Yes, indeed, lawn mower operations do take precedence over OTAQ&D activities, or so I am gently reminded from time to time by a certain Lady K.
I also remember seeing a CP Air DC-8 for the first time resplendent in the orange/red paint scheme. The location was LAX. Additional sightings of CP Air B727-200 and B737-200 aircraft in this beautiful livery then followed over the years at both LAX and SFO. And I wonder if that DC-8 was the same CP aircraft that went supersonic in a controlled dive during at test flight at Edwards Air Force Base north of L.A. with none other than Chuck Yeager flying chase in an F-104.....
Meantime, a kitty-cat update: Miss Bella attempted to ambush the kitten over the weekend and the little guy then returned the favor by going after little pup's tail with her front claws. I broke it up both times and have been trying to get both parties into mediated peace talks. Update to follow, although I' m glad to report the kitten is now very much on the mend following my rescue mission in southeast Texas last Thursday.
