Evendays

Thanks for the prayers. We arrived home safely after several airports and several more problems with baggage. It seems that America West did not want to transfer our bags to our TED flight. But after a 7 hour wait they showed up in time for us to place them in the hands of British Airways employees. That actually worked out to our benefit, as we used the baggageless time to visit the newer Smithsonian Air and Space Museum at Dulles Airport. We caught a 50¢ bus to the hanger and saw planes old and new scattered across the tarmac floor and hung model-like from the ceiling. 

I felt mixed emotions as we peered into the Enola Gay cockpit. 61 years ago this month her crew dropped "little boy" on Hiroshima. As Wife and I stood near the plane, we heard one mother explain to her child that the bomb was dropped on the Japanese as revenge for Pearl Harbor. As we were leaving, another mom was explaining to her child that it was done to bring the war to an end.

Go see the museum if you get the chance.
