File Under: Children more important than the 1st Amendment

An LA Times story about a possible impending Supreme Court case involving the FCC, Fox, and fleeting expletives. The FCC is trying to say that broadcasters should be on the hook when a non-employee drops an F-bomb or other word during a live broadcast. Their reasoning sees to be that these words will destroy any child who hears them, therefore the 1st amendment must be waived.

File Under: Burner Time

Some pilots have come to the County for the weekend to fly. Unfortunately, God has other plans, he apparently scheduled a snow storm.

Anyway, we managed to get a flight off yesterday, before the weather arrived. I was lucky enough to get into the air with Lopper. Lopper was also kind enough to let me have burner time. It took us an hour and a half to go about a 1/4 mile. We were flying slow and low, with swirling winds. A good time was had by all.

That there balloon would be Jim Rogers new balloon.

File Under: Wooooohhhhhhhoooooooo!!!!

The Eagles have signed All-Pro Asante Samuel. Thank you Pats, for letting go of one of your best defensive players.
