Nothing interesting to post about this afternoon.
Dialysis was just *cough* wonderful...recovering from the mass sodimization everyone in ECE 107 had this morning with a midterm.
Sitting through a lecture right now in Digital Circuits class that would put anphetimine freaks to sleep. Honestly, the prof is a nice guy (he admitted me even though I didn't meet the prerequisites), but his lecture style needs a bit of improvement.
And now I'm getting IM'd from my cousin in Washington, D.C.
So, I thought I'd put up a beatiful painting of the plane my father flew in World War II - the Curtiss SB-2C Helldiver divebomber. The bonus of this painting is that the white stripes on the vertical stabilizer were the markings of my fathers air group - Air Group 9 on the USS Lexington. (Pretty sure it was Lexington....) My father's squadron was Bombing 9. As my brother says: Good stuff.
(Painter can be located at Dave's Warbirds.)
UPDATE: The website says that this painting is of one of USS Hancock's bombers. Honest - I was always told that Air Group 9 on USS Lexington had the white stripes on the vertical stabilizer.
I'll have to chat with my brother Tim and clarify this.....
Comments on Tuesday Afternoon in my Life
i can relate to the mass sodomization bit.
For us it was freshman statistics. The mean score on the final 10/120, the median 16, the mode 11. BTW if you hit the mean, you passed. I got a damn 9 and ended up with a C- after summer work.
