Wings Over Long Beach

My brother, Chris, and I climbed through this massive C-17 under brown skies this Sunday. You could see the smoke plumes from the Brea wildfires in the distance while the ash left a burning sensation in your nose and mouth. The show also included an aerial tanker complete with engine cozies, a 1961 vintage B-52 Stratofortress, an F-14 fighter (all in military gray), a curvy flying boat and a mint DC-3. We also got to watch the thundering, behemoth C-17 take off.

Am I ready yet?

So, this is Beckham. A chihuahua mix that I’ve been fostering for a neighbor for two weeks now. He has been up for adoption twice now with no takers, so he keeps ending up with me. I’m not sure I’m ready for another dog yet, but this one is starting to attach himself to me. He’s not what I ever pictured myself having…a small, male dog. But he is cute, friendly, housebroken, and doesn’t eat much. Sounds like I’m convincing myself, huh?
