Chris, an acquaintance of mine got very upset and tried to get the path
altered, to no avail. The flights were out of the Atlanta area. I must
assume that no one cared about the votes of us Tennessee Hillbillies, so
we were considered to inhabit the nearest "vast wasteland". They flew
in pairs, so it was a double slap in the face each time they came over.

I’d have been a little grumpy at the damage caused by those flights, Jim. Why
couldn’t the aircraft fly out to sea?
I hold no brief for the ghastly chap who might be the next President, but I do
have my doubts about the wisdom of this country to tie its maritime air power
to the F35. The USA will probably make the best of it, but I have a feeling
that this country will run out of money maintaining its F35 fleet.
Nice photos though, Jim. And the calendar is a good idea, whatever the
capabilities of our devices; if I remembered to maintain a paper calendar less
would be forgotten in this household . .

I looked outside, and it was beautiful, but the thermometer was still below
freezing. I decided to explore the house for a few "inside" images. The
first is my late wife's favorite mantel ornament, one of a pair of
porcelain pheasants.

A long-gone hardware store used to sell real clay products. This one keeps
kitchen utensils close at hand.

Before everyone had a personal calendar on their smart phone, there was the
refrigerator door. Old habits are hard to break.

During the development of the F-35, which recently drew Donald Trump's
attention, Lockheed flew supersonic checkouts along a course over
Tennessee. My kitchen ceiling still bears the cracks that resulted.
