 Ridge
Soaring Clinic, Winter '01

in place. A lone soldier with an assault rifle stood next to a hummer, halfway across the bridge.
What exactly he was going to do, if a plane rammed into the bridge, was a little unclear to me.
All the same, I was glad the bridge survived. it's a nice bridge. Never caused no one no harm.
We had been driving like maniacs, hoping to arrive in Pacifica for an afternoon flight. Finally,

Is it really possible to go on a flying trip and not have even one single bad weather day where you couldn't fly?
Did I really walk away from a flying day and go for a hike because I was too tired to fly eleven days in a row?
