Off on a bad start today already.
any day that starts at 5 in the damned morning is off to a bad start. my advice : go back to bed for at least 3 or 4 (or maybe 5) more hours.

well pff, do you have any idea how long the waiting list is for those things ???

(it's 3 in the afternoon here and i'd better get something done. really not very focussed this monday.)

Repeat after me "Monday <> focussed" - continue until you feel better about not feeling focussed

Actually we could have had VTOL airplanes since the early '60's, but our loving US government shut 'em down. (Dead serious.)

Canada created a state of the art intercepter in 1959, which was scrapped, some say, by pressure from the US, and purchased American equipment instead.
Dan Aykroyd made a movie about it.

I'ts 6:45 AM PST on another rainy day. I'm late again this morning. I haven't seen the mountains for weeks, but I know they're there somewhere.

there's something deeply wrong with using the words "6:45 AM PST" and "late" so close to each other.

that's a beautiful photo though.
