anything new goin in the flight bag? got a cool new bag? how did santa
treat you? since he's a flyer too.

I got coal again this year. I have enough to start a smelter.

well, hang around. i fully believe that coal-fired avaition is right
around the corner. coupla minor technical issues and my stock is
gunna take off.


meanwhile, about those pesky controller-trainee issues. i fly out of a
"D" that does a lot of training in the tower. honestly, i've learned
to watch extra hard for traffic. some days the student traffic is so
heavy the whole thing looks like a cub-scout jamboree. i know; i is
one. got my green card but i still is one.

usually, if i do something stupid in the pattern i'll beg for sympathy
since "i'm still learning" and, every time, what i get back is "that's
ok, so am i." then we figure out how to sort it out. now, i do
understand that this is a "D" and not bravo.

come to think of it, i came within one cranklight of getting coal
myself.
