Ten new friends

What ARE those things? Little worms or slugs writhing toward the light?

No: dog treats. A friend gave me them. Dogs like them. I’m not sure why he had them, since he has not had a dog for a long while. He told me there was a dog walker on a bike with about ten dogs. He threw them some treats, and the guy on the bike had to scramble to avoid a crashing to the ground.

So, I said, you’ve made ten new friends and one new enemy.

Hercules overhead

I was aware of four passes overhead today of the Uruguayan Air forces complete inventory of KC-130 Hercules aircraft. Mocha the dog did not approve of these unauthorized airspace intruders.

Why? Training, I suppose. Note that the first test flight of a KC-130 was in January 1960. I love that the aircraft of the Uruguayan Air Force are all models introduced over 50 years ago, one exception being the Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia, introduced “only” 40 years ago.
