They’re flying right over my house!

Having lived on bases with jets flying over me all the time and waking me up, I don’t get the same enjoyment you do I guess!

Well, I do seem to have an affinity for airplanes. We are on one of the landing paths for AUS, and we usually have jets overhead regularly. I think I’ve seen two or three in the last two months. So I’m looking forward to this.

That southbound leg just south of Round Rock should put them right overhead. Hopefully, the weather will be nice. Lots of clouds and rain today, and the rest of the week. It was originally scheduled for today, but was moved to tomorrow due to weather. We’ll see!

No love for DFW. :(

It’s from “Flubber”, which was a remake of this:
Which is a classic. Both movies are good, though personally I think the original is better. If you haven’t seen them, I highly recommend them.

You got the Blue Angels last week.

I’ve seen the Absent Minded Professor way back in the day. I imagine they’re both on D+, which we have.

I believe so... Basically the remake is like the original, but with Ro bin Williams, robots, a Thunderbird, and sentient goo. So it’s weirder.

Wasn’t AMP where they put the flubber on the basketball team’s shoes and they flew around the arena?

Yep. And other bouncy shenanigans!

Only if I had a telescope. They were so far across town.

Hope it’s a little clearer than today.
Looks like they’ll be over my studio twice.

We’ve had more than an inch of rain today at the USGS gauge near my house. Where was that picture taken?

At the front door of the studio. I’m right off 183, just north of the river.
It’s STILL raining, here.

So you’re enjoying all of the construction?

Well, I haven’t driven on 183 in 2 months, now, but all the giant new apartment complexes being built on Airport, E
7th st, and Cesar Chavez have me dreading the traffic to come. It was a clusterfuck before.

Same thing is happening up here in Wells Branch. Massive new apartment complexes on WB Pkway and Howard east of I- 35, with the same lame infrastructure to handle all the increased traffic.
