Off the subject a little.  In 1978 I was an ATC instructor working at Keesler AFB in Biloxi, MS.  At this time we usually had 3 o4 Iranian students in every class. I also did some flight instructing at the base aero club and sometimes flew a Cessna 206 for some shrimp boats chasing parts and whatever else they needed.  One Friday night I got a call from the boat scheduler asking if I would be interested in a flight to an airport near Atlanta that night.  When I arrived at Gulfport airport I found 3 Irainian female students that had been in my class a few months before.  They remembered me and we had a good talk.  They had just graduated and wanted to defect to America.  During the flight they told me that things were going to hell in a handbasket back in Iran and they knew it would not be good for women and minorities.  About 6 months later the Shah abducted and we know what happened next.  I dropped them off at a small airport southwest of Atlanta, there were people there to meet them, gave them a good welcome.  One lady sat up front with me very interested in the instruments, communications and navigation.  I often wondered what has happened to them.

At the end of our street a crew is replacing water lines to connect to a new water and sewer lines.  About 12 men working and 10 are 50 or above.  2 are in their 30's.  The foreman says it is much harder to get young people to work construction now compared to 20 or 30 years ago.  He says one young worker complains a lot but the other is a hard worker and is a joy to work with wanting to learn to do new things.  They went through 3 women directing traffic around construction until they found one that didn't constantly complain about it's too cold, job beneath her, etc.

About 6 months ago I noticed my SS payments were arriving a day, sometimes 2 days, early.  It has been that way since then.  I receive it on the 3rd Wed of the month.  I didn't know if it's just my financial institution or widespread.

A married couple got in a terrible accident where the woman's face was severely burned.

The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny. So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin. However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.

After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty. All her friends and relatives just went on and on about how youthful she looked! One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay you."

"My darling," he replied, "think nothing of it. I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek.”

I cracked up laughing reading this.
Engines play an important role in safely completing most types of air travel.

On this day in 1919, President Woodrow Wilson suffered a debilitating  stroke that left him unable to fully function or discharge his duties.  His wife Edith played an outsized role in running the White House for  the last year and a half of his presidency. As Joe Biden's health  visibly deteriorates, we wonder if history will soon repeat itself.

My observation where I live is liberal women here are almost always angry about something.  It seems they aren't happy unless they're bitching about something.
