Happy Birthday, Pete Townshend!



My wife, and me, in the kitchen just after 9 PM, the Lakers won, she is home from dialysis, and it is Pete's Birthday! She rarely wears her WHO shirt, but today she flaunted it....and, HAD NO IDEA it was Pete's B-Day! Pete will affect YOU that way too!

Side note....Gonna go shooting WW I and WW II machine guns in a couple of weeks. Fun stuff. Gatling gun too. Love it.

Air Show, March Air Reserve Base

I was NOT at the airshow...I was very near to it! It was a neat trick, we knew. My wife, and...one of my daughters, we got to hear the ROAR of those cool planes, but no traffic, no walking nightmare...we briefly visited the area, and got very cool things to see and hear.




Lead by the WW II P-38 Lightning, the zoomed cell phone photo shows, at left, the new F-22 Raptor, at right of the Raptor is the fantastic front line F-15, and in the rear is the fabled F-86 Sabre....of the Korean War.

Note:

The P-38 was designed by the SAME GUY that designed the U-2, and the SR-71 Blackbird!
