Avatar [review]

I saw a beautiful thing today.

Robert A Heinlein Changed My Life

A Behaviorally Targeted Secret Santa

A present for my Twitter followers.

An evolutionary leap

A realization ~ Why hadn't I noticed this ~ Never a long day

Looking for something

Microlight Solo ~ Two weeks and change on the ground ~ Final Impressions

I almost Forgot ~ Buffs make everything better ~ Great comfort item

Write-up on my kit ~ The things that worked and didn't. ~ What I'll change next time.

The unexpected: ~ Sometimes it is a grand thing ~ Sometimes it's simple

First there was the pic ~ with mention of a story ~ Now you have the words.

I think it's dead now. ~ There's no way it's still healthy ~ It's not my fault though

Pictures from across the states

Today was the last ~ It started off in a cloud ~ Ended with regrets

An evil bathroom ~ Did The Joker design it? ~ I'm greatly displeased

A compromise reached ~ Colorado will be it ~ Barring surprises

Everything I have ~ All spread out around the room ~ Trying to dry out

Some complications ~ Starter is on the fritz now ~ Need a mechanic

A map of the ride ~ Twisties, beauty, and some slab. ~ It had all of it.

For those of you who don't "get" Twitter
