Finally got to fly with the new camera set up. Funston provided a
nice, stable platform from which to shoot and revealed all of one's camera
system defects and incorrect assumptions.
Shooting video by pointing at your subjects through your viewfinder and keeping
them there is hard. But Greg and I... mehr

Larry Bunner and I just before we took off for my normal 22 mile
daily ride
Gary Osoba took this photo:With the wind at 25 mph gusting to 33 mph out of the west, Larry and I decided

over the next few days. mehr

It is not compulsory that you support the Oz Report through a donation to it.
The Oz Report will most likely continue even if you don't help out. It's likely
that someone else will make a contribution even if you "forget" or let it slip
this year. There are undoubtedly many needy organizations and people that can
put your... mehr

All day we watched on the radar the rain marching across the south
heading straight for central Florida. After a pleasant warm day flying on
Saturday, we were all aware that we would not be flying for a couple of days, so
it was time to engage in useful social interactions. I was able to track down at
