EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE!

So, here is the illustrious EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE! This is where many aviation records have been broken, many secret planes flown, and many famous aviators flew! We flew by Edwards a few weeks ago and I'd never noticed it before. At first glance it just appeared to be a dirt landing strip, but upon further observation we noticed the "shuttle" runway and military features. ATC confirmed it for us! Pretty neat!

JIMMY WINS!!!!

Well, after a lot of hard work and training, it looks like my girlfriend's son Jimmy, is back with a vengeance! He just won his first seeded tennis tournament this weekend down in Miami! Jimmy was the only seeded player to advance beyond their first match! He really is a spectacular player, and an incredible young man to boot! Congratulations Jimmy!

Graceful Seagull

Even though seagulls are a pretty bothersome bird at the beach, they can be a thing of beauty too! Here's a shot I took yesterday of a seagull taking a trip down the beach. I'm always amazed at how far they can "sense" another seagull getting a morsel of food to eat. Within seconds, a hundred birds will convene from all over the beach for a potato chip that someone threw into the air! At least it makes for good photos!
