Heading back to DFW. With maybe 20 people on board (if that many), this flight was the emptiest I've seen any AA flight in years. Plenty of room to stretch out Looking out the ELP airport window at the Franklin Mountains. . . . . .and waiting for the inbound plane An American Eagle regional jet getting ready to leave for LAX Again looking towards the Franklins, this time from onboard

Sigh, if only people would just take 5 minutes to verify the reality of their favorite pundit's opinions before reposting them as the full truth facts they usually arent. That would be nice.

Even with being 250+/- miles east from the real show, I was able to enjoy the Sunday night's sunset eclipse from a hilly vantage point about 15 miles northwest of Denton. This was my first solar eclipse since May 10th, 1994. And that one didn't add up to much of squat for me, given the mid afternoon time of day, how it didn't go total where I was working in Garland, and my age that kept me

Apparently the root cause of my Linkedin generic "There was error" issues is an unadvertised 30,000 connection limit, based on some new (albeit vague) feedback from their 'Privacy Team' which also quotes the User Agreement. Hi Christopher J., Thanks for your reply. You have reached the maximum limit for connections. LinkedIn takes the act of connecting very seriously, and our User Agreement

Wondering why UPS's spiffy new My Choice Service has concluded my ground package is going to be delivered by end of day tommorow, when their long established tracking system says it is still 500+/- miles away in Memphis.

One of the neighbors was testing a new toy in the field beside the Fort. Looked like an old kid's pedal car, but motorized with an Navy prop plane shell.

Baseball sized hail and 2 tornadoes just SE of me -- clearly the universe did not take kindly to us Texans letting Rick Perry off his leash last winter. On behalf of all of us, we're very very sorry.

Somehow Alicia and I separately found the only two places in DFW where there wasnt a tornado or hailstorm today. Good times. The clouds did begin to lower as they passed by the Fort. While they were circulating (drawing a Tornado Warning), but thankfully in a loose chaotic way that didnt amount to anything destructive.
