My new Win-8 Theme...
Keeping this in the viewer at 50X freehand isn't as easy as you might think, so even though there isn't a lot of detail here, It's the best I could do.... and I think I'll keep it.
Here are all four of the set, without my desktop details on them....
Ray... I like the one of the ship pointing upwards...The other reminds me of that (whisper) other plane... Who would think in this day and age you could lose a jumbo airplane loaded with passengers...What kind of technology do we have out there? Pretty poor if you ask me...
Yes, if we've got GPS in our phones and cameras, why can't they keep track of an aircraft costing $261.5 million dollars?
Even if the pilot was a nut case, it should be impossible to lose it, and that shouldn't be something a pilot on board could change. This isn't rocket science, just common sense.
And if the battery in my smoke detector lasts for six months or so, why can't the emergency locator battery last more than 30 days? Doesn't anyone know how to play this game?
That second shot that you didn't care so much for was taken just as the plane was about to disappear past the roof of this building, so I had to snap it quick without falling out my 16th floor window. Most of the sky at the time was obscured with thin high clouds, and so I held off hoping for a clear spot, and that was just before it passed over the building, so it wasn't the best.
