The view from my "office"

Having the equipment alive and working for a few hours would have given the US time to bounce a few signals around and see how it responded. Can't do that when it's smashed to pieces.

Might have done that. Remember that it was flying for a few days across Continental USA before they shot it down. Presumably a few U2s had a mosey around ( other jets did the shooting).

I liked that they wasted two $450k missiles on the $18 hobby balloon over Canada!

But an invaluable exercise in tracking and engaging an unusual target.

If I didn't have all these other bloomin' trips planned I probably would!

View from our accommodation in Turin, always fun to have something a little more residential, more authentic.

Some smudges or something on your camera lens? Causing something white and odd to appear in the sky in your pictures. Something certainly isn't PERfect there.

I agree - a single person and dog on my beach - I’m not happy, Jan.

What is it with Tasmanians. Don’t they know how to enjoy a beach. Up here on the Sunshine Coast we know how to enjoy a beach even if the weather is not perfect. From last night’s office at the Maroochydore Surf Club at Cotton Tree.



The wind surfers were having a great time.




And the Surf Club.

A little wander around Turin, interesting city and feels quite Parisian almost with lots of nice wide boulevards. Very clean for an Italian city too. Happy with the little apartment we're staying in too, very clean, quite modern inside and most importantly nice and quiet!

Waiting patiently for his master to return.

Interesting mosaics on the front.

Are we in Turin or Paris?

The entrance into our apartment. A large door to go through, then a set of gates.... then up some stairs.

Did you do one of their “experiences”?

We did the tour, tasting and lunch about 12 months ago as part of a Ghan trip. Very enjoyable!
