  1. My grandfather was an engineer on B-25 in the pacific during WWII so this plane will always hold a special place in my heart. This past summer I was able to see one in person for the first time at a local air show. It certainly was not as large as I imagined and simply awe inspiring that a crew of six crammed into them and flew across the ocean while dropping bombs and dodging fighters. I don't know how they did it!

    Amazing that 16 could be assembled in location.

  2. Well I'm glad Trump and his Republican friends finally saw the light of day on the Syria issue. I guess they should have allowed Obama to take action all those years ago, perhaps some lives would have been spared. I suppose Syrians and their poor babies are no longer, as Trump said, "a great Trojan Horse". I'm glad Paul Ryan no longer views the choice of action as "feckless show of force".

    I wonder what changed their minds? Did their hearts really grow three sizes that day or was it simply the initial after the name (R) that made all the difference? At the very least Raytheon stock went up and we stopped talking about Russia for a few days. I guess all the time on the golf course really helped to clear Trump's mind. :D

    DD: That name Butler brings back memories.. In 1967-8 when I worked for Ithaca Delivery out of the old trolley barn on Wolf Street in Syracuse, the night dock man's last name was Butler and he had a refuse truck he ran days up near where he lived in the Fulton / Oswego area. Could the truck belong to his sons???

    Most likely. Charles Butler? They go by the name of Butler Disposal Systems now and are based out of Oswego, NY. They have been steadily increasing their footprint in the Syracuse area the past few years with many brand new Macks added to the fleet.

  4. “We're going to win so much. You're going to get tired of winning. you’re going to say, ‘Please Mr. President, I have a headache. Please, don't win so much. This is getting terrible.’ And I'm going to say, ‘No, we have to make America great again.’ You're gonna say, ‘Please.’ I said, ‘Nope, nope. We're gonna keep winning.’

    :D
