Super Bowl

We managed to get through Super Bowl in Houston without a terrorist attack, so the year is off to a good start. My Squadron was on "standby" all weekend.

Last week I spent days at the airport working on a flight certification for "mission pilot" to get it done "just in case." I feel something is about to happen and wanted to get the flight tests done. 

But rain or the clouds were too low. But we get the Squadron Internet hook ups operational --finally--at the HQ. It took a half dozen of us two days to pull it together. 

I did get checked out and approved in the USAF Aux 182 by another Squadron member who flies jets for Continental Airlines, so if he thinks I'm good enough, that should be good enough. The First time we were scheduled to do the check ride rain started pouring, forming large waterfalls off the wings. I always get a flight test in the worst conditions. Next day we did it in marginal conditions.

Suddenly instead of Dean the Democrat nominee process has made a dramatic swing to Kerry at the moment. Winds of change in the air.

My Congress campaign seems to be pulling together, day by day. We'll see.
