"Life is Difficult"

I didn't really agree with everything I read in "Road Less Traveled" but Author Scott Peck is now gone.

I wonder what he'll write about this next leg of his journey.

Bird + Plane = SNARGE

Or as Eddie Izzard might say "Engine suck bird in make soup..." (Glorious)

this article from Wired Magazine talks about work being done by the Smithsonian:

Each day, the Smithsonian Institution's Feather Identification Laboratory receives about a dozen packages from around the country, each containing tissue swabs from bird/plane collisions.

The lab's scientists have dubbed this bloody goo "snarge," and it is usually all that is left when bird meets plane. Scientists are analyzing snarge DNA to track airplane bird strikes, with the hope of decreasing hazardous collisions
