This working simulator of the “Spirit of St. Louis” is in the Lindbergh museum in the childhood home of Charles Lindbergh in Little Falls, Minnesota. I crashed three times trying to take off. When I did take off I got 300 feet up and crashed again. The simulator is made to respond the way the over-loaded and under-powered original did.

My son just sent me this photo of Tenaya Lake, high in the Tuolumne Pass of Yosemite National Park. He’s there with his wife now. He and I first went there 25 years ago.

Yep…back in the day…
 
The legend of Gelert, of Beddgelert.
“ In the 13th century Llewelyn, prince of North Wales, had a palace at Beddgelert. One day he went hunting without Gelert, ‘The Faithful Hound’, who was unaccountably absent.

On Llewelyn’s return the truant, stained and smeared with blood, joyfully sprang to meet his master. The prince alarmed hastened to find his son, and saw the infant’s cot empty, the bedclothes and floor covered with blood.

The frantic father plunged his sword into the hound’s side, thinking it had killed his heir. The dog’s dying yell was answered by a child’s cry.

Llewelyn searched and discovered his boy unharmed, but nearby lay the body of a mighty wolf which Gelert had slain. The prince filled with remorse is said never to have smiled again. He buried Gelert here".

Millions of Poles travel across the country to visit the graves of their beloved ones, bringing grave lanterns with them. In the evening, the graveyards glow so intensely that they light up the sky from miles away.
