All that said, we must be aware that well over half(3/4? More, likely) of the drivers in the state are first generation drivers. And a pigeon could pass the official license test.

My son is on a Zoom meeting for math class. One of the other kids has a smoke alarm with a dead battery; it only took me 3 or 4 chirps to realize that it wasn't one of mine.

When I flew the dash 8 I always wanted to do that. Slip it to the numbers, mainly because it flew like one big 172. Only issue, the tail would have torqued the fuselage and I would have been the star of Why airplanes crash.

My plan was to ride the 25 mile round trip to Motul, to get nails, after the electrician left. He's gone now, but rain. Yesterday's forecast was for no rain for the coming week. Surely it will end by the first of Dec.
