As a California native and vacationing as a child in the Owens Valley just up the hwy from Manzanar, I would never have known about the Japanese internment and the many concentration camps, if my wife’s mother wasn’t born there…

“The woman at the center of Slater's story, Jewish American labor activist Elaine Buchman Yoneda, chose to go to a concentration camp with her half-Japanese son, Tommy, leaving her white daughter, Joyce, behind.”

NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer speaks with Tracy Slater, author of "Together in Manzanar," which tells the true story of a family of mixed heritage sent to a Japanese internment camp during World War II. https://n.pr/3Iz0M6f

That’ll be fun, and fast.
I’m slowing it up, downgraded to a C-120 last fall but she has the mighty O-235 mod ;)
If you can, be there for the pre-buy inspection, you will learn a lot about your new bird, where to look for trouble spots etc.
Not being directly involved is like buying sight unseen.

What have you got in mind?
‘An airplane’ covers a lot of territory. I’m a late stage A&P so I get asked to do pre-buys, my specialty is the DHC-II / III but any light single from a T-crate to the Caravan. It’s a winding road for sure, plenty of dishonorable souls, thankfully the good sellers show.

It’s a deep night in Kyiv.
And loud.
The buzzing of drones (iron bastards)
and the work of air defence (grateful).

We’re okay.
No drama.
It was expected.

Finally nailed down an engine squawk on my 120: a brand new plug out of spec… still want to get 25 hours on her, I’ve got three right now, but I’m thinking some kind of mono tone empiange in black like it’s eating the whole tail, then leaving the rest all faded scruffy moss and lichen spotted

I can live on these, but to honest they went from being made with lard to vegetable oil aboit 15 years ago and are not the same.
Still, a layer of butter and some smoke-fish… food of the gods!

I’m having a hard time picturing you with the full arm tat, and to be honest neither of us have had that much hair on our head for years ;)

This earthquake and tsunami warning comes while our senators are voting to claw back funding for rural radio stations in Alaska. Alaska is a radio state, many people out there are getting their emergency news and guidance through local public radio. Right this minute. #akleg #akgov

Tsunami warning issued after M7.3 earthquake near Sand Point

The warning includes the southern end of the Alaska Peninsula, along the coast, and up to both sides of Cook Inlet.

Hakeem Jeffries again declines to endorse Zohran Mamdani, saying "I don't know him well."

CHRIS HAYES: Why are you not endorsing the guy that won the democratic primary in a contested election in your backyard?

JEFFRIES: I didn't get involved in that primary election, and I don't know him well.
