Atlas is down...

There's a good reason that "weather" is a curse word in German.

The German word for people has several connotations, but I am not aware
of any associated with the word for weather.

I give anything for some of that rain. In the last several days I have
flown over some of our wildfire areas. Remember the town of Ringgold,
TX, it is 60% gone. More low humidity and high winds are forecasted
during the next week.

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to
your slightly older self.

I think that is called Hawaii.

By the time my kids were about 5, I could give each one of them a road
map. "You tell me where we are and how long before we get there!" I had
to do some explaining at first, but they got into it.

In about another hour, we'll loose that 1 degree C, and the fog will
start
freezing to everything.... again.

The high was 82 deg. f. here today. (NW Oklahoma)... on the 3rd of
January. We've had two weeks of unseasonably warm weather. Of course
everything is so dry that there are wild prairie fires raging in the area.
Winds are gusting to 40. They just evacuated a small town to the
northwest of us. We're about 12 inches behind normal on rainfall and we
only get about 20 per year. I'd trade some warmth for some moisture!

Because I fly, I envy no one.

Thank you Gene, Dave and Montyblack.

Montblack, I knew it was "Aviation Monetary Units ", but didn't know
how much. Now I know it is $1,000.00. Gene, if the ratio is 1 to
1,000 I wont need a calculator thank you. :^)

Maybe that ratio is a poor choice for aviation. At least in the U.S. I don't
think there's a *single* aviation standard that uses metric. I vote for $500:$1...

Well, the english units are usually based on simple integer math... it's just
not consistent. Fractions are acceptable... So, 500:1 makes for a fairly easy
computations (like cups/gallon = 2x2x4:1), but still doesn't allow for simple decimal
movement. Just annoying enough...
