...and all I did was fly a Cessna XC to Seattle.
Mine is still more impressive
But I had a better view.

*grumbles angrily about service ceilings*
Cessna XC "Vomit Comet" sounds like...no actually not at all. Your plane would probably lose its wings when pulling out of the dive, wouldn't it?

I signed up for this "Hawken" game some years ago, and recently it released to Steam Early Access. I got in for free and have been messing about in it for a few days. Last night I managed to beat the cooperative bot-grinder mission with a couple of great guys.

Just had the 1st thunderstorm of the year: it was so BIG (probably something like >25 inches/70mm per hour) that it hailed everywhere in my city! :blink:

Any tornadoes? If not, you haven't seen a TRUE thunderstorm.
Well, most supercells never form a tornado, though having the intensity for it... and the 80 mm hail in Wolfsburg last summer was bad enough...
Thunderstorm with rotating wall cloud, but no signs of tornadic activity along the path through the whole state. Still the 15 minutes of hail caused multiple 100s million Euros damages... 17,000 cars had been damaged alone at the local Volkswagen plant.

Words of Wisdom
Every day is a day you haven't seen in a year; Be grateful for it, and take advantage of it--you won't see it for another year.
True freedom or slavery is not in how your fellow human being treats you, but how you treat them.
True love is when you see someone as being important not just to you, but to everyone around them.
You can't escape death or taxes, but you can prolong your life and spend less.
Pain is inevitable--but misery is optional.

Non sequitur
"The universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew. Therefore, there is in truth no past, only a memory of the past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. Therefore, the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it."

So why are the Bavarians so great at it and not...the Saxons?
That was without a doubt the best April Fools joke I read this year :lol:
