The touches of orange on this Timex Expedition remind me of the oranges on a unit patch I once proudly wore. #BigSeiko #SierraHotel #EagleBot

Aerobraking is an effective way of slowing the F-15 Eagle after landing, but you have to watch your pitch or you'll scrape the tailcones. In this case, in front of witnesses. #EagleBot #SierraHotel

Had the Merlin bird ID app running on my phone during this morning's walk. Strongly doubt the heron, but who knows? I've seen pelicans circling over Tucson, possibly blown north from the Sea of Cortez, so maybe? #ornithologicalcuriosity

Surprised he didn’t go with Comic Sans.

I was saying this during the *first* term. June 2018: "This isn’t 'politics.' It’s Morality 101. Sadly, though, the political process is our only hope of changing things. God damn it, friends, I know Democrats are spineless and uninspiring, but we have to vote the Republicans out."

Look at these frosted #brownies Donna made. Is there any universe in which they'll last until Halloween? No way!

Seikoholic much? As of the weekend my collection's up to six, each one a favorite. To celebrate I asked my barber to cut it long this morning, what with winter coming up and all. #BigSeiko #GetAHaircutHippie

Is there a bottom with Trump and his followers? No, there is no bottom. Speaking of taking a shit in a fighter cockpit, I know of exactly one case where someone did that (have heard of several, but *know* of just one) ...

I'm a fan of Torgoen, a watch brand marketed to aviators. Just bought my second (the blue one). #bigseiko

My watch o' the day is a limited-edition Seiko from 2021. This one always gives me a lift and I should wear it more often. #bigseiko

From the BBC, just now. What do you suppose he means by "globalist institutions"?

Finally, a break in the case of the always-empty hummingbird feeder! #NightVisitors

From a blog post I wrote on the 16th. Trump's own words of the past couple days back me up. He really does think it's illegal to criticize him!

Wood model of the F-15C I flew at Kadena in the early 1990s. Had it made in Angeles City, Philippines, as a gift to my father, then inherited it on his passing. #EagleBot #SierraHotel

From a blog post I wrote in Nov 2016: "They knew what they were voting for, and whether they like it or not they’ll always have the stink of that vote on them, just as Germans of an older generation have the stink of Hitler and the Nazi Party on them."

Talked today with a Dutch podcaster about my time in NATO flying the F-15 Eagle, so I wore the watch I flew with in those days. Turns out it's hard to flash a watch during a Zoom session without looking like you're doing it on purpose! #bigseiko
