Happy Hour

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

Update: Plane Crash at Wichita Eisenhower National Airport-Close to Home

I received a text from the Youngest Daughter this AM.
A plane, a Beechcraft King Air, crashed into the Flight Safety Facility at the Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport in Wichita, Kansas. She is about 1/4 mile from the accident site. I used to work at Bombardier-Learjet to the West of Flight Safety.
I will simply link to Wichita TV stations. They will have continuing coverage on this available.
So far there are 2 dead and 5 injured according to KAKE 10, 2 dead, 4 injured and 5 missing according to KWCH 12.

The Youngest Daughter just called. She and her co workers watched the King Air go in.
After the ATAC Hawker Hunter going in at Point Mugu...............................I guess the bad stuff comes in bunches.
Update to the story.
KSN TV has some pictures of the accident at the following link:
