Agreed. Especially the additions in the comments.

I hate Black History Month. Not because I'm racist, but because of how it's framed. Instead of celebrating Black people who displayed exceptional excellence, courage, and honor, Black History Month is presented through a victimhood lens. George Floyd, Michael Brown, and manyโ€ฆ

Walks in to the Blackhorse in Clarksville, reminiscent of folks spread to the points of the compass and all the great times we had. "Probably won't see anyone I know." Opens the door to find my Company Commander from 26 years ago leaving. Nice.


One of my favorite quotes: "You know what wakes me up in the middle of the night covered in a cold sweat? Knowing that you aren't any worse than anyone else in your whole screwed up generation. In the old days, you know how you got to the top? Huh? By being better than the guyโ€ฆ

Weird. We ended up having a similar discussion when the Daughter asked my wife what Bolsheviks were. "Is she ready for a real answer?" my wife asked. She knew my answer: "Absolutely." If it is scary, then perhaps they will pay attention. If it gives nightmares, then theโ€ฆ

"Thatโ€™s not journalism itโ€™s narrative laundering." Very true: this isn't accidental.

This makes me ill. All Approach had to do is tell Pat25 to do a 360 for aircraft on final. All Approach had to do was tell Pat25 a clock direction and distance to Flight 5342 and NOT "the CRJ." All the FAA had to do was look at the 75 feet clearance possibility and closeโ€ฆ

"The disaster wasnโ€™t caused by too little safety. It was caused by safetyism." Perhaps the same could be said about the unrest in MN: that antagonism there is by so many who weren't punched in the mouth at some point.

I wrote a book on the BP oil disaster, & thereโ€™s a critical parallel with ICE protests in Minnesota that almost everyone is missing. When the Deepwater Horizon explosion dominated Twitter for months, the narrative was simple: BP cut corners on safety. That story was comforting.โ€ฆ

What ISN'T seen is often as interesting as what is. For example, I haven't seen many ISR-style aircraft and their distinctive flight profiles in the Minneapolis area. They're usually there during periods of unrest. To me, that is interesting.
