". . . The nation’s maiden plane voyage by the Wright Brothers didn’t occur until 1903. Trump referred to that flight elsewhere in his speech. . . Twitter foes were doing loop-de-loops over the blunder. “Even back then, there were always flight delays on Colonial Airways, since there were no airplanes,” quipped one wag. Some takedowns involved colonial fighters writing home to lovers about being stranded on airplanes that didn’t yet exist. . .The hashtag Revolutionary War Airport Stories was quickly trending on Twitter.

Apparently we took La Guardia Airport from the Brits in 1776 and have been trying to give it back for 243 years.

Dear @realDonaldTrump, It just occurred to me that you & my great, great, great grandpappy were on the same flight in 1812. The family stories of the emergency landing during the red flare are absolutely riveting. Just curious, what time do you start sundowning? xoBette #BeBette

My Dearest Rose,
I'm afraid I must be the bearer of bad news. My flight has already been delayed a fortnight, and I fear it will be longer. The army has shut down the airport and the airplane will not be invented for 6 score and 7 years from now.#RevolutionaryWarAirportStories

My dear Frederick, They continue to hold us prisoner. All we have been given to eat are small portions of miniature pretzels, and no ale or mead. They torture us with stories of some mythical being called a “beverage cart,” yet it does not appear. #RevolutionaryWarAirportStories

That moment when Hamilton and Lafayette seized our airports was truly a surprise move. I thought they were riding through a marsh.

". . . Asked what lessons he had learned from the federal response to Hurricane Maria's devastation of Puerto Rico, Trump said that his administration's handling of that effort was an "incredible unsung success.” . . . He continued the remarks Wednesday morning, tweeting that, "We got A Pluses for our recent hurricane work in Texas and Florida (and did an unappreciated great job in Puerto Rico, even though an inaccessible island with very poor electricity and a totally incompetent Mayor of San Juan).". . . A recent study estimated that nearly 3,000 people died in Puerto Rico in the first five months after that storm hit — a 22 percent increase in deaths compared to previous years. . . The mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, called Trump’s comments Tuesday about Maria "despicable.". . .
the crisis is still ongoing, that the infrastructure in the island is still very weak, tens of thousands of homes have blue tarps or blue roofs, and that rates of suicide or attempts have risen dramatically in the aftermath of the storm. . ."
The air betrays a chill
That while not unfamiliar
Is new to my summery soul
And the dark overpowers the sun
With a frequency not forgotten
Nor always welcome
Experience teaches me that such times
Must surely follow heat and light
And the seasons like life
Will turn turn turn
Like all the rest my years
As well will run their course

. . . must be careful. . . (and honest). . .
(from James Madison: A Biography by Ralph Ketcham)
". . . Madison first considered some questions of agrarian philosophy: what caused men to change from hunters to farmers? what instincts, if any, inclined men to become civilized? what ratio of plants to animals best suited human progress? and finally, what balances of nature must man be careful not to upset, lest he make the world unfit for human habitation? Especially important was plenty of pure air. "in all confined situations, from the dungeon to the crowded work-house, and from these to the compact population of overgrown cities," Madison declared, "the atmosphere becomes, in corresponding degrees, unfitted by reiterated use, for sustaining human life and health.". . ."
Cannot get the wall-unit, air conditioner to restart and actually move cool air anymore. Is it worth requesting attention from the front desk for this? We'll only be in this room one more night. It's about 4:45 and rest from the morning's activities is required. But some websites at which I perform routine business don't seem to believe it's really me. Does this mean they can detect from my login that I am physically in an exotic locale and have prohibited me from access for security reasons? I think maybe. Nevertheless, as we power-nap and attempt cyber contact respectively, both windows are open allowing a pleasant, dry afternoo breeze in the room. . . and their is an accordionist on the street below gently serenading us.

