Half Fast
Hectic day at work today. I just started a new assignment and it’s going to be a little stressful for a while.

So after work I headed for the airport. Traffic, of course, was a melluva hess. Wrecks and emergency vehicles everywhere. What should have been a 40 minutes drive took an hour and a half. By the time I got there I only had enough daylight left for a short flight. Grumble grumble...

Then I finally got into the air. Ahhhhh!!! Relief! What a lovely evening. Beautiful sky, bright sun dogs, smooth air. Had a nice hour just sightseeing and felt all the stress melt away.

Gosh that felt good!
 
I know the feeling. Low and slow on a nice evening is the best therapy there is!
 
Makes you forget about everything else for a while. That's why I do it.

I sometimes fly over traffic jams in hopes of inspiring someone to become a pilot.
 
Flying is a great stress reliever for me as well. The worst my week is, the more I want to fly to feel better. Beats drinking.
 
I know of which thee speaks...Best is in a Cub, when you can fold those windows down and stick your elbow out in the breeze, in classic hotrodder position. I wonder if I got my doc to write a script for 2 hours a week for mental health purposes, if AeroMed would pull my medical...
 
What the heck is a sun dog? Is it like a sun frog? Maybe a sun log? A nice sun jog.
 
No calls, no texts, no email, it's such a nice break from the world.

Maybe I can get Cigna to pay my plane rental....

Flying can be a Bit-- too.. but then again it can be great fun, and perfect head time.

I have noticed that being in traffic,is a bother,that gets my blood boiling. But once I get in the air ,everything is good ,even when I have strong headwinds.
