I had forgotten about the Trump, "I made sure you got your stimulus money" letter and saw they sent it in the dreaded 1444 envelope notice. (The one they use to inform you of "irregularities" in your income tax filings, the fukers.)

This today, good luck trying to get thru:

Yeah, I had same reaction: I filed my taxes early Feb, got the stimulus direct deposit a few weeks after my refund. I got the Trump letter 2 weeks ago and when I first saw it before opening I thought "ahhh shit, now what".

Got mine today, thought the same thing.
Worse yet, I've got that USPS service where they send you an email overnight telling you what mail to expect the next day so I got to worry about it for a while.

Pretty sad and scary incident. Thankfully (from what I understand) nobody on the ground was hurt and the woman whose house was hit by the debris was out. I was having thoughts of Lockerbie when I heard the news earlier.
I hate to say it but they should ground the snowbirds until we can provide them with modern equipment. I was stunned when I read that they're flying 60 year old Tutor training airplanes. We should definitely question the logic of sending young pilots out to risk their lives for our entertainment. What a waste.

That's the reason I stopped attending airshows a long time ago.

Ontario confirmed that there will be no in classroom learning for the remainder of 2019/2020 school year They are asking schools not to cancel graduations and prom instead hosting them in the summer or fall when it's safe. At least the class of 2020 isn't going to be robbed of that experience.

The USAF used a T-37 trainer first flown in 1954 up until retiring them in 2009. They remind me of the Tutor. They made a ear piercing noise when idling. The USAF demonstration teams have lost a few aircraft over the years also.
I only like the Warbird airshows; don't need trick flying. I'm satisfied just seeing and hearing them.
Reno air races. P-51's are some sexy ladies.
