So funny that I happened to take a helicopter flying in the same angle as Crispina’s plane. When I saw this challenge, I knew I had to play. I decided to go ironic this time. It sure feels like this is how things work sometimes…
This is not the time to criticize.
Not the time to say who is better at what, ok?
We each have our talents and lacks.
That’s neither here, nor there.
The important thing now is to work together.
We need to divide and conquer.
That IS working together! We can cover more territory this way!
You go left, I’ll go right. We meet in the middle on the other side.
Good? Excellent. Go!

So? What did you find?
Whaddaya mean you don’t know what you were looking for?
For fuck’s sakes.
I’m divided and concur. All too often people don’t know what they are looking for. It’s a WTF all over again.

Q
I game plan this way. “Y’all do this thing and Imma do this other thing. Over here, away from y’all since I’m not sure you know what in the blessed fuck you’re doing and I don’t need that shit in my life, coo?”.
It fetches me no smiles, gifts me no friends. But I have both of those things already so the game plan stays as it is. That’s the problem with this world, peeps keep changing the game plan and there is no blessed consistency to which those with no real idea can stick to. And if we’ve learned anything from history, it’s that there are a TON of peeps who have no real idea . . .
That first image was my flight into Newark back in the fall of ’92. Yikes!

It’s not a bad way to game plan, honestly.
It might not gift you friends but it does gift you peace of mind and removes the need to babysit those who don’t know where to go. And I am glad you see my point.
Yikes, indeed!

How cool you were able to capture that heli! Invariably a tree blocks any that go overhead (well except for that time a small plane crashed on a house in the neighborhood shortly after I moved in, but we don’t want any repeats of that). Nice job, Dale.

I know! It was right there, above the St. Lawrence! I wish it was a tad clearer but hey…
Every time I hear a plane fly overhead, that I feel is lower than usual, I have images of it crashing into a house à la “World According to Garp”… and here you are telling me somethinglike that has happened in your neighbourhood!

Yeah, it was really something. There were actually two planes that went down, one just a couple blocks away from my house. Here’s a link that may provide details. The photos from the first link may not display, probably due to the age of the story. Can’t believe it was nearly 20 years ago! https://www.9news.com/article/news/answers-sought-in-mid-air-collision-that-killed-5/73-345420984 and https://planecrashmap.com/plane/co/N360LL/

Yeah, figured as much. The story was on CNN and its video was no longer available either. I didn’t think to take photos of the destruction, just was in awe that the pilots managed to avoid widespread damage to other structures. My daughter and I baked chocolate chip cookies for the firefighters that were still present the next day mopping up. It was weird, the house was ruble but in the middle of it all, was a perfectly upright fridge standing in what was once a kitchen. We talked with the news channel reporter and she showed us a lot of footage. As I recall the pilot of the crash closest to my house had been a survivor of the Columbine High School shooting a few years earlier. Such a tragedy.

An old friend of mine was an Admiral. He once told me the basics of military success:
1) A mission
2) A leader
3) Ressources.
Any combination not addressing those issues is bound to fail. (Works in civil life too)
It seems the mission was not clear… 😉
