cars, motorcycles, the 'Solar Impulse' (.com) on the way here. Well, landing 70 miles away from here or so, as the glider flies. In contrast to the Space Shuttle that circles the globe a time or two on its landing approach, the Solar Impulse is doing about 31.5 knots groundspeed last time I looked. I had forgotten about it after the landing in Hawaii months ago and heard today he took off 2 days ago on leg niner of the electric powered record setting flight around the earth. From France I think. Along for the ride of course the banner for climate change, based (in my opinion) on the generosity of the sponsors necessary to make such a bold and remarkable machine and event reality. Fascinating to me but I will probably sleep through the midnight landing and wish them well |

Today is a nice day as always here in AZ. Not so hot yet. This evening we have a 5- alarm fire near where we live. Thanks God no victims. "The only way to have a friend is to be one."
