[Jane]

And that's what I know, so far.

That's a lot.

[George]

PAGE FIVE DANCE!!

[Jane]

Oh right.  Have you considered doing the flag without the guns?

[George]

And speaking of Five, there were also five, count 'em, FIVE CDs waiting for me at work, along with the laserdiscs!

[George]

Oh right.  Have you considered doing the flag without the guns?

My dad wanted the full military salute, so my niece doesn't mind leaving for that one part.  Since it's outside, she should be able to go into the church and wear her noise-cancelling earphones, and then come back out when it's done.

[Jane]

Of course if it is what he wanted.

[George]

Of course if it is what he wanted.

Yeah.  He originally wanted to be buried, but years ago my mom talked him into getting cremated (it's a lot less expensive), and he was okay with that, but he wanted the military guns.

Headline from a Washington Post story 

The Flight Goes Nowhere. And It’s Sold Out.
People who miss flying are rushing to buy tickets for flights that land in the same place they depart from.

I saw that, too!  What's the point??

I think you will be glad to have it.

[George]

If they're allowed to fly in place, why no go to another place??

I miss going places, not the flights.  I seems to work when they fly over pretty scenery and can move around on the plane for views.  No luggage needed reducing the pre-travel stress.

[Jane]

The flights are in locations with very low covid numbers.  I suppose if they landed elsewhere they would have to quarantine once they returned.

[George]

That's weird...I guess some people just have too much money.

[Jane]

They aren't just circling above their airport. Some of these flights are long.

[Jane]

That's weird...I guess some people just have too much money.

. Or are just really bored.  I do believe the flights are chosen for the best possible views.  Some have themes on the flights.

[Jane]

It is time for me to say goodnight.

[George]

Good night, Jane.

A very Happy Birthday to our very dear DR elmore!

[George]

Hi, Tom.

[TCB]

DR TCB did you see this story about what really might have sunk the Titanic?

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/solar-flare-actually-sunk-titanic-194900308.html

Actually, Jane, the article doesn’t really address the solar flares were responsible for the sinking, rather than the iceberg.  The solar flares may well have caused the incorrect bearings being sent out by the Titanic, but that had nothing to do with hitting the iceberg.  Or the rescue of the survivors.

[Jane]

True, however,  it is something new to think about.

[TCB]

It was always known that the position sent out from the Titanic was wrong, but it wasn’t known how far off the position was until the wreckage was found by Mr. Ballard and company.  In fact, the fact that they were about 13 miles from where the wreck was found was why it took so many years to find it.

[TCB]

Hello, George.  Continued hugs to you and your family.

[TCB]

Continued recovery vibes to DR skidrow.

[TCB]

Jennifer I think your family’s idea regarding the food was fantastic.

[George]

Hello, George.  Continued hugs to you and your family.

Thanks, Tom.

[TCB]

One more thing about those nasty icebergs back in 1912.  The positions sent out regarding the spotting of icebergs were not much help to the Titanic due to the hours that had passed between when the iceberg Was spotted and also the ocean’s currents.

That certainly makes sense.
