OH - and her father MIGHT be the pilot of that plane as he was flying a commercial airliner on that path.

I've been seeing some posts about GOOD RIDDANCE to 2017. In the last 2 summers I have lost a mother and a father in law so yea - good riddance to the last TWO years - HOWEVER - there have been some very very good things happening in the REST of the world.
The first Miss Wheelchair World was crowned. Thank you Poland
The first usable bionic eye was "installed" and IT WORKS. A blind mother saw her children for the very first time this year.
Woman are now allowed to drive in Saudi Arabie
The snow leopard is no longer on the endangered list (not so the Trumps can shoot them)
LEGO NASA female astronauts are a hit
Same sex marriage's are now legal in Taiwan
The first trans woman was elected in the US
House cleaning now counts as a physical activity - 30 minutes of house cleaning a day will reduce all sorts of bad body things according to a study
Drinking coffee increases your lifespan. By drinking 4 cups a day you reduce your risk of death by 64% above people that do not drink coffee
Peanut allergies will soon be cured. an Australian research team has been working on a probiotic-based treatment that allowed 80 out of 100 children with sever peanut allergies to eat peanuts. Four years later 70% of those could still eat peanuts
Creepy males are on the run (and no longer doing the news).
A 9 year old born with HIV as been basically cured.
Wax worms are eating plastic to their hearts content. One worm can eat 92 milligrams of plastic in 12 hours. Only 80 million tons to go - PER YEAR.
A new habitable planet has been found - 40 light years from here. There COULD be liquid water on the planet that orbits Trappist-1
World poverty is decreasing and world hunger is at it's lowest point in the last many many years.
Trans people are now protected in Canada (going the opposite direction of America)
So - it's not all bad.

Gus became a non-puppy yesterday. We pick him up later today. Last night DJ and I spent a calm, relaxing non-stressful evening to ourselves for the first time in 4 months. It was glorious. Gus is loved but is CONSTANTLY needing attention.The cats were calmer also. Or they were cold because our fireplace is broken.
We could actually eat on the couch if we wanted too.
********************************
According to reports from people that were on Trumps campaign they feel he was suffering form early onset dementia. Well, at least he controls the nukes and REALLY wants war with North Korea to prove he is a bad ass.
***********************
Puerto Rico still has no real power or drinking water for 50% of it's citizens AND the new GOP tax bill will raise imports and exports by 20% which will crush their fragile economy.
They LOVE the American people but feel Trump is giving them the finger with very very little help in any way even though they are Americans.
*************
Japan is dying. Literally. They are losing 300,000 people a year from old age and only 100,000 immigrants are coming to Japan.
+++++++
Children 7-10 in the UK are consuming 60 grams of sugar a day. To combat this the UK is putting restriction on advertising for sugar cereal. WELL, Kelloggs is claiming that Tony the Tiger is an ADULT cartoon not meant of children.
+++++
And of course the fiscally responsible GOP want to raise our National Debt by 1 TRILLION dollars. But don't worry - we will all be rich when the trickle down hits us in 10 years! Speaking of trickle down, Cisco, Coke-a-Cola and a plethora of companies are saying any corporate tax cuts will go directly to it's investors which is great if you are invested in the stock market (notice how excited the market is lately) Seems "trickle down" only helps people that don't really need help.
++++++++++
speaking of the Packers - REALLY? People are still saying "we" have a chance at the playoffs? Are you drinking the orange kool-aid? The Packers have no chance at the playoffs. "We" need to run the table and hope for 5 other teams to completely collapse. DRAFT PICKs are what we need.
WITH THAT SAID - Packers should win this Sunday! In fact in Fanduel I'll be playing Williams as one of my running backs (the very cheap one). In fact I think MANY MANY people will have Williams on their line-ups this week.
Sadly - Ohio St has a 56% chance of beating Wisconsin Saturday.
In the NFL - since 2011, 31 NFL teams have used 3 Starting QBs. The only team NOT to have 3 QBs The NY Giants (maybe they should)
+++++++++++++++++++++
WEATHER - the only chance of ANY rain in the next 10 days will be Sunday night to Monday night. Tuesday WINTER BEGINS as a rip in the Polar Vortex smashes into Wisconsin and will remain here for most of December. Below average temps (not reaching 32) for 3 or 4 weeks it's looking like. WINTER IS COMING!
Cheers - GO BUCKY.
