...... took a great video from my front yard this afternoon of a B-24 "Liberator" performing a mock bombing run on my poor little white Audi, Blanche...... unfortunately YouTube isn't letting me upload it......... so I shall endeavor to persevere and try again tomorrow!...... at about 4,000 feet the roar of the engines was still pretty loud...... one would think that a plane that had flown so many missions over Germany bombing their factories, bridges, armories, and railways would have found a much better target of opportunity than my poor Blanche!....
..... I guess some habits just die harder than others, eh?....... and I guess that I do have the only German-made car in Eagle Glen......... and we ARE only two miles from the McMinn County Airport......
... anyhoo, I tell you, you just never know what's going to happen around here next....... it WAS a good day for flying though....... a perfect blue sky, zero clouds, and not a wind to be felt anywhere....
.... pictures and video to follow tomorrow after we return from the matinee in Cleveland..... as a fellow who was once in the intelligence business, I can hardly wait to see "The Men Who Stare At Goats".....
..... after reporting to NSA for nearly five years?..... nothing on this great, green Earth would surprise me about "The Intelligence Community"..... and that's a fact, folks......
Men Who Stare at Goats may be OK. I'd watch out for those that stare at sheep.

I too am iffy on George Clooney. He's got a smarm that just bugs me.
But, McGregor and The Dude tend to hold their own in anything they do...I'll probably end up seeing it next week....
Bullshitted by Tommy on November 7, 2009 01:01 PMAgree with you totally about "The Intelligence Community." I had dealings with them for 5 years also and nothing they do would surprise me - and that was back in the days of JFK/LBJ.

Remember years ago sittin' in a duck blind in the Obion River bottom. Another blind about four hundred yards across the slough was occupied by some acquaintances, one named Rusty by the way. It was a bright sunny day and when he stood up in the blind it was like a beacon. Every duck within ten miles could'a seen that day-glo orange head of hair.
Rule no. one: If your red headed and in a duck blind, keep your f*cking hat on.
