Air Museum at Valle, Arizona

It’s been a long time since I used to crawl around in the belly of the Navy EC121K version of one of these to change the oil in the APS-20E radar.

Another Inept California Law

Last June, the state of California enacted a law prohibiting drivers from using a cell phone while driving unless equipped with hands-free device. That worked so good, that the observed non-compliance rate, actually increased by about 50 percent (myself and the better half, being the observers).

I hope, for the safety of other drivers that people will obey this new law. My confidence that they will do so, however, is close to zero.

This new law will work as well as the California anti-gun laws. Only the law abiding are going to obey the law. Others - well this IS California . . .

Nevada is known for gambling and bordellos - more the former and less the latter, these days.

At least I think it is, from what I can see - maybe it’s a 1955. One thing is for sure, this is really a cool car.
