And now, for something completely different -

I came in to work this morning to hear the boss' dulcet tones discussing just how much emergency response was sent to LAX last night. Since he's so closely tied to the emergency services here in town (CERT being the least of them, he's on the ham radio community response team among other things) - he had a list of services responding to LAX last night, down to the individual services, battalions, search and rescue units, boats, helicopters...it made one want to add "and a partridge in a pear tree" to it.

Why? Jet Blue has one helluva pilot working for them.

There's even video of it.

Me? Wasn't watching television. I think at 6:19, I was eating dinner and playing on the Mac.

Wow.

Hm.

You know, after reading entry after entry about the means used to Leave Town, both in Texas and Louisiana in the path of the hurricanes - that private pilot's license sounds like a pretty damn good plan in case we have to leave this place in a hurry.

Because, well. I know the roads available here. Trust me. I'd do better with a stagecoach.
