How cool is this?
Shows you the traffic at various US airports with details of incoming and outgoing flights.
Thanks Leo.

I don't know about you, but this spins me right out.
It's one of the latest photos from mars, including a mini tornado.
And thanks to Coop for sending it my way.

Another flying post. I'm on the home stretch now, baby.

Those close to me know of my cavalier attitude towards use-by dates.
"Don't eat that! It's a week out of date!"
"Only a week?" Chomp chomp.
There's nothing I love more than food that has been slightly, er, aged.
I present my newest hero.
Steve.

After my trip to Melbourne, the Golf has a new nickname - Wolfie the Bug Smasher. Kir (my SO) and I nicknamed him Wolfie, after Wolfsburg, the spiritual home of Volkswagen. Somewhere between Sydney and Wangaratta we had a run in with a swarm of gnats, the exoskeletons of many of them now adorning Wolfies front end, having come off second best in a contest between entmology and Das Deutsche Auto Technologie.
ALL HAIL WOLFIE, THE BUG SMASHER!!!!

What a week I've had. Went to Melbourne for the first time, qualified as a contestant on Temptation and had a brilliant flight, earning my CSU endorsement and given the nod for my first cross country solo.
