This fellow, while remembering things about his days in the 52’s, remarked that now he understood what the old WWII fliers where experiencing when they visited the AF Museum in Dayton, Ohio.

This museum here – the one where you can stand on the grass and stick your head into the guts of the plane – is at Warner-Robins in Georgia.

I remember when this fellow in Georgia took off from SAC bases in this model plane. The wings were so long there was a wheel on the end of each wing – because they soft of flapped when the planes rolled down the runway for take-off. We would watch one after another lift into the air when we would visit the alert visitor’s area and the klaxon went off. There was a guy who was 35 on the crew and we all worried that he would collapse after running to the airplane; the guys would tease him about breathing hard. They said he was OLD . . . hahahahahahahahahaahahahahaha!

I look at that title and even thought I was thinking of the wind that is weather – breezes, gusts, straight line and so forth, I get the image of a wind-up toy in my mind. But never mind that. Too late? Well, I should have kept my mouth shut.

It is windy here. No, do not see all the folks walking around stiffly with a little thing to twist coming out of their backs; words such as “wind” can be a problem, can’t they? Another one is polish. How much polish do  you need to screw in a light bulb? For seem reason my spirits are up right now, even though they are manifesting themselves in a juvenile fashion. I mean spirits as in attitude – not liquor, although it is up too. You knew that though, didn’t you?

Okay, really, the shrubs and trees are whipping around and I have to go out and drag a limb that came down off the sidewalk. I am hoping it is a dead one that has been threatening to come down and will be light and, obviously, no longer a threat. I was not aware of this until middle age, but the chief cause of death in the days of early settlement in these parts was falling limbs. Sometimes it amuses me to think of how residential lots are now advertised as “wooded” when back then, the draw might have been a “clearing” in which to build.

I have strayed from the weather topic – I guess the wind blew me off.

Even though the new WordPress upgrade tells you that your image did not pass the upload test, it is sucked into the Media Library, from which you can pull it out by it’s url. Sounds kind of graphic, doesn’t it. I did not know this for two days. I kept trying to upload from my computer and was rebuffed every time. But, you can work around this if you enter it with the url it has been assigned when it somehow sneaks into the Media Library. Or maybe it is Shanghaied and wakes up to find itself there.
