Under the Weather
Imagine the horror with which darkness, rain, and wind, fill persons who have lost their way in the night; and who, consequently, have not the pleasant prospect of warm fires, dry cloaths, and other refreshments, to support their minds in struggling with the inclemencies of the weather.

Blast Off
Roscosmos Soyuz-2 rocket launch of the Progress MS-19 mission yesterday (2/15/2022) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan is worth watching if only to hear the roar of fire lifting 334 tons off the earth.
Skip ahead in the video to 58 minutes to see the moment they “light the candle“.

Aviation
Flying machines epitomize the realization of a 3-D experience of the world.

Now my wing is in the garage, ready for the museum. It’s still flight worthy, and it could still break my neck.

Do you recognize the pretty city in the image above? Hint: It’s an almost 12 hour drive east-southeast from Cupertino.
