NOW defends Michelle Bachman.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

an 8 hour day followed by a five hour drive left me hammered flat. Head hit the pillow already asleep; then the stress on the knees took it’s toll; everything is stiff and sore- a day of climbing on machines like a mountain goat and then sitting immobile in the car is just rough on me, anymore.

but I saw a PBV Catalina ( I assume it was a PBV and not a PBY since it was in Canada, which would, I think, make it an OA-10)

Man, it was pretty. I saw it on the ground in the Kincardine airport, and in the air over Owen Sound. There was also a DeHavilland Beaver flying around. A tight DHC-2 Beaver is a half million bucks, I have no idea what the PBV costs or costs to operate- an 18 ton (empty!) aircraft with two 14 cylinder pratt-whitney radials?

Someone still has some money.
