Hi Guys,
Our winter snow has everything white and the holidays are fully under
way. I’ve come to really appreciate the warmth of our friends here, our
new twin grandsons Edgar and Cecil and family at home. And Toby my cat,
but my mind wanders to images from 2500 feet, with the snow below and
white overcast above. Last fall’s green patchwork of farms now looks
like an arctic landscape. The half mile wide Mississippi between Iowa
and Illinois draws sharp contrast of brown and white as ice flows pile
up around small islands all the way to Muscatine. Lots of deer can
easily be seen trailing through the woods. Winter birds soar around the
dams and I’ll have to keep an eye out for the occasional eagle that will
pass. The cold air and open countryside are bleak but beautiful in
winter and flying it is just the best. The Stratus Subaru in my 601
likes cold weather and it still sounds like a sweet sewing machine. I
can’t wait for the early winter wind to steady out and the MLI snowplow
to cross in front of my hangar so it can begin again. To all of you who
share this miracle of electronic conversation and debate, I wish you and
yours a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Quad Cities of
northwestern Illinois.
