Evening notes


Rain lashing down, winds are howling at force 9. Again. It's still winter, obviously. We're in for a short, sharp shock of winter, after which the Atlantic will resume its sway.

Heard a pitiful story of an pilot who had suffered a mental breakdown at the controls of a commercial airliner. He wanted to talk to God. The plane, flying from Toronto to London, landed in Ireland. The man was taken off to be taken to hospital, as he had suffered a mental breakdown. The passengers disembarked, but were flown on to London 8 hours late.

    Sounds like a perfect evening to stay indoors, safe & sound.  How awful for the Pilot.  I wonder what triggered his breakdown, scary situation for passengers on the plane.  You are really good with giving me even more reasons not to fly!  ;)

    Aye its wild and wooly outside Guido.  We are havin such inclement weather these days..warm and dry one day cold windy and freezing rain the next.  Snow to be expected over the weekend too.     Well!   At least is gives us all something to talk about.  Lol!
    Scary about that pilot.  Not a good place for delusions to take place.  So glad everyone got down safely and he is being looked after.
