Of that you're wrong, at least about me. When those cars be introduced (and if it happens in the rest of my life time), there won't be anyone happier than me on Earth! Because with a self-driving car I won't have to pay a truck load of money for a driving license.

But you will have pay for the car and insurance, etc.

If I may ask, Catholic Lady, what aircraft does your husband fly?

I was in the Air Force myself back in the early 90's, but I wasn't part of an air crew.

He just graduated pilot training 2 years ago and was selected to be an instructor for his first assignment. He teaches the new student pilots how to fly the T-6. Next year he'll go on to do his first "real" assignment and he's hoping to get the F-15. So we'll see.  Shy

Thank you for your service, btw.

No, thank your husband for his service. I just put my four years in, just happened to be in during the first Gulf War but never was anywhere near the Middle East, was honorably discharged, and to this day I get a bit embarrassed when someone thanks me for my service. I enjoyed my 4 years in but realized military life just really wasn't for me and I didn't like any of the jobs they were offering me if I reenlisted, so I got out to see what I could do as a civilian. I served faithfully but don't care to make a fuss over it. Maybe it has to do with working in the intelligence field where everything had to be hush-hush and we officially didn't exist.

How strange, I don't even remember writing that. :-)

Quote:A chartered plane carrying 81 people, including members of a Brazilian soccer team that had made a stunning climb up the ranks at home, crashed on the outskirts of Medellín, Colombia, killing nearly everyone onboard, the authorities said early Tuesday.

Very sad.  Hopefully no one you knew.  Flying may be fairly safe but when it goes wrong it can be pretty darn bad.

Nothing to be embarrassed about. You put your time in and that's more than most people can say.  Shy

No, I didn't know anyone. It just always feels like I do though, because I always imagine it happening to Brian and how scary and devastating it would be. Those poor families, having to deal with loss in this way.  Sad
