Article in the paper

Schumer, Clinton see danger in curtailing hours at airport tower

The important bit:

“It’s not a huge deal. There’s 10 times as many uncontrolled airports as there are with control towers, so pilots are pretty used to flying without towers,” said Paul Tomblin of Greece, secretary of the Rochester Flying Club.

“There’s not a lot of traffic after midnight. I’ve been to Rochester in the middle of the night and the controllers sounded pretty bored,” Tomblin said.

What the on-line edition spares you from is the horror of seeing the picture they illustrated the article with. It was basically this picture from our Alaska cruise, but cropped in a bit so you couldn’t see the PFD and spray skirt. Oh, the horror.

Hmmm. Picture doesn’t show on the first page of my blog, but does on the article page.

Switched

I’d rather fight than switch. I’ve switched my blog over to WordPress. I’ve got the font size issue fixed. Everything is imported from the old blog. The only problem is that links to the old blog won’t work, because the naming convention of individual posts has changed. Now if only I could remember to uncheck “Uncategorized” before saving each entry.

Anyway, if you’re having any problems with the way things render, links not working, comment spam blocking requiring you to jump through too many hoops, you’re seeing comment or trackback spam, or other problems, please let me know via email to ptomblin at xcski.com
