Burnout



Do to a severe attack of burnout, I probably won't be writing much in the way of new stuff next week. I know that last time I said this I still kept writing new articles, but this is getting bad. Makes me wish all over for a good trustworthy co-blogger or two, because then when I go through these phases, there would still be new stuff posting here. Traffic's way off since early summer (averaging just shy of 3000 visits per day as opposed to about 4800 there for close to a month) probably because I'm stretched a little too thin at the moment, although some could be because of the time of the year no longer being prime real estate season. So don't be surprised if the morning article is a retread for about a week.



What I really need is a good RPG session.

They found the Macon! New Photos Reveal 1935 Airship at Bottom of Pacific Ocean



This airship went down in a storm off Point Sur back on 1935. I've seen pictures and grainy newsreel type footage of the Macon (and its sister, the Akron, also lost in a storm) launching and recovering aircraft, an airborne version of an aircraft carrier. Fascinating stuff from the period where the world was figuring out the real engineering of aviation.
