Well, I’m out of town at the EAA Airshow at Oshkosh, WI. I’m stunned at how big it is. There’s a zillion people out here. And a zillion planes. It’s great. More later. Maybe. :)

…it isn’t simply that I don’t get to enjoy that functionality any more. No, it’s far worse. Water and bits of food sit in there. Lingering. Waiting.
