My uploads are mostly failing from here so I will have to enjoy and just circle back from the hotel tonight.
Attaching a short video clip to this one just in case though.
Great museum so far, shame I won't have time to hit the Air Force Armaments collection on my trip back Southeast. :)

Bummer.
Someone crashed into a street sign in my fromt yard last night.
There are a lot of bars and clubs on my block so it's not uncommon to hear people playing bumper cars during the small hours.
I think we're up to ~11 bars and two microbrewiers all within a short walking distance now.

Oli is a good dog.
I slept in exceptionally late after that drive home from the panhandle and she set by my feet almost the whole time, waiting for the day to start when my feet hit the floor. :3

Something fitting about our museums full of killing machines being in the Panhandle, a part of Florida where any long enough drive through can arouse some doubt about will to live. 🤪

Guatemala’s health ministry said it will gradually send home the Cuban medical brigade working in the country, ending a nearly 30-year program. The brigade is made up of 412 medical workers, including 333 doctors, who serve patients throughout Guatemala’s healthcare system.

The Naval Aviation Museum looks to have pretty tight rules about what visitors may carry.
Looks like a single loose camera and my CT007 pocket-scint will be the only kit I can bring in. Ah well. :)

Time for a driver swap.
It's easy to forget how long Florida is until you set out driving across it.

Packed and ready to hit the road now.
The dogs are in good hands so no worries there. :)
Fingers crossed for no mechanical issues along the way but as usual we can take any of those as they come. :D

Last month a longtime friend from my hometown found this at a yardsale.
It looks pretty detailed, the pricing suggestions may be out of date but it is good to see a guide approaching the glassware from they view of design.
He said they offered $3 and so he just passed it along to me. :D
