H1N1 has hit the area hard in the last week. Almost every school in the area has been closed this week due to widespread illness. Last night was like a ghost town here as everyone is worried about getting sick. I've been feeling well for the most part but that may not last.
Flying here over the last few weeks has been very good. Steve should have his private pilots license by the end of next week. Eric should have his commercial license in the same time period. Several people are also very close to their instrument rating and they should be ready for their tests in the next two weeks.
Fall colors have hit their peak and are great right now! Flying with some friends last Saturday was a nice change of pace from the teaching routine as it gave me a chance to really enjoy the infinite number of colors in the trees right now. I spent Monday and Tuesday of this last week on a long trip to Virginia. What would have been a 10-12 hour drive was a direct 3 hour flight from Michigan. I was ready to fly in poor weather but I could not find a cloud for the entire trip. I had the chance to fly over the Appalachian mountains which made the flight one of the best I have had in a long time. At the highest elevations I could see snow on top of several of the peaks. I have never been into the Shenandoah valley before and it was beautiful. I want to add some photos but right now my computer is not cooperating.
Winter is waiting just around the corner and next week I'll need to take my convertible mustang and switch to something that is more equipped for winter.
