Did you know? The army was ready to retire the Chinook (it's quite old) because they couldn't see a need for heavy lifting when a mass of 'hawks could do it. Then they had to operate in the mountains of Afghanistan where the Chinook is the only thing that can lift anything worthwhile.

An endurance test!

I was out for a walk last evening around midnight and turned a corner and saw one of those 12 foot skeletons in person for the first time. They are imposing and a little bit unsettling up close. 💀

A lot of you are bummed about the "pivot to center" by the Harris campaign, and I'm telling you, a person who is solidly left, that this is not for you. This is for the undecided 5% weirdo freaks. They hands down thought Walz won the debate. They don't want a freak and they don't wan't super left.

This was a difficult video to watch for personal reasons.

Old and chubby and still amazing.

An interesting video of David Gilmour et al practicing Breathe/Time. A bit of how they do it stuff. youtu.be/E3sP6AXKuYg?...

That's true. I am a big David Gilmour fan and they were a huge presence in my life so.... probably lots of emotional value.

My reaction as well... Seems low.
