3. Kin you say "global warming"?
Sure you can... That's right!

Article in Scientific American this month showed the difficulties the great tit (in the Netherlands) are having with their primary food source now peaking 2 weeks ahead of their egg-laying schedule.

4. I left Tulsa about 1:00 pm


Today and the temp was about 64. I watched the outside air temp. display in the car on the way down here to Oklahoma City and it dropped 12 degrees along the way. I talked to my wife on the phone a while ago and she said there was a thunderstorm. It is just cold and windy here in OKC.

6. Karl, hope you are not having to fly in that crap!
I just told a neighbor today that I did not miss TSTMS and CAT-3A approaches in heavy snow (RVR 700). Man, I hated that CAT-3 autoland in both the B-737 and the MD-80. Actually, the MD-80's autoflight system was better than the B-737.

7. LOL, just got back from a quickie to STL, no wx to speak of.
I have never done a cat3 approach (and damn few with even altitude coupling :D)
Our old MU-2 had the boxes in it but they were broke & I never could get the old man to pay to fix 'em.

So I just kinda chase the damn needles down to someplace where I can see some lights. haha...
