How was the trip?Ugh! Arrival in Chicago involved an ILS Circle-to-land approach to minimums. (That might not mean anything to you, I don't know, it means it's challenging) All day Thursday I had to sit in a meeting that didn't involve me. We were scheduled to depart Chicago at 10:30 Friday, the boss shows up at 11:45. IFR all the way with another ILS approach into St. Paul (no lunch). Other than that, great!
Fliers do use a lot of acronyms, don't they?

Good morning ladies. Flag-o-gram.
Most famous flag update.
After removing the 1.7 million stitches that held the flag to the linen backing, the conservators had an unobstructed view of the flag's surface for the first time in 85 years. They documented its current condition, including fiber deterioration and stains, using a camera attached to a microscope. Information obtained during this phase will help project curators and conservators decide on future steps in the conservation treatment.
One of the further reading links in my Flag Day thread had instructions for making your own US flag. I'm going to take those and tweak them slightly, to get a 15 star, 15 stripe 1812 flag.

Not famliar with that particular one. Some of those online Flight Sims get real hardcore "pilots", If he's into it he should enjoy it.

Jefferson Davis' selection of leaders in the West was such a disaster from start to finish!He was too loyal to men who should have been replaced, sort of like Lincoln early in the war. ;-)

I have a vague idea, I know what ILS is and "Circle to Land" is, not sure how the combination works.
Did you land at Midway, O'Hare or one of the outlying airports?

We all new States Rights were dead. I didn't know they had a tombstone. It would have been better if I had spelled "knew" correctly. ....sigh....
Multitasking has its downside.

If the wind is blowing the wrong way you use the ILS to get down below the overcast, but then you have to keep the runway in sight and fly around to land the way you came from. I landed at Palwaukee - north of downtown.

1735 John Adams Braintree, Mass (F) 2nd pres (1797-1801) I've been reading John Adams by David McCullough. This an excerpt from a letter sent by John Adams to his son, John Quincy Adams:
Public business, my son, must always be done by somebody. It will be done by somebody or other. If wise men decline it, others will not; if honest men refuse it, others will not. A young man should weigh well his plans. Integrity should be preserved in all events, as essential to his happiness, through every stage of his existence. His first maxim should be to place his honor out of reach of all men. In order to do this he must make it a rule never to become dependent on public employments for subsistence. Let him have a trade, a profession, a farm, a shop, something where he can honestly live, and then he may engage in public affairs, if invited, upon independent principles. My advice to my children is to maintain an independent character.
This quote says a huge mouthful. I can think of very few public servants that come close to this standard.

Thanks for the link. Still have compost blowing around Middle Earth?

His speeches and private correspondence reveal that he often thought in cliches, that his vocabulary was narrow and that he had difficulty with syntax.He was a Fighter, not a Lover. Whew, good thing.
