Potpourri for Tuesday

“I say, old bean — the reactor appears to be on fire” — a line probably not heard during the Windscale Disaster in 1957. Divinely designed churches.  Some of these…

  1. “I say, old bean — the reactor appears to be on fire” — a line probably not heard during the Windscale Disaster in 1957.
  2. Divinely designed churches.  Some of these are just amazing.
  3. It is, indeed, possible for a plan to work too well.  That seems to be most true with plans (like the turkey one mentioned here) to introduce animals or plants to areas.
  4. Seriously … creepy … ads.  I think the one with the pig is the funniest creepiest.
  5. You thought “It’s a Small World” is the most annoyingly cloyingly mind-locking song of all time?  You’ve never heard “The Laugh Song”  — filmed, in part, at the infamous Chinese Disney-knockoff park.
  6. I did not know they still made Moxie.  Next time I have a friend heading off to the Northeast, I might bug them to pick up a can, just out of curiosity.
  7. Um … don’t jump up too high during that volleyball tournament on Maho Beach.  You might lose the ball (or your hand) to a 747 passing overhead …

  1. Yes, I was really tempted to buy some when I saw it in the store (the Moxie that is). 🙂

    So you are a week and a half too late.

    But, if some Random redhead decides to visit, I am sure he can be pursuaded to pick up some for you. 🙂

  2. As too the churches:

    I really, really want to see La Sagrada Familia.

    St. Peters is….Amazing.

    Notre Dame, the best part is the South Rose window.

    Also I liked:

    Les Invalides

    Basilica of the Sacré Cœur

    And my fave

    La Sainte-Chapelle

    Though I find it odd that the Airforce Acadamy’s Protestant Chapel is not on that list since it is such a stunning building inside and out.

  4. Flying into St. Maarten is kind of the new flying into old Kai Tak Airport. 🙂

    The landing approach using runway 13 at Kai Tak was distinctive. To land on runway 13, an aircraft first took a descent heading northeast. The aircraft would pass over the harbour, and then the very densely populated areas on Western Kowloon. This leg of the approach was guided by an IGS (Instrument Guidance System, a modified ILS) after 1974. Upon reaching a small hill marked with a checkerboard in red and white, which is being marked as a middle marker in the final approach, the pilot needed to make a 47° visual right turn to line up with the runway and complete the final leg. The aircraft would be just two nautical miles from touchdown, at a height of less than 1000 ft when the turn was made. Typically the plane would enter the final right turn at the height of about 650 ft and exit it at the height of 140 ft to line up with the runway. Landing the 13 approach is already difficult with normal crosswinds since even if the wind direction is constant, it is changing relative to the airplane when the 47° visual right turn is being made. The landing would become even more challenging when crosswinds from the northeast were strong and gusty during typhoons. The mountain range northeast of the airport also makes wind vary greatly in both speed and direction; thus, varying the lift of the airplane. This approach was used most of the time due to the prevailing wind direction in Hong Kong.
    Due to the turn in final approach, no landings in runway 13 could use ILS and had to follow a Visual Approach. This made the runway unusable in low visibility conditions.

    Watch the vid filmed from the Middle Beacon (checker board) as a 747 “crabs” in on 13.
