Airplanes, cats, guns, war, the more than occasional rant about the party of the Confederacy, the spinelessness of the Democrats and crap about anything else that flits through the somewhat offbeat mind of an armed lesbian pinko as she slides down the Razor Blade of Life.

What a spectacular aircraft! Never got to see one live, but years ago I saw a control line model of one with a six-foot wingspan - it took two grown men to fly - one with a two-handed control handle and another hanging on to his belt. Quite a noise with six engines running - o.40 or .45's if memory serves.

30 years ago, I worked with a guy who was a waist gunner in a B-29, then the B-36. He spoke of the crowded compartment of the '29, and how in the '36, there were four gunners, stacked positions, and plenty of room.
