Did... and it wasn't there.

Nibbles must be having a field day today. Oppo is a mess - I kept getting "branch not found" errors when trying to post.

The other story may have come up while I was getting those.

I was just getting ready to post this. I wish I were near Wichita; I'd go watch the departure.

Apparently so.

Nibbles has apparently diversified to eating not just pics, but posts now.

I *knew* I couldn't be the first to post it...

Blasted bloomin' Nibbles.

"There were some errors during save" does not mean "Saved successfully", in my book.

Aw, that could have happened to anybody. Still, though, even at night, you'd think you could tell the difference between a small regional airport and an AFB.
