Thoughts, links, and project updates

I watched “Concorde A Supersonic Story (BBC 2017). Iconic Airplanes In History” Joan Collins was interviewed for this… along with several flight attendants, pilots, people who worked on building it and even passengers… They only had one profitable route, New York to London… so they started chartering the plane out….There were people who profited from selling day excursions to exotic places. When the Concorde crashed in 2000, it was a chartered flight headed for a cruise. The last flight was in 2003. One of the flight attendants said it was like aviation took a step backwards…. It’s interesting how there really is not much interest in super sonic travel… It was mentioned that a lot of investment bankers and hedge fund managers used the Concorde to commute. Could you imagine?

I just got through watching “Modern Marvels: How Las Vegas Became a City Like No Other” about an hour and a half ago…

It was very inspiring, it motivated me. It originally aired in Aug of 1998… Eric, Aaron and myself first went to Las Vegas in Jan of 1998. That was such a nice trip. We wanted papa pierce to go but he wouldn’t. We didn’t have a lot of money but managed to rent a car one day to look around the city some. We stayed in Circus Circus. I remember it being so nice and modern. It smelled good too. I would go in the hall where they had the conventions and walk around. I loved it there.

I remember the wind blowing real hard that day. What good memories. I don’t think we have any pictures of it. I went again with my former romantic partner and Eric. That was a good trip as well. I also went with him and his friend Tammie….. Ahhh Las Vegas. I’m not a gambler, but there is just something about its energy.

I just watched “25 FORGOTTEN Airline Meals Passengers Ate During the Golden Age of Flying” on YouTube”
There were several dishes made with an open flame… that’s unbelievable even in those days… Actually, especially in those days.

This is my kind of summer weather!
