Colorado air traffic controller Jake Hutzler straps on a propeller and flies himself to work each dayFor someone who has been fascinated with flying since childhood, it’s a particularly satisfying commute. Hutzler says it’s as close as you can get to flying like a bird.

jredd23 LinkSomewhat of happy/odd news, Flip/Flop Rescue. It's a story on the rescue of Conjoined Twin Turtles. It's a great video, 16 minutes long but for some reason watching it makes me feel like a kid again.Somewhat of happy/odd news, Flip/Flop Rescue. It's a story on the rescue of Conjoined Twin Turtles.

Congrats to Jo Franchetti for putting out there something to think on and hopefully as she finished on the video, fix! I've been working in TEC for most of my life (working / student / kid) and the coders have been in my experience the biggest PITA, insufferable group within TEC. They have issues! No surprise on what she said of that group. The bigger surprise are the others who aren't coders; the other men from what I gather. I wish I had a fix for others; truly am a work-in-progress for myself. However, one thing that I think is not getting a lot of attention is her remarks on premenopausal. I think, it is mostly because most people are not at that age. Really interesting that she decided to go there within the context of work / career. I learned of it from my own personal life but not within the context of work. Within the job, I have so many things to think about but I don't think I've ever had a discussion or participated in a discussion on premenopausal impacts. Thoughts?

These social media sites know what they are doing is wrong but keep on doing it (again I don't know anything of what the scope and findings of this case) so I do hope this the 1st of many more to come.

Said better by others whom I have read on the subject. Some Americans seem to think they have the higher moral ground, a higher esteem of self decency and have no quarrels breaching common law to get it done. It's frustrating to no end. Trump is just the cancer that has taken root from years of this attitude. Some even trace this back to the 1860's reconstruction period of the civil war.
