Why Is There An Airplane on the Interstate?
On my way to work, I was puzzled to see what I thought was the fuselage of a single-person aircraft rolling down the center lane of my side of the Interstate. It was bright orange, so it was pretty hard to miss. As I pulled closer, my thought was confirmed, the wings had been dismounted and stored along the top of the plane, and the whole thing was being towed along behind a pickup truck. My next thought was "Is it a plane or is it a glider?" A glance to my right as I passed by confirmed the presence of a propeller. Plane it is.

Indexing
I challenged myself to index the back issues of our club newsletter, but I started getting bogged down into what was of significance from each issue. Articles, event reports, railfan reports, modeling tips or experiences, historical interest, obituaries, and member profiles all seemed appropriate to catalog. Each issue records the minutes from the monthly meetings, but not all of them have "significance" other than "the layout is in this stage of development".
It might be interesting to build a time line of the club's history as an offshoot of the indexing project. That way, I can pick up some of the details, such as "layout benchwork completed", or "evicted from old school building". This last point jumps out at me because I remember when the tornado took the roof off the school and the town suggested we move the layout due to safety concerns. We ended up shuffling the layout from place to place over the next few months.

AElfgifu knows just how to best annoy the Momma in order to acquire food:
- Hop up on the computer and scamper across the keys to the couch.
- Step on as many function keys as you can and aim for the power button before the Momma screeches your name and attempts to grab you
- Hop to the couch, whinging
- Act like you are going to curl up and cuddle
- Hop off the couch and stalk into the next room
- Wait in the hopes the message that the kibble bowl is empty has been received
- Repeat
