Back to the "Deep South" in Duluth GA

I get a kick out of hearing the term "Deep South" in 2026. It is a crazy incredibly outdated label. I think maybe I should start saying the "Deep Northeast". I am a Yankee. My family came over on the Mayflower and moved to Upstate NY via Connecticut. Terms used in the revolutionary and Civil war days are generally inappropriate. My family is all but totally out of NY State now. I find the term "deep south" to be of the same thinking that the movie "Heidi" is what contemporary Europe is like. It is a long drive between Berkshire, NY and Duluth, GA. Most of the 35K miles on the truck were spent in between. I drove the truck about 3k miles in 2-1/2 weeks. It was great to spend time on the farm. It was good to make some progress on needed repairs and improvements. I also felt good about making some new friends up there. I will be back up there in August.

The following pic is from the "pre-alpha release" for the new Microsoft Flight simulator program (Sept 30, 2019). They actually use Google Earth (Bing) data for the scenery. I have tagged my SoCal home and the building I work in. We sure have come a long way from the Commodore 64 version in the early '80s. Quite impressive.

I am trying to get current with my flying. It is difficult in SoCal. More difficult than I anticipated. In the last 3 years there have been as many GA crashes close by here. Here is one I just learned about very very closeby Crash Revised plan is to get current in Atlanta. Angie and I continue to explore and learn about Southern California. What is a "Weasel" you might ask. In this case it is an 3-egg omelet covered with chili, onions and cheese. Pretty much a breakfast garbage plate.
