I saw the following headline at Yahoo News "Cops in riot gear break up Orlando shoe riot" My first thought was I didn't realize Maru was visiting Orlando.

I have been dizzy ALL DAY. What the heck?

Robitussin in case it's my ears and sleep, I guess, and hope for balance tomorrow!

So Babs, a little wax in the ears is a Good Thing^tm when O'rly has the floor?

Pappy is still smarting from the disrespectful way Orly was treated today in Indiana.

A little ear wax, sound canceling headset, all help.

Oh the shame. Well, at least that is what the Christian Right folks in Indiana are saying today.

The AP is reporting that Hoosiers can now buy license plates that benefit Indiana Youth Group which is an organization that serves LGBT youth throughout Indiana. They offer programs which create awareness. An unfortunate necessity in today's society where bullying leads to emotional pain and in the worst cases, suicide.

The plates cost 40 dollars, 25 dollars of which will go to benefit gay and lesbian youth in Indiana.

Indiana follows Maryland as only the 2nd state to provide a gay advocacy license plate. This is not something that leaders in Indiana typically embrace. In fact they did not embrace this at all. After being turned down for a specialty plate two years in a row the group was forced to file a lawsuit. The result is two years later Indiana Youth Group now has a specialty plate.

You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight.

In the past two weeks, there have been three failed attempts by Rep. Thompson (R-District 28) to amend bills aimed at taking away IYG's specialty plate. SB327 was amended yesterday by the Roads and Transportation committee with the provision that all specialty license plates approved in 2011 would be eliminated. In total, ten (10) non-profit organizations (listed below) were approved last year and will lose their plates under SB327. IYG is strongly urging Indiana voters to support IYG and all of the other non-profits affected by the bill by contacting their representative and the speaker of the house.

"We've been tracking these amendments for the last 2 weeks but have been trying to stay under the wire, thinking that the powers-that-be at the state house will do the right thing," says Mary Byrne, Executive Director of IYG.

The loss of these plates will be devastating to IYG, as well as all of the non-profits targeted with elimination in this bill. Losing this plate means that fewer young people struggling with identity issues will know about IYG and that IYG will lose the ability to serve more of these isolated youth. IYG will lose funding for a full-time youth worker.

IYG has served tens of thousands of youth since its inception in 1987. Last year alone IYG provided services, education, and programming to over 1,300 at-risk LGBTQ youth and their allies. IYG is the only agency with its focus on breaking the cycle of isolation that causes depression and sometimes death by suicide for LGBTQ youth.

All coupled with the roar you hear as you sit between the engines of a B-25 with no exhaust rings.

Never flown on a B-25, but did to climb in one once when it (doG it was small compared to the modern aircraft we have now) and a number of WWII era aircraft came to my base as part of an air show. I've had the chance to get close and personal with all kinds of exotic aircraft during air show time at whatever base I happened to be assign. Now that I'm retired, I have no interest in attending air shows, it's "been there, did that and have the blisters on my feet from walking the ramp."

I have flown on a C-130 for a 10 hour trip. After 10 hours, sitting on web seats, it takes a couple of hours afterwards to feel your butt. (Too bad it wouldn't magically firm and reduce your butt at the same time. ) It seems in the many times I flew on a C-130, I'm seated next a huge line that transects the plane showing where the the truboprop would fly if the engine exploded -- like it really believe it would stay with the 2 or 3 inches width of the painted band of the line.

It is my desire to actually pilot a B-25. I should have my multi engine rating this summer. Alas, finding and flying a B-25 is a whole different story. Maybe when I'm older and ready to croak someone will give me the chance via the Make A Wish foundation.

I flew from Naples to Heathrow via Aviano in a C-160 during Desert Storm. That's a German two engine version of the C-130. I got to ride in front. It was a trip over the Alps and it seemed as if we were skimming the tops. I loved it.

He was stationed in the UK, so it was bombing raids over the continent. Which type would've been the most likely, anybody care to guess?

B24 Liberator or B17 Flying Fortress.

My dad flew a transport during WWII. I think it was the C-130 but I seem to remember being corrected by someone, that they were using a precursor then. Do you know?
