Today the air races in Reno, NV saw a terrible tragedy. Jimmy Leeward lost control of the P-51 known as “Galloping Ghost” while competing in a qualifying race. The plane crashed into the front row of box seats and many spectators were injured and killed along with Mr. Leeward. Videos of the crash and the [...]  Starting off a post is usually the toughest part. I have to get my mind going and start some creative energies stirring. Today isn’t one of those days. September 11, 2001 was a horrible day that I’ll never forget. I’ve written about it a few times (use the search function on the upper right to [...] The image above isn’t mine, but it’s the best one I’ve seen yet in its simplicity and message. I would give credit to its creator, but I found it in too many places on the web to know who that is. Thank you, sir or ma’am for your efforts. I will remember. There are many [...] Part of me still can’t believe it’s been 10 years. I got to thinking about it this morning and it hit me all over again. I can’t spend too much time on it or it just rips me apart inside. But I’ll still remember because I feel I owe at least that much to those [...] You may not be familiar with Coal the Cat, but I’m going to miss him. If you want to read the previous posts up to this point, they’re here, here, and here. Coal showed up at our front door around midnight on 10 December 2008. I heard meowing when I went to get a drink [...] Poway High is my alma mater. I graduated in 1995. This hit me hard. From CNN.com: On Wednesday, John Albert Gardner III, 30, a registered sex offender, was charged in the rape and murder of Chelsea, who lived in the San Diego area. Gardner, who is being represented by a public defender, was also charged [...] Although it was not unexpected at all, it was still sad to hear that my last grandparent passed away this morning. Heidi was actually Mom’s stepmom. She was 103 years old and while she had trouble seeing, hearing, and walking, her mind was still sharp. Heidi loved the outdoors and probably knew more about Arizona [...] It’s currently 0136 Lima on 23 October 2009 as I write this post, so it is the anniversary of this tragedy. There’s a post up over at the USNI Blog that I’d like to spotlight. It’s a reminder for everyone to think of and pray for those who lost their lives and their loved ones [...] And it came from the Russians. I just got an email from an old friend about a memorial to the victims of 9/11 that I’d never heard about. You probably don’t know about it, either. I’m stunned in a way that I haven’t heard about this before. I wanted to be sure it was real [...] I took this video at Nellis Air Force Base a couple of years ago during an airshow. I had posted the video on YouTube a while back, but that was before I knew how to add titles. I thought this version would be acceptable as my personal contribution on Memorial Day The missing man formation [...] |
