Income Gap? Always!

The Income Gap: How Much Is Too Much? http://n.pr/1hzu4Kg

     There have always been rich and poor, check the history books, and there always will be differences in both wealth and income. Some believe there exists some harmonious balance, some happy gathering between the floor and the balcony, to these I say it will never be found, and if it is forced into existence it will so quickly collapse. Check the history books.

The Fear of The Lord Yehovah is Not in Them

      A sure sign of the End of Days, when man takes his 'free will' past the point of its intended purpose.

     Half a dozen years ago it would have been unthinkable, but on November 2, two men who graduated from West Point were “married” to each other at the U.S. Military Academy's Cadet Chapel (shown) — the same sacred place of Christian worship that has held the funerals and memorial services of fallen soldiers and august military commanders.

“It's maybe one more barrier that's pushed over a little bit, or maybe one more glass ceiling that's shattered that makes it easier for the next couple,” one cadet  quipped before the controversial ceremony. Neither of the men is currently active in military service.

Model Airplanes

Back to the work bench. Yep it's been a long time since I smelled the epoxy and watched those servos move back and forth. It didn't take long to get back in the sport and start whipping the airplanes into shape. The Tecate is upside down in need of some fuselage repair after a stall and rough landing. The L-19 is going together well while the Astr-Hog awaits it's turn on the bench as we've barely begun assembling it. Can't wait to get them all together, the PT-19 and the Ace Alpha are in line as well. :)

Train on the tracks

     While snapping a few shots of the old yard engine at the Pittsburg, Texas Pilgrim Feed Mill, 

along came this BNSF freight picking up speed as the engineer fed the throttle to the three locomotives as they passed our position. The ground shook and the diesel smell filled the air as they rumbled on by.

Flitzer Biplane

The Flitzer series of biplanes designed by Lynn Williams of UK origin is most appealing in its structure as a vintage style from the early years of aviation. The fact of it flying on low power and relatively inexpensive Volkswagon engines make it much more appealing to the homebuilder. Personally, I favor the Provisional Z-4 design as it is the lightest and smaller of the Flitzer series.
