OK, this is me. Or no, it's not me, I'm a refugee from Facebook checking out Bluesky. The photo is the bear that's been visiting our home in the Oregon woods regularly since the end of the summer. Not to be alarmed, city folk. Bears here are harmless, and charming additions to our life.

Cleaning out old files this morning I came across this old photo of yours truly at the controls of the Spruce Goose. Ready to fly away into history, maybe interview Howard Hughes himself.
