Pace ... F-16

Hey, what a second, that's my truck ... next to the blue arrow, of course. Not the guy at the front of the pack.

Interesting commute this morning ... I'm like, "[Well, you know what I said]". But then when I saw what was at the front of the line, I smiled and took a few more glances. Don't see this too often. In fact, I've never seen it. This F-16 was on its way for new paint job after dusting off some mothballs. Go Falcons!

Snow!

Global cooling?

One for the Ages

Huge props (no pun intended) to US Airways pilot Chesley Burnett "Sully" Sullenberger III today for making today's crash landing of Flight 1549 a "Miracle on the Hudson" -- truly remarkable. All 155 lives on board saved. I remember spending a few days right next to the Hudson while on a basketball trip to West Point over Thanksgiving 1996. That was November, and it was cold. Today, those people survived in water that was 36 degrees.

The article states he's an AFA Grad. That's always good for recruiting.

Seriously, what a miracle today.

A Jappy Farewell

We knew changes were on the way, but sad to see Jappy Oliver out at Notre Dame. Jappy (bio) coached under Fisher DeBerry at the AFA while I was in school, so I vividly remember running into him at the Field House on numerous occasions. Great guy. When he landed a job at ND with Charlie Weis, we all thought that was pretty cool.

Jobs Report

On a more serious note, wishing good luck to CEO Steve Jobs of Apple. My how speculation and actual reporting of his health affects the daily rise and fall of Apple’s stock (link). Lord knows America’s economy needs Jobs and Apple standing strong. Maybe I will invest in some Apple after all to support the team.
