A trophy for Spurs! I’m not crying. OK yeah I’m crying.

In Palm Beach, that is, for sure.

I have to go there today to get a new snow shovel! See you there.

And this, with Nibbles the horse.

All day long. Class act. Hard worker. Fun guy.

I LOVED the Enchirito. Yum yum yum.

Thankfully we were in ATL where there are spare planes. We boarded a new plane within an hour and took off. Landed about 3 hours late, but safe.

After 90 minutes waiting for a pilot, he then discovered the plane had leaked all its hydraulic fluid. 3-hour repair. Still waiting. At least they let us deplane.

Except the dogs are different!

For my third post (and I’ll stop counting), this cheer for Aubrey Kingsbury, GK for Washington Spirit of the NWSL. She stopped all 3 PK’s to push her team into the Championship Match next week. Aubrey is daughter of one of my running friends. HERO day for her.

Here’s another puppy picture.

I’ve had a fortuitous year of flying. No issues over dozens of trips. So I can’t complain. But it’s burning up in here.

I really didn’t want my 2nd post on Bluesky to be about being stuck on a stifling hot plane parked at a gate in ATL while we wait 30-45 minutes for a pilot to show up. They can’t fire the engines. They can’t serve water.

Srsly, vibes of 2009 all over again.

I’ve said for many years the last thing I ever wanted was ANOTHER social network platform. But I’m excited now for Bluesky. I like its independence and its user-centered democratized/distributed architecture. So, welcome to me! Say hi to Dash and Penny.
