Never a Bofors when you need one..

I regularly drive by Livermore's small airport. So seeing small planes taking off and landing is not uncommon. The place seems to exist mostly for the use of folks rich enough to afford a private plane.

But today? Today was special. As I drove across the landing path, I saw two planes approaching. This was unusual, so I stopped for a better look. Then I noticed the gull wings..

Yes, coming out of the sun were two Junkers Ju 87 Stukas. They had to be reproductions, but they were beautiful. All the markings in the right place, that beautiful roar of an overpowered military engine.

Friday Fiver

1. At the end of today, do you think you'll feel spent or refreshed? Well, I put off answering this until I got home, and I'm damn tired now with the prospect of loading the car for kshandra's trip to That Thing In The Desert looming... so I'm guessing spent.

2. Do you like back rubs? Not really. I just don't like being touched that much.

3. When did you last mislead someone? Today.

4. What color are your eyes? On average, tan. Oh, the irises! That's different. Hazel.

5. Friday fill-in: Lastly, let me know ___. when it's safe to watch Baseball Tonight again.
