This was in NH a few years ago. We landed just after the rain passed thru, and I thought the reflection on the ramp was pretty cool. Came back out to the plane an hour later, and the moment was gone. Glad I caught it when I did.

Last October our daughter's little boy (3 1/2) had a part in our son's wedding party. Here he is posing in front of the '54 Cadillac convertible that I drove the newlyweds in.

I had a close friend named Vera Hamilton that died about 2 years ago. Everybody called her “Sister”. Sister had a massive stroke. On the way to work, right after her passing, I looked down to see this on the radio. She was saying goodbye on every channel for about 2 hours. I’ll treasure these pictures forever.

I vaguely recall you posting that story before David. Tell me, what was actually playing on the radio as you scanned through those stations? Normal play, static?
Very interesting as I had a similar experience when a close cousin of mine passed. Involved him in a dream that came true later that night.

Greg, I don't remember specifically what was on but there was music playing normally on of all the stations. When I first noticed, I was listening to the local classic rock station, 106.9. I glanced over and saw "Sister" and thought that was a weird coincidence. Then I realized the song didn't fit the title and nearly ran off the road.

David - that's so cool. Creepy, but cool. Lots more to this world than meets the eye, methinks.

Took the dogs for out to the big county dog park along the river and caught these lovebirds:

And the dogs, of course.
