You know how if you have an old car you don't want you can donate to the local volunteer fire department so they can practice with it? You know what I mean, the sort of car that nobody wants. Well, apparently you can do that with airplanes, too - www.nj.com/politics/202...

I picked up this little gem at a local "give-away" event over the weekend. Super music, and, yes, I do have a cassette player. More than one, actually. You never know when you might want to, well, you know ... listen to some good old stuff.

A recent article quoted in The Week magazine stated that scientists have discovered tea leaves can absorb heavy metals, such as lead, from water. We have invented an extensible municipal purification system that can remove such contaminants on an industrial scape for metropolitan water authorities.

I just finished reading "Witch King" by Martha Wells. Oh, man, that is a knockout book. I was hooked by the end of the first page, for sure.

This is an AI generated image because, as we all know, squirrels do not ride in flying saucers. Yet, they don't do it yet. Next week, well, you never know.

A friend texted that they were clearing out some of their old LPs and that I should stop by ASAP. Good thing I did as this was in the outgoing box. Direct from 1966, the Mamas & the Papas first studio album! Playing now on the old disc spinner.

A bit of humor here. A small flaw in MSFS24 causes passengers in some airplanes to "wing walk". If this isn't funny, well, I don't know what to say.

Donald Trump stops repairs of electronics equipment - www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/b... Unless the parts needed are in stock in the US now, and most aren't, they will not be coming into the US. So, if you have audio gear, phones, computers, etc. "in the shop", too bad. You are sunk.
