It seems since the beginning of August I've been on the go, and it doesn't look to stop for several months. August in SD, then work, the trip to Biloxi after Katrina, then work, two trips in the last three weeks, one to Philly to visit a sister and attend a flying friend's wedding, then another to Orlando for a conference. In between I work, tomorrow is a class, and that's why when, yesterday, I had a chance to fly, I took it.
It was worth it, thought the air was not smooth and I spent the entire hour scratching on the ridge with a dozen (or two) others, near-missing each other since no one was high, and the conditions were borderline. Finally, when I felt myself break out in a sweat from low blood sugar (forgot to eat before launching) I decided I was a threat to aviation and went out to land about 7p. People flew until sunset, and, I suspect, after -- a full moon rose just as the sun went down behind the neighboring ridge.
