I'm being a lazy-assed bastard. I'm reading Calcio by the ridiculously named British author, John Foot. Even if the guy is an interista merda douchebag, some of this early history of Lega Calcio is pretty interesting.

Still on Pro Vercelli and how, in 1910, Inter was level with them on points for the championship and they scheduled a playoff on the same day Pro Vercelli was scheduled to play in a military tournament. Pissed off, in protest Pro Vercelli fielded their fourth squad of 10-15 year-olds. Inter won. Some things don't change. :D

Good book, even if some parts of the book show his bias.

Just got back from the airport and had lunch consisting of carrots, strawberries, and an apple. Yum :shifty:


Good call on the weather Van der Beck. There was a Cumulus cloud when I got to the aiport about 4-5 miles out from the airport starting at about 1,500 ft which turned into a Cumulonimbus cloud, moved over the runway and it started pouring down but it went away about as quick as it came in. For about 3 mins or so the airport was completely invisible...kinda scary because before we took my instructor had planned on letting me go by myself :D

note: I might have said the wrong shit, I'm trying to remember all the weather terms from my Aviation Weather class from two years back :p

You remember the class well then. Gotta watch out for those cumulonimbus clouds throughout the day. Glad you were able to take flight.
