Suicide Bomber hits the IRS
A disgruntled software engineer has flown a plane into the IRS building in Austin.
Judging by the pictures of the damage, I thought it must have been something quite large. But no, it was just a small Piper Cherokee, which weighs about a tonne.
I used to own and fly a Piper Arrow, which is just a Cherokee with a retractable undercarriage. It was a fine aircraft that had a sorry end as a few years after I sold it, it crashed killing all on board at Oban.
I also flew another Arrow all round Australia with my late wife. We visited Sydney, Mildura, Adelaide, Cooper Pede, Yulara, Alice Springs, Mount Isa, Cairns, Dunk Island, Mackay, Brisbane and Goondiwindi before heading back to Sydney.
That was real fun!

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
