back to basics

i saw an airshow today, and i thoroughly enjoyed it. two favourite parts: watching a spitfire's aerobatics, and seeing someone i know personally doing some crazy flying.

to summarize the day, i can write about way too much travelling, visiting a pretty cool base (although lunch was mostly inedible) and reorganizing those shifts. we're mostly settled.

it's late, i have to pack for a couple of weeks, and i have to be up early. i can't wait to get back to the desert, there's a lot less to think about down there.

9/11 conspiracy debunking: thanks again to moonflake. someone in my course began preaching this shit on the train, it took me a while to convince him to stop spreading the word without reading their article.

ian usher may have something going there - sometimes a restart is a good idea
