Airplane pictures.

Someone, who shall remain nameless but whose name rhymes with "camera", remembered to bring her camera along to New Hamster but managed to leave the camera's SD card in the card reader hooked to her desktop back home. A couple of pictures were taken in airports, and these managed to fill up the puny on-board memory quite handily.


Beech 1900 on the United puddlejumper ramp in CLE. The 1900 was developed from the Super King Air, which makes it sort of a Super Duper King Air. I'll bet you none of those passenger realize how super duper their ride is. (Sure, they seem insignificant on a tarmac full of jetliners, but I was used to looking at them from a hangar full of Cessna 310s. It's all a matter of scale.)

While I arrived at CLE through a jetway that was once again comically trying to devour the tiny Embraer, I departed via airstairs (which was cool,) in the rain (which wasn't.)

The Terrible Secret of Politics.

Although on the surface the robots can seem hard to tell apart, it would appear that Obama wants to push bread down my throat and McCain wants to shove me down stairs. It's actually hard to decide which robot to distrust more.

All I know is that they both say they're here to protect me, and that the other robot is defective.
