If a genie appeared and granted me one wish, it would be for everyone to watch the movie 9 to 5, and read the lyrics of the song. Dolly Parton could have been a billionaire, but chose to help others instead. The movie and the song are odes to working class women.

Just signed up for a ham radio training course (flash cards just were not gonna cut it). My father-in-law signed up too, so we can motivate each other. My goal is to eventually get my Amateur Extra license and join the volunteer emergency comms team for my city. 😁

One of the great photos of our time. Captured by Maximilien Lamy for AFP.
Smoke is seen in the distance across an expanse of water caused by a fast-moving wildfire near Lacanau in  southwestern France. In the foreground a middle aged couple are seen from behind relaxing on their beach loungers under a sun umbrella - as if it’s an entirely normal holiday. It is a very good visual depiction of life continuing amidst extreme climate change.

“On the morning of June 19, 1865, the U.S. Army arrived in Galveston, Texas, and delivered General Order No. 3, informing the people of Texas that “all slaves are free.” Six months later, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery nationwide. Every year since, #Juneteenth has been celebrated”

Ham Radio Workbench Podcast: HRWB 257 - Origins of Silicon Valley with Paul Wesling KM6LH
In this episode we meet Paul Wesling, KM6LH, a Silicon Valley veteran and a chronicler of it's history and the ham radio operators who shaped it. Paul tells us about some of the key figures from William Eitel and Jack McCullough (EiMac) to Charles Litton (Litton Industries), Steve Wozniak (Apple). The valley has been a fertile ground for invention and engineering for over 100 years. Paul walks us through some of the most significant people and inventions that impact our world today.

Cuba Is Running Out of Jet Fuel
Over the weekend, a NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) quietly appeared that carries very loud implications for aviation in the Caribbean: Cuba is projected to exhaust its aviation fuel supply sometime around February 10, with shortages expected to last at least a month, potentially longer depending on when a reliable shipment of fuel can arrive. For those who may not follow NOTAMs closely, these notices are how aviation authorities communicate operational hazards or changes to pilots and airlines.