When I woke up today I had all that I want
Everything that I did brought desired results
How could this be? All the rules have been changed
In the pool where I drowned I am swimming again.
But of course I am wrong. How could I understand
When my society tells me how tall I stand?
Then I take it inside and wait for life’s kiss
Which is sure to arrive ‘cause I’m riding my bliss.
What did I do? The world holds me up
Invisible hands grant the nourishing cup
Have I found a way that has always been there?
It seems to me it came out of thin air.
The child waking up brings the old crone to tears
Pushing through my disguise see the tips of my ears
How could this be all the rules have been changed
In the pool where I drowned I am swimming again.
When I blindly reach out to what I cannot see
Grace reappears and it rescues me
I’m not what I feel, I’m not what you think
I’m only what is and what isn’t in sync.
Out of Thin Air

(from Jay's recent post on the OHOMusic Facebook page . . . )
Jay: "So Sam, Have you aired the (WTMD 05/15/14) OHO interview? If not, do you intend to air it? Inquiring minds want to know. I won't be hurt if you have changed your mind; but I would be disappointed that what was discussed did not reach the level of interest or entertainment of some of your other guests, the bar having been set rather low, not by you; but by them."
Sam: "Hey Jay, I haven't aired it yet -- my wife and I had our second child a couple months ago and I'm digging out from a mountain of work right now. I do intend to air it -- I'll let you know!"
Jay: "OK, thanks, congratulations and best wishes, double trouble & 2x the fun!!!"

(from Tradewindsnews.com)
"It appears that a relaxing luxury cruise to Turkey is a good way of preparing for the hardships of fighting in the wasteland of Kobane. The international police organization, Interpol, is calling for airline security checks to be extended to cruise lines as some of those hoping to fight in Syria and Iraq are now going by sea. Interpol's counter terrorism chief, Pierre St Hilaire, said there was evidence that jihadis were taking cruise ships to the Turkish port of Izmir. Carnival’s Costa Crociere subsidiary, MSC Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line are among the operators offering voyages that include calls at Izmir. St Hilaire had no details about how many would be jihadis were taking a cruise to war but up to 15,000 foreign fighters are reported to have joined Islamic State and other groups fighting in Syria and Iraq. "Because they know the airports are monitored more closely now, there's a use of cruise ships to travel to those areas," added St Hilaire. Interpol wants to extend its I-Checkit program that allows airlines to check passenger information to cruise lines and others that might be able to detect extremists going off to fight. But the trade body, Cruise Lines International Association, claims that shipping companies are already taking security as seriously as the airline industry."

Dear Global Economy, we thank thee for thy economies of scale, thy professional specialization, and thy international networks of trade under Ricardo's Law of Comparative Advantage, without which we would all starve to death while trying to assemble the ingredients for such a dinner as this. Amen. - Eliezer Yudkowsky
Let us take a moment to think about where the food we are about to enjoy has come from and to acknowledge those who worked to bring us this food. Let us appreciate the earth, the sun, the air, and the water needed to nourish the plants and animals. Let us thank the farmer who cared for the plants and animals and the migrant worker who toiled to harvest the crops. Let us thank the laborer who processed the food, the truck driver who brought the food, and the grocery store workers who displayed it. Finally, let us thank our friends who prepared this meal and have provided us with the opportunity to be together and share each other’s company. - Herb Silverman
We return thanks to our mother, the earth which sustains us. We return thanks to the rivers and streams, which supply us with water. We return thanks to all herbs which furnish medicines for the cure of our diseases. We return thanks to the moon and stars, which have given to us their light when the sun was gone. We return thanks to the sun, that has looked upon the earth with a beneficent eye. Lastly, we return thanks to the Great Spirit, in Whom is embodied all goodness, and Who directs all things for the good of Her children. - Iroquois Prayer
This food is the gift of the whole universe - the sky, and much hard work. May we eat it in mindfulness, so as to be worthy to receive it. We accept this food so that we may practice the path of understanding and love.
-Thich Nhat Hanh
In the spirit of humility we give thanks for all that is. We thank the great spiritual beings who have shared their wisdom. We thank our ancestors who brought us to where we are now. We are grateful for the opportunity to walk this planet, to breathe the air, to taste the food, to experience sensations of a human body/mind, to share in this wonder that is life. We are grateful for the natural world that supports us, for the community of humankind that enables us to do many wondrous things. We are grateful that we are conscious, that as intelligent beings we can reflect upon the many gifts we have been given. - Unknown
Got no checkbooks, got no banks. Still I'd like to express my thanks - I got the sun in the morning and the moon and night. _ Irving Berlin
