Pure idiocy

Someone in the current aviation administration thought it would be a good idea to fly Air Force One at low-levels over NY. And they supposedly didn’t disclose the details to the president. Brilliant move folks.

Churched @ CP

Methods Change, Message remains the same

Last week I had the opportunity to visit Kansas City, MO and visited the Union Station. This massive building 850,00 sq. ft, opened around 1914 was a huge success. Within a few years, hundreds of trains with thousands of passengers went thru every day.  By the 1940s nearly 700,000 trains had passed thru in less than 30 years. However [...]
