I am not going flying this weekend. I am taking it off. There sure is a lot to the notion of knowing your limits when you have a pilots license. Although there is a lot to go through to get your license there is a lot of trouble that can be found out there, for sure. I suppose that is what they want you to realize as part of the training. My Blackberry croaked this week. It woke up dead. I went through 5 stages 1.) Denial. It just didn't get charged, that's it. 2.) Anger. It must have got dropped, shit. Who could have done that? 3.) Bargaining. I will take the battery and the SIM card out, that'l fix it. 4.) Depression. Shit, now what am I going to do. I need to check my schedule quick. 5.) Acceptance. Heh. I don't feel that chain and that heavy weight around my neck, kinda feeelsss OKkkk.

There is always something going on at the flight school and the airport. I enjoy spending time there. I neglected to get a picture of the headset that dangled out the closed door of a plane for quite awhile in flight. The headset did not fair well. I went up to the North GA mountains today. Always nice, even nicer in the fall. It is a real treat. I stopped to watch a balloon launch.

Interesting bit. The following is what you get if you try to get to Mike Angelini's Linkedin profile. Mike passed away earlier this year. This profile handling gives a whole other meaning to the term "information lifecycle". Working on my MS we had a class devoted to the book "Information Ecology". Linkedin probably wanted some money to keep things in perpetuity. Or, this is what they probably call "The family wishes". I find the policy (business rule) that linkedin uses in a case like this is ironic to say the least. There is no shortage of irony in information science.
