Nice Enough Weather

 Yes, it is nice enough. A few things to do today. Aches and pains. Probably overdid the exercise this week. 










I don't seem to know my limits or when to quit.

Carrying an iPhone

 I really have never liked to carry things. I like my hands free. They don't need to be occupied, but rather, ready for action, for self-defense or whatever. Those so-called smart phones are all too bulky and awkward to handle. I see people carrying them in their hands and I'd hate that. Besides, if I'm going to be waiting around somewhere I'd rather observe my surroundings and the people around me. I like situational awareness. I used to have a writing class with a cop, and he taught me how to be aware of my surroundings and what to look for in other people. Useful. Better than sticking your nose into a "smart" phone. Could save your life.

How I Hate Texting

 The "smart" phone and texting have killed communication. At least, it's killed off humanly meaningful communication. It's just weird to me. 










Texting is not for me.

What Fine October Weather!

 Beautiful Halloween. Let's see then what November will be like. Probably deteriorating.

FAA Recreational UAV Certification

 That certification is a nice thing to have! And it was not that hard to get. The rules governing flight are pretty commonsense rules and basic aeronautics are just that: basic. I do have my FAA number on the two planes I've got that weigh more than 250 grams, but they still come in under the AMA "park flyer" limit. Who would have imagined that a simple hobby would get so complicated. And its all because some people are irresponsible-- enough of them to raise red flags. It only take a few jerks to spoil something good.
